I need a follower but can't find one anywhere.

To the second part of your question, it depends on your playstyle. If you like to sneak in, then don't bother. If you like to charge in, then a follower with heavy armor can be great at tanking damage like an idiot when you need to run and heal.– Unionhawk ♦Mar 25, 2014 at 21:46

Here's a list of all followers in the game.
The first follower you get access to will likely be either Sven or Faendal in Riverwood, talk to either of them to do a simple quest that will net you a starter follower.
