My Summary
About Me
I Live with my husband and children. At home I have three boys age 25, 21 and 18. I am also a proud nanny of two beautiful twin girls who are 8 years old. We have friendly pets and a large garden. I have dedicated a play room for childminding. I aspire to be the a step between a home setting and a nursery. We have lots of outings and are often out and about in the local community. I like to work with parents and children to ensure I am meeting the individual needs of each child and their family.
My Experience
I have over 25 years experience with children working in nurseries and plenty of my experience from my own children too
My Qualifications
I am qualified to degree level holding a foundation degree in children and young people's practice. I also hold a level 2 & 3 in childcare. I have studied at the university of Gloucester and hold an early childhood studies level 6, which is degree level. I am fully Ofsted registered and insured. I hold a full peadiatric first aid certificate, myself, my husband and son all hold DBS checks and update myself regularly with relevant ongoing training
My Availability
I work from 7.30am until 5.00pm but am flexible so please enquire for anything out of these hours and I will try to accommodate your needs. I offer term time only contracts and in addition offer adhoc hours to cover school holidays making it almost all year round.
