My Summary
About Me
I am a married and have three girls.They are now grown up and one has two children. We have 2 grandchildren - a little girl aged 4 years, and a little boy 18 months.
I have really enjoyed my childcare career. I am first aid trained, and have a DBS certificate. I have kept up to date with all relevant training and was highly thought of as I thought outside the box to give the children a fantastic day in my care, all relative to EYFS.
I worked 16 years as a childminder, three years as a foster carer, and about 4 years in a nursery setting as a nursery practitioner.
I cared for my mother as she was ill for nine years, which took me away from childcare for a while.
I recently took early retirement (last September 2023) but in the next few months I am coming back to childminding. I am currently in the process of re-registering.
My Experience
I have worked as a nursery nurse in a local nursery for about four years, which was difficult as I was also caring for my mum and my days became very long at that time. I enjoyed working in a team and in the different rooms and age ranges there.
I have been a childminder for 16 years and cared for very young babies and children up to the age of 11 years. I am now in the process of re - registering as a childminder.
I was also a foster carer for three years, caring for newborn babies, and young children up to the age of 8 years. This was a wonderful rewarding experience but emotional as we said goodbye to them and their new lives.
My Qualifications
NVQ2 in Early Years and Childcare Feb 2003
NVQ3 in Early Years and Childcare July 2005
Elklan training completed April 2011
My Availability
My husband retired a year ago so my flexibility is not as varied as it was before, when we were both working very long hours, and we had young children of our own with school runs too.
I feel I wish to offer 5 days childcare a week, between Monday and Friday possibly between 7.30am and 5pm, although at this stage it will be discussed and may be re-negotiated.
