My Summary
About Me
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always wanted to become a childminder. I studied child development for my GCSE’s and went onto college to complete my level 2 in childcare and education.
I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, going for walks in the woods and snuggling up with a good movie.
I love to bake, my grandma left me her cookbook when she passed, and I use it every week! Our favourite meal is ‘Grandma’s Quiche.’
My husband is called Jim (James) and works full time as a tree surgeon. We have two daughters together – Hannah is 17 and Ivy is 8.
My In-Laws, Kev and Sue, moved in with us 2 years ago. They have their own living room separate from the rest of the house. However, we spend lots of family time together!
My Experience
I took a break to raise my eldest daughter, until she turned 3yrs old, then started volunteering at her preschool. I was offered a job as a relief worker that progressed to a permanent full-time employee. I stayed there for 7 years until my youngest daughter was born and took a year off to spend time with her and watch her grow.
When I returned to work, I spent 3 years in a retail store and was promoted twice in my first 6 months. I was the first supervisor to be invited to an Area Manager’s Meeting to teach everyone how to use the new online recruiting software.
Soon my feet were itching to get back to my childcare roots and I took a position in a local nursery.
Once Jim and I found the perfect house to buy, I laid down my plan for childminding. And here we are today!
