About Me

I'm 47 & have 2 grown up children (20&24) who have been brought up around the little ones I've cared for. Hubby is a high school teacher & we have a cat. We love being outside including the beach, parks & forest walks. We also visit softplays, museums & playgroups. We are part of a small network of childminders who we see regularly so the children become familiar & comfortable when in a bigger group, as well as when just out & about or at home with me. We love music so include lots of singing, playing & listening to lots of different styles. In my spare time I'm currently learning to play the cello & enjoy walking my friends dog! We enjoy visiting new places both aboard & locally, in our camper van.

My Experience
