My Summary
About Me
Hello! My name is Theodora, and I’m a passionate and caring childminder originally from Togo. I’ve always loved working with children and find so much joy in watching them learn, grow, and express themselves.
I have a creative spirit and love bringing art, crafts, and imaginative play into daily activities. It’s a great way for children to explore and develop their talents. I also enjoy cooking, and I often involve children (in age-appropriate ways!) in fun, safe kitchen experiences that teach practical skills and healthy habits.
Family is very important to me, and I aim to create a warm, welcoming, and home-like environment where every child feels safe, valued, and loved.
Whether we’re doing messy play, story time, or just having fun in the garden, I strive to make every day engaging and full of learning opportunities.
My Experience
I have over 5 years of professional childcare experience across a variety of settings. I worked as a Childminding Assistant for 2 years, supporting day-to-day activities and ensuring a safe, nurturing environment for children of different ages. Before that, I spent 2 years as a Maternity Support Worker with the NHS, where I provided care and support for newborns and their families. I also have 1 year of experience working in a nursery, supporting children’s learning and development through play-based and structured activities. In addition to my professional roles, I have hands-on experience caring for my younger siblings, which has helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and understanding of children’s needs.
