My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Lynda. I live by the sea with my two beautiful boys aged 18 and 21, two cats and a new kitten. I love art, music, nature and cooking. I love to be outside, exploring and learning about the world around me- I love to appreciate the little things.
I am honest, caring, hardworking, reliable, adaptable, have a good sense of humour and love to play!
I like to work holistically, allowing the child to lead through play and creativity.
As a caregiver, I believe that feeling safe, loved and listened to is essential to a healthy relationship, but also having strong boundaries, good ethics, trust and reliability.
Thank you for reading my profile, please get in touch if you have any questions.
