My Summary
About Me
I’m a new granny to lovely 10 month old girl who we look after as Mum prepares to return to work. My husband and I both retired early from teaching and are missing contact with a range of youngsters. We moved to Truro in September ‘23 to be closer to our family and help with our grandaughter. We live near to Treliske hospital and understand the pressures of work life balance particularly to those in NHS/hospital/social care environment. When our son was growing up we always had a range of people close by to call on for childcare but understand that not everyone is that lucky. We like the Cornish way of life and love the proximity to great beaches and walks. We value our environment and are very proactive in recycling and reusing. We help at a local repair cafe to give back to the community and in our previous location I volunteered at the local food waste cafe. Food is a big part of my life, I cook everyday using fresh ingredients and like to encourage children to try new foods. Happy to teach age appropriate cooking skills or with older children to support any DofE cooking skills activities. Always had a DBS check but not since I retired 2 years ago.
My Experience
I trained as a Home Economics teacher (Food, Textiles and Child Development). I initially taught Food, Textiles and Child Development. I have worked with kids all my life, firstly in a boarding school teaching during the day and looking after girls aged 11 to 16 24/7. I have worked in both MLD and mainstream secondary schools teaching Food Technology and specialising in pastoral care. As a Head of Year I was responsible for the pastoral welfare and academic achievement of all children in my year group of between 120 and 130 students. We have also run many school ski trips so you can see that I am very used to wrap around care settings. Now I’m back looking after the younger generation again, with my little grandaughter in my free time.
