My Summary
About Me
I provide a high-quality childminding service in a safe, secure, and welcoming home-from-home environment. Children benefit from a family setting where I live with my supportive partner, our 13-year-old daughter, 11-year-old son, and our friendly Spaniel x Springador. My setting offers a balance of structured activities, free play, and outdoor experiences, tailored to each child’s individual needs and interests. I am committed to working in partnership with parents, maintaining clear communication, and ensuring each child’s wellbeing, safety, and personal development are always prioritised.
My Experience
I have 17 years of experience working in adult care, supporting vulnerable adults with a wide range of needs. My duties included providing personal care, promoting independence, administering medication, supporting with daily living skills, and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of individuals at all times. I worked closely with families, healthcare professionals, and other services to provide consistent, high-quality care tailored to each person’s needs.
My Qualifications
I bring extensive hands-on experience from raising my own two children, now aged 11 and 13. Through this, I have developed practical skills in supporting children’s learning, encouraging positive behaviour, and creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. My role as a parent has given me real insight into child development, patience, and the importance of building strong, trusting relationships — all of which I now apply to my childminding practice.
