My Summary
Karen Barker Childminder
About Me
I am a fully Registered Childminder with over 32 years experience. I started childminding when my children were young which I am really grateful for as it allowed me to be a stay at home mum and provide a homely enviroment for the children I have cared for over the years:-) I love caring for children, this job brings me a lot of joy watching them progress and develop.
I love doing arts and crafts with the children as well as baking.
I love nothing better that to be outdoors with the children - visiting most of the local parks, Calderglen Country Park, Stewartfield Loch, Overton Park, Queens park, Roukenglen Park
We attend Burnside Playgroup on a Wednesday morning, Soft Play, Libraries etc
I have a summerhouse in my back garden which we make very good use of in the summer months for story times, play also providing us with some shelter when it rains.
We have a dog called Indie - she is a Tibetan Terrier and is now 10 years old. She is the same dog used in Come Outside - Pippin and Aunty Maybole ! (I'm not Aunty Maybole! ) A breed know for being very good with children. She is very good natured.
