Sharon
Childminder in Doncaster (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
Registered Childminder
About Me
Hi, My name is Sharon. I am an Ofsted registered childminder currently with summer holiday vacancies for children of 5 years & over.
I have been Childminding since 2012 following a long Nursing career. I live with my partner of 23 years and our 2 dogs, 3 cats on Thorne Road. I have one daughter and 2 grown up grandchildren. I have lived in Doncaster for 24 years and in my semi detached house for 20 years.
I consider myself to be a caring, amiable & approachable person with a good sense of humour, bags of patience, an honest disposition, trustworthy, extremely reliable with a well honed sense of fairness.
Most of the children that have come through my setting have been long term. I have had the privilege of watching them grow into well adjusted, caring individuals ready for Secondary school. My time with them is best described as that of an extended family member ie grandmother.
We learn, play, laugh together while learning all the while.
Each child will be supported as an individual and given loving care & encouragement to achieve their best.
I have a dedicated playroom housing several activities such as board games, crafting, reading, colouring and drawing, where we just relax together plus an enclosed front & back garden.
All my resources will be rotated to ensure your child/ren's interest and I will buy new resources to help with their development.
I am lucky enough to be well situated on a main Doncaster road with 3 parks close by and on a main bus route.
