About me
When I left school I knew working with children was always something I wanted to do. I went straight into completing a level 2 qualification and worked in nurseries and schools. I have years of experience working with children from 0-12 years old and also having children of my own.
I wanted to care for children at home because after having my second child I was due to go back to work I knew it was not something I wanted to do anymore. My goal was to start up as a childminder and work from home helping other parents.
I love how all children are different and they all have their own way of learning and their own personality. They are fun, loving little human beings that make us smile everyday even on the hardest of days when we don’t see it.
I want to be able to give a home from home environment for children whilst their parents are at work, I want them to feel safe and look forward to coming to a setting where they can flourish.
