About Me

I am 59 years old and a non-smoker.

I have 40+ years extensive life experience in child care, from birth upwards and I have a natural rapport & affinity with children whereby I happily care for them on 'their level'. My experience has ranged from being a Childminder, Babysitter, in a Nursery Environment, Creche Assistant, Playgroup, Family Assistant, Mothers Help and Baby Assistant

I am easy-going, friendly, approachable, reliable and responsible with a caring nature, good sense of humour & very much a 'what-you-see-is-what-you-get' person. I now find time on my hands and wish to get back to working in a field I love, babies and child care.

My Experience

Under 5's are my forte! I have cared for children from Mum being pregnant, to birth upwards, but have more extensive experience with the younger child

My Qualifications

I do not have formal qualifications but life, hands on experience.
I am £8 an hour - plus any taxi fares incurred if further from Chantry

My Availability

I do not drive so looking for as near as possible to Chantry - or an additional £10 to cover taxi fares.
Cannot take/collect from school.
Under 5's only
I am NOT eligible for FUNDING PAYMENTS

My Fees

  • Babysitting from £10.00 per hour

Although no longer a Registered Childminder, I have been in the past and can guarantee that you will not find a better carer for your baby .. it is about the care, not the money, so fees are negotiable (site does not allow me to state lower)
