My Summary
Qualified Nursery Nurse,
About Me
Hi, I’m a childminder of many years. I have brought up six of my own children, fostered many. I work with my daughter from a purpose built playroom, bathroom and kitchen area. Our children enjoy sand, water, paints and freedom to choose which toys to play with, the children enjoy trips to parks, farms, zoos and walks. I’ve worked for many years always in the childcare sector from providing crèches for adult education to driving a double decker playbus doing outreach work for Manchester City council. I now enjoy working from home doing the most amazing job supporting parent/carers to be able to go to work relaxed in the knowledge that their little one is being cared for to a very highly standard whilst also learning and enjoying their day. I’m happy to meet for an informal chat before initial visit and I can also provide verbal refs from past and present parents/carers. I work with my adult daughter.
