About Me

I am married, 51 years of age and I have two children myself aged 30 and 23 (Sophie being the eldest and Oliver the youngest) and 1 grand-daughter Isla who is 1.

We have two animals, a dog who is a Newfoundland and a cat both of whom are brilliiant with any children.

Nobody in my home smokes so it is a smoke-free environment.

Everybody in my home has an up-to-date DBS Certificate

My Experience

I am a Ofsted Registered Childminder for Bexley with an up to date First Aid Certificate. I have been looking after children from aged 6 months up until Secondary School age for the previous 20 years, therefore I have lots of experience in dealing with children and their individual needs.

I run a very informal household and let the children decide what they want to do and play whilst still maintaining good behaviour, manners and consideration for any other children.

My Qualifications

Bexley EYFS Scheme
First Aid Certificate
Advanced Safeguarding Children Certificate and lots of hands-on experience.

My Availability

I have two vacancies at the moment.

I start at any time from 7.00 am and like to finish by 6.00 pm but I am flexible. I have previous experience of covering shift patterns.
