Childminder in Shortstown
My Summary
About Me
Hi. I am a registered Childminder in New Cardington, Bedford. I have 2 children. I was a Catering Manager for over 18 years. I decided after thought and life experiences that I wanted to change my carer to do something I really want to do. My partner and I decided to foster as we were told it may not be possible to have our own child. We were completing the fostering process and we were also waiting to start IVF treatment at the time. While we were on the practical 3 day fostering course I did not realise I was pregnant and then 4.5 yrs after my son arrived! Years on and I am now a busy setting working alongside my partner.
