My Summary
About Me
I am a qualified playworker (SVQ3 Children and Young People), with over 8 years experience working as a practitioner/manager in afterschool clubs in Edinburgh. I am registered with SSSC as a practitioner, currently waiting for my childminder registration. I hold a PVG and a recent Pediatric First aid certificate of training.
I am looking to build a small group (4-5 children), of primary school age, providing pickups from Davidson's Mains Primary School. I am a former member of staff of D.Mains afterschool club that shut down and have several references from local families.
My Experience
I have been working as a playworker for over 8 years and for 1.5 years I was a manager of an afterschool club in the Clermiston area with over 50 registered children. I have excellent refferences from families and previous employers and I have helped lots of young people be the best they can, building trusting and honest relationships and providing child-centered care and child-led play.

My Fees
- Babysitting from £15.00 per hour
- Childminding from £5.00 per hour
As I do not provide a full, high standard childminding service yet, my rates are
£17 per child per session (3h)
£30 per session for siblings
Craft activities provided (crochet, knitting, cross-stitching, paper crafts etc, depending on children's interests)
Outdoor resources provided for park visits (my famous hammocks, balls, skipping ropes, microscopes etc)
I intend to keep my fees low for children who join our group before my full service is set up.
