About Me

I am in my early 40's looking recently registered as a childminder.

I have an enhanced DBS checked and first aid paediatric trained.

Previously, I have worked in a GP practice for over 17 years but would like a change.
Since my son was born, I have found a new interest in teaching and guiding children in achieving their best.

At present, I am volunteering in a primary school as a book reader for year 2. Last year I was helping with year 1. I have had positive reviews from the kids, Headteacher, and the teacher.

I have a passion for teaching, helping, and guiding children to reach their full potential by helping them explore multiple ways of learning such as visuals, reading, and listening. I also relish the opportunity to take on more practical tasks such as visiting various parks, playgroups, or visiting museums/galleries. I also prepare a range of healthy foods as good nutrition plays an important part in children’s development.

Furthermore, I consider myself multilingual; I am good in speaking and writing French and fluent in speaking and writing Mauritian and English which I am more than happy to offer as lessons to the children during my time with them. I also offer overnight care service from 7 pm.

In the past, I have helped friends and families in taking care of their children including overnight care, leaving each parent/carer satisfied with my service. I have a 7-year-old son; and being a parent to him has helped me in various ways in understanding the role which I will play in the children’s social, intellectual, physical, and emotional development which I look forward to observing.

My home consists of 2 play kitchens with a whole range of toys including arts and crafts sets and STEM activities which I am happy for the children to utilise if/when necessary. The house also has a large safe balcony with artificial grass layered across the flooring.

I believe knowledge is power, so I always find ways and courses to keep updating my skills and knowledge to help me further develop in supporting children in their learning journey.
All of the fun activities I do in my home day-care cover all their development - sensory, fine and gross motor skills, heavy work, pre-writing, maths, science, physical, life and learning, hand-eye coordination, Creativity and imagination, and more.

I offer after-breakfast and after-school clubs. I can also be flexible with times.
As I have a 7-year-old son, He has extra-curricular activities Monday to Friday to which I need to go with him and wait till he finishes. I will take the children I look after with me - I will provide snacks after school. While my son is in his class, I can help the children I look after with homework and, also play in the park if time and weather permit.

I have done the same in the past when helping friends and families and they were satisfied and happy.
