About Me

I have loved my career in childcare over the last 20 years, working as a Nanny, in nurseries and also as a T.A in a school. I have now decided to take the leap into becoming a childminder. My Husband and I have a 7 year old who is looking forward to welcoming children into our home too. As a Mum, I have learnt a lot about learning through play in my own home, and would enjoy giving children a home from home experience.
I have found a love of nature since moving to Bean. I enjoying gardening, trips out and local walks. I love reading too. These passions, I plan too incorporate in my setting.

My Experience

Overall I have almost 20 years experience in childcare, covering school nurseries, Montessori nurseries, a Nanny for many of those years. Most recently I have been a T.A for early years and years 1+2 in a private school.
I have two reference from my previous employers-
"Sam had been a nanny to my 4 year old son and 7 year old daughter for almost 3 years. Both children absolutely adore her as she is kind, caring, patient and lots of fun! She goes out of her way to make sure the kids enjoy their days with her, planning out loads of exciting and interesting things to do. Sam also takes time to develop their education through fun learning activities. I would highly recommend Sam to any parent looking for a dependable, trustworthy, experienced childminder for their children. We most certainly struck gold finding Sam!"

and

"Samantha was our nanny for 2 years. Samantha is a wonderful nanny, my daughters adore her. She is very patient, caring and has a very calming nature which is a fantastic influence on the girls. Sam plays and encourages lots of educational activities. She has an amazing way with children which is very natural. My daughters are so happy which is all we as parents could wish for. "
