My Summary
About Me
Hello there, I'm a mummy myself and I know that it is very important to parents to know as much as they can about the person that could be looking after our little monkeys, so here is a little summary:
I live with my husband Billy, my 12 yr old son Finlay and our daughter Molly who is 8yrs old.
We have a dog called Willow. She is a Show Type Cocker spaniel and is currently 4yrs old.
Very loving and great with the children.
We moved to Borough Green in December 2015
I have previously been a nursery teacher. I have 16 years experience working with little ones and been a childminder for nearly 14 years.
I enjoy activities including Montessori activities, jolly phonics and story telling.
I enjoy the creative side to my job and I love to make things with the children. It's just a joy to see children's faces light up with pride.
I love singing and dancing and I also share this passion with the children I would be caring for. I love having music sessions that the children love and they enjoy being musical.
We sing, we dance and we tap to the beat and above all we have fun!!
I have a good knowledge of special dietary requirements for children with allergies.
We take many trips out to the zoo, the beach and to the museum, we also take local daily trips to the library, parks and play groups
A bit about me personally..... I loved teaching and when it come to an end I was very sad but my partner and I needed to move for family commitments, then I became a nanny.
When I worked as a nanny it was for two lovely families in a nanny share arrangement for a 7 month old and two children who where 2&3yrs.
I then became pregnant myself and now I have a beautiful boy of my own called Finlay who is 14 and now Molly who is now 10
My youngest attends Platt Primary so care for children would preferably work around school run for Molly.
Please do take a look at my reviews from some lovely parents I have had the pleasure to meet and I'm sure they wouldn't mind being a reference for me if you would like to find out more about myself and my family.
I hope this helps you get to know me a little better

I was lucky enough to meet Gina at a local Toddler Group and got to see how amazing she was with the kids in her care. I was so happy that she had availability for my son who started at 10 months old and we haven't looked back! He is about to start school and has had an amazing time - over 4 years!!! - of being loved, encouraged, entertained and nurtured by Gina. She is a ray of sunshine and enthusiasm who really takes the time to get to know the children in her care. My son has benefited from so many wonderful experiences from regular play groups, a huge range of indoor activities and outdoor excursions as well a special days out to farms or soft plays. He has also made amazing friends with the other children who Gina looks after and all of this has helped to grow him into the joyful, enthusiastic, chatty confident child he is now. If you want your child to go to a home from home, with someone who cares for them and values them as an individual as much as you do, Gina is the one for you. I could not recommend her enough!!

I wish Bryn all the best for his bright future and he has the BEST first day at big school. I will
miss him immensely ❤️
Gina looked after my son from 1 years old up until starting school and we both agree that she is amazing. He was always kept busy and entertained with playgroups, outings and activities. He formed special bonds with Gina, her family and the other children in her care. Gina is one in a million and we are so happy to have found her.

After caring for both my children our time came to an end after nearly 7 years of having Gina! We honestly hit the jackpot with her and could not have of asked for anyone better to care for the most precious things in our life!! Both boys had the best time when attending and was always up to something and learning new things, some people are in a job for money Gina is pure and truly amazing and you can tell she adores her job! Gina is like family to us and we are so sad our time has come to an end! We owe her everything and wish her nothing but happiness!xx
