My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Nicola Crowe and I am registered with the western trust early years team.
I love looking after children. I have been looking after children since I was 17. I was a nanny for local families in Londonderry/Derry for 3 years and I got an opportunity to work in America when I was 20. I took part in the au pair America programme for a year. I worked for an irish family for 6 days a week for 5 children from age range between 1 - 11 yrs of age.
When I came back home I decided to join nanny agencies in London. I worked as a nanny and a cook for upper class families for 9 years. I travelled with the families and provided a high standard service. I moved back home in 2008.
I have worked in the educational sector as a nursery school assistant in Strathfoyle and Lisnagelvin Nursery school each for a year at a time. I decided I wanted to become a registered childminder in my own home and provide an excellent service.
I live In Drumahoe area.
I am out going and easy to get on with. I concentrate and work very hard on each child's development. Any concerns I communicate well with families.

Large enclosed garden with large Wooden Wendy house for the children too enjoy. Mud kitchen and water table for the children.
Flexible start and finish times with transport and car seats available.
I provide lots of fun activities and outings.

I have a clean driving license, I supply suitable car seats 'age perference' to the children. I change the car seats every 3 years to keep up with standards.
I have been childminding for 13.5 years and I thouroughly enjoy it.
