My Summary

My Experience

I have been a childcare provider for eighteen years and have experience caring for children from birth all the way through to teenagers, and offer a caring, friendly, home-life setting for the children in my care.

I encourage individuality, boosting children’s self esteem, self-image and self-confidence. I encourage social interaction and emotional development.

Activities are suitable for the age and development of every child, which are fun as well as educational. Children are able to choose from a wide and stimulating range of equipment, toys and books that are accessible and invitingly displayed.
