About Me

Hello I'm Louise! I live in the Bonaly area with my husband and two children, aged 6 and 9. I'm excited to be setting out in my new childminding career from August 2024.

My Experience

I'm a fully qualified teacher with over 14 years experience, mainly in p1-p3 classes. This has provided me with a wealth of experience in supporting children both academically and emotionally. I have decided to change careers to childminding in order to use my skills effectively with a smaller group of children, as well as spend more time with my own family. I will be providing a warm, nurturing and safe home where each child is welcomed and treated as an individual. I can offer varied play activities that respect children's interests and stage of development, as well as planning regular outings in the beautiful area where I live (e.g. Spylaw park, the Pentlands and Dreghorn woods).

My Qualifications

PGDE in Primary Teaching Education, Strathclyde University
MA (hons) in Psychology, Edinburgh University
Paediatric First Aid
Child Protection Training
Food Hygiene
