My Summary
About Me
I live in Cowes and have 2 children. I am a qualified teacher and believe in learning through lots of play. I love Lego, sailing and generally being outside.
My Experience
I am a qualified primary teacher and have been teaching in various primary schools for 20yrs. I worked in a preschool with 2-4yr olds for nearly 4yrs. This is a very rewarding job, observing and playing with children to progress their skills in exploring the world around them. With younger children I love using sign language through songs and nursery rhymes, this is a great skill for them to learn and for children with communication difficulties it can be an insight into their understanding. I have babysat for many families from a few months old to teenagers, some families I have babysat for a few years and seen the children grow. I enjoy playing quiet games before bed and then reading stories to help settle them. I have taught all years in a primary school and currently I teach Year 6. I am usually available for any adhoc or regular babysitting in the evenings or weekends. Summer 2024 I am away 30th July to 7th August.

Thank you Penny for looking after both mine and my friends children this weekend. The children all loved you and we were all so grateful for the extra night you were able to do for us at short notice. I would recommend Penny in a heartbeat. Great with children, very punctual and all round someone you can trust.
