My Summary
About Me
I was born in 1972 and am a mum to a beautiful girl born in 2008. I have been married to my lovely husband since 2006.
I love gardening and growing fruit and vegetables on our allotment where my child minded children are welcome to plant and grow their own vegetables.
I enjoy going to Southwold with my family taking our bikes and cycling around stopping off at the beach hut so we can build lots of sand castles on the beach.
I work full time 7.30am to 6pm however I am willing to negotiate hours and consider occasional weekends if require.
I offer a warm, loving and safe enviroment for your child to be cared in. You will find my home to be a friendly and pleasant place for children to spend time where all children are treated with respect and valued as an individual.
I have a variety of toys for both indoor and outdoor play including educational toys and do my utmost to encourage leaning through play.
I work closely with the parents of my children and have built great realationships with them.
I go on regular outtings, visit the library or zoo and attend various toddler groups/play schemes, and meet up with childminder friends and their children.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information or to arrange to come along and meet me.
Thank you :)
