My Summary
About Me
FULL/PART TIME VACANCIES AVAILABLE. I currently have spaces available from September 2024. Please feel feee to enquire about new starter and sibling discounts.
My name is Michelle, an Early Years Child Practitioner and i live with my 2 children in Shirley. It is my aim to offer a welcoming and loving home for children of all ages. I can offer activities, toys, games etc. I have a playroom in my home that can provide educational needs to children of all ages. I can help to support school age children with homework and reading and young children with all the 'milestones' that they may face. I enjoy trips and days out with the children and find they can learn so much from these experiences. I am a non smoker who enjoys walking and keeping fit. I try to incorporate these activities with my minded children as i strongly believe that children that are healthy are also happy.

I would love to recommend Michelle as a childminder. She has minded two of my children and I never regretted that decision. She was kind, loyal, loving and fun. I am currently looking for Childcare but I have moved out of the area and I am gutted that I cannot use the services of Michelle. I know that anyone who uses Michelle will not regret it and will instantly feel at ease with her caring nature and wonderful family. We found her to be reliable, trustworthy and would go beyond the call of duty on many occasions.

Would really recommend Michelle as a child minder. I have used Michelle's services before and I was impressed with the service that she provided. My eldest daughter settled in with her straight away and she made me feel so comfortable, that I had no worries about leaving her in Michelle's care. I believe that Michelle often went above and beyond the call of duty. She helped me with my daughter who I was struggling to potty train and she always listened to my concerns even when I panicked as a new mother. I believe that any child in her care is a very lucky one!
