I'm a Registered Childminder living in Lindsayfield with my husband and our 17 year old son. I aim to provide a fun, safe, nurturing home environment where your child can feel comfortable, confident, relaxed and happy. As a mum, I understand how precious your little one is, and I continually strive to provide the very best standards of care and attention. I love being a childminder, caring for children, supporting their development and giving lots of TLC and individual attention in a nurturing home-from-home environment.

My Experience
I have many years of childcare experience - coming from a large family, this started at an early age! I have been a childminder since 2013 and I previously worked in primary schools and nurseries as School Support.
My Qualifications
I have a BSc (Hons) Psychology degree which, combined with my practical childcare and life experience, has given me a good understanding of child development.
I have been trained in paediatric first aid and child protection/ safeguarding. I regularly update my skills and knowledge through research and attending relevant courses.
