About Me

I am a registered Childminder currently registered with the Southern Trust. I offer a home from home childcare service and provide a wide range of activities to keep your children busy. I am married and have two children. My daughter has Downs Syndrome, so I have hands on special needs training. I operate from 7am until 6pm covering full day childcare and afterschool care. I would consider working outside these hours to facilitate parents who work shifts. My details can also be found on NICMA and Family Support NI websites.

My Experience

I have over 16 years Childcare experience, I started working in Nurseries and gained my Childcare qualifications. I later decided to become a Registered Childminder. This has been one of the best decisions that I have made. I love the flexibility of my hours and days, and caring for all the children in my care.

My Qualifications

I have a NVQ LEVEL 3 in Children's Care Learning and Development.
LEVEL 1 in Makaton
First Aid Trained
Health and Safety Trained
Covid-19 Trained
Safe Guarding Children Trained

I keep my childcare training up to date.

My Availability

I am available Monday to Friday from 7am until 6pm. I would consider working outside these hours to facilitate parents who work shifts. I am currently at capacity. I will update when I have availability. Thank you.
