My Summary

My Experience

Thank you for visiting Trevorgus Childminding, I'm Rickie, a 42-year-old mother of two offering year-round childcare from my home in beautiful St Merryn, Cornwall.

I am an experienced former Primary School Teaching Assistant and I also currently work part-time as a Childcare Practitioner at the Watergate Bay Hotel's wonderful 'Kids Zone' and Beach School. I am returning to childminding again this September - as this is when my youngest is due to start secondary school! Thank you x
