My Experience
I have been trained as a qualified nurse for people with additional needs but became a childminder when my second child was born so I could look after my children. My children are 27,21 & 20
I am upto date with my first aid, safe guarding and food hygiene courses. I promote healthy eating and will follow any dietary requirements as requested, including any allergens. I have experience of care with lactose & fructose intolerant, milk & Soya allergy(then the milk ladder) so can adjust the diet accordingly. I have a child allergic to latex so I use gloves with no latex and extra vigilant around surroundings when out.
I have experience in catherising a little one in my care, experience of epilepsy through my training as a Special needs nurse. Also I have experience of children on the autistic spectrum.
I am willing to be trained if your little one needs extra care.
I have volunteered at Alder Hey children's hospital in my spare time which was very rewarding, but unfortunately unable to do at the moment due to working full time in the week.
Please just ask if if you require any other information.

Debbie is such a fantastic childcare provider and has been looking after my daughter Ada for 2 years now. After first meeting Debbie i instantly new that the care given would be exceptional. A loving home, fantastic resources and of course the lovely Nova! 🐕
Debbie has always made us feel comfortable and welcome and its as if we are part of the family.

Thank you Leeanne,
I have loved Having Ada, she has made such a lovely friendship group.
it has been such a pity this current situation of COVID-19 has robbed us of our last few months of getting school ready and missed out on the leaving party’s and saying goodbye to her friends. I will organise a meet up with everyone in the summer holidays when we are able to to say goodbye. Xxx
