About Me

I live in Crawley, West Sussex and have worked in social care since completing my degree in 2000. I have worked with lots of different types of people of all ages and in a previous life I taught childcare and health & social care. I am currently working as a manager of a children's home.

With regards to babysitting, I love children and am happy making mud pies or dressing up - whatever their mood takes! I enjoy swimming, reading, cinema, going to the theatre and also trying to be arty and crafty - often failing miserably, but enjoying the process!

Absolutely love dogs but not so good with reptiles and rodents!

My Experience

I was a foster carer and I did this for over 10 years before i decide that i'd like to enter the teaching world

I have worked with children and babies in a variety of different settings - nursery and pre-school, schools and colleges, respite centres, 1:1 tutoring, babysitting and in my current role working in residential care.

There are small children in my extended family, who I spend time with regularly. My godsons are currently 4 years old and 3 months old.

I have taught CACHE accredited babysitting and childcare courses as well as BTEC health & social care
