Iv been delighted to work with and stay in touch as friends as this also gives storability to the children. This is why it’s important to me that the children I look after feel at home and comfortable with me as if they were with their parents or family members. I also have a 3yr old Miniature Dachshund who has been brought up with all the children in the setting and is loved by all. He is also very well behaved and house trained and adores the children.
As this will help them to enjoy each day to be creative while absorbing what life has to offer with each other while learning through play. Im a family style cook and enjoy cooking as well enjoying swimming, walking, reading, music, socialising with family and friends. I'm loyal,trustworthy and a happy personality.
