My Summary
About Me
I am an ofstead registered childminder.
I am a mother of two boys, one is 13 years old the second is 4 years old.
With them we enjoy playing games, singing, dancing, painting, making things and being outdoors. We have music on almost all day and do a lot of active play.
My eldest has decided he prefers home education so no longer attends a public school, therefore is home all the time too. We do Pawprint Challenges as part of their education which others are welcome to join in with the activities and earn badges, depending on the child's age and ability.
We do have a small dog, a cat, a tortoise, a crested gecko and some fish in a covered pond in the garden. Our garden is also visited by many wild birds every day.
I have a full driving licence and now own a van.
I now only work part time as I am running Pop up Play village sessions across South Cornwall the other half of the week.

I have worked in schools and day nurseries as a nursery nurse. working with children from 2 months to 6 years. I left work October 2019 to have my youngest.

Up until covid I babysat twice a week for three children, the youngest i have looked after since 2 weeks old. As well as having friends children when required.

I have 3 children (11, 8, 3) Simone has watched my children 2 nights a week for over 5 years. She watched my son from 1 week old. She is a very responsible and reliable person. And I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my kids. The children love her and she always has lots of fun with them. She has done feeds, changes and bed routines. She has a natural ability with children and it shows when she is around them. I feel very confident that my children are safe and well looked after when I leave them with Simone.
