My Summary
About Me
I am a 59 year old lady who has three grown up children of my own and ten young grandchildren whom I adore and spend a lot of time with them, ( including 2 year old twins )either with their parents or at my house. When I am not doing activities with them I spend time in the gym keeping fit, love the classes and do at least four or five a week plus gym training.
I also love to extend my knowledge and do as many on line training courses as I can to ensure I keep up to date on my career.
I have just completed the SEN Level 3 course , main interest in this was because I have grandchildren with ASD, and special Educational needs so wanted a better understanding in this area, as more children are needing support and understanding.
Travel is also a passion and have travelled all over the world and still adding places to my extensive list.
My Experience
I worked for the Government for 18 years and some time spent with youth offenders. I trained as a foster carer as have always loved being around young people and find that whenever I have been out on a social event I end up entertaining the little ones. I have also worked in Children's care homes with looked after children and found this both challenging and rewarding , as a support worker I oversaw the normal day to day routine as I slept in for a few nights a week , so ensured breakfast, uniforms, homework , evening meals , laundry etc was completed, and social worker reports where kept up to date.i also attended and took part in outside the home activities either on a one to one basis or group trip. All this and prior to my children growing up was a registered childminder. I have an NVQ 2 in diversity and equality, certificates in safeguarding and a number of training courses completed during the fostering process, and whilst working in the children's homes including medication training etc. I am hard working and love being around young people and enjoy activities including messy play , arts and crafts and anything that is educational and helps promote a safe and happy time for each child in my care .

Thank you so much for your review really appreciate it, and looking after K for the day was an absolute pleasure and was also fabulous that I got to meet A for a short while and he accepted me being there as he wasn’t expecting me . Look forward to meeting you all again in the future , for activities in or out of the home with you.
Loraine looked after my 7 month old at short notice. Reliable, friendly and clearly very experienced with children of all ages. My little boy took to her right away. Would definitely recommend!
