About Me
I am a registered childminder providing high-quality wraparound care in a safe and supportive home environment. My primary focus is on ensuring a smooth and enjoyable transition between home and school during term time, with additional babysitting services available during public and school holidays.
With my own children ranging from a baby boy, a 3 year old girl and two pre-teen step-daughters, I have direct experience caring for a broad spectrum of ages and am confident in adapting my care to meet each child’s individual needs. My setting provides edicated quiet time to help children relax and decompress after school, alongside offering bilingual care in English and Spanish for a rich cultural and linguistic experience.
My current drop-off and pick-up service is for **Hare Street School**. I am happy to discuss drop-off and pick-up at other local schools to find a routine that works for your family.

My Experience
As a parent myself, I bring a wealth of practical, hands-on experience to my care. I have lovingly raised my own two children and two step-daughters, giving me a complete understanding of different developmental stages—from the early years right through to the pre-teen years. In addition to my family experience, I have spent several years providing trusted and flexible babysitting for other families in our community.
