About Me
*RARE AVAILABILITY FROM JANUARY 2025*
Disclaimer- Please be advised I have a large female dog on my premises (Rottweiler) therefore please do not enquire if you/your child (ren) are not comfortable with dogs. We have had Ruby from a puppy and she is a huge part of our family. Rottweilers are a very protective family breed who are amazing with children. I have very specific safety measures in place to make sure that children in my care can experience looking after animals in a safe environment.
The benefits of having a dog around children have been proven to be very beneficial. It helps with their development and understanding of individual animal needs. Learning about respect and boundaries. In my home I teach children from a young age on the safety of approaching dogs and caring for them.
Hi I am Jessica. I am 31 years old. I currently live with my husband and our three boys aged 9, 6 and 2 years of age. I have many years experience of looking after children and would be more than happy to answer any questions. I have a EYFS diploma and paediatric first aid training. Level 3 safeguarding training. Being a mother myself I understand how important it is to feel secure and safe leaving your child(ren) with others. Therefore I would like to offer my like home to home services. I offer a spacious home with a fenced off garden that has a play house, mud kitchen, sand play and ride on toys. In our household we enjoy the outdoors therefore I have an area for growing our own vegetables/ fruit and plants. I provide a smoke free home with a safe garden. I offer a large range of activities for all young children including most outdoor activities daily (weather permitting). We are a very active household and my own children enjoy being outside which is where children in my care will spend most of their time. I currently attend 3-4 baby groups a week. Lots of play outdoor parks and exploring. Having my own vehicle I am able to take little ones to lots of different locations which is great for their development. I am very passionate about limiting screen time and using more engaging activities such as arts and crafts, role play, messy play. We have a large dog in our home called Ruby who has been brought up with all our children from a puppy. Safety measures are in place for those that wish to discuss any concerns. Thank you for looking at my profile.
