I have worked in Family Day Care , In Home Child Care and as a Private Nanny for the past 22 years. Over this time I have worked with many different families for many different reasons eg children with special needs, parents with special needs, multiple births, FIFO families & shift workers. I have also worked with newborns up to teenagers and am comfortable with multiple children. I try to be as flexible as possible with work times bearing in mind I usually work for more than one family. I have great pleasure in watching children grow and develop as well as a sense of pride in the part that I play, small or large, in creating some very happy childhood memories and experiences. I like to offer children a range of activities to help promote development across all areas and to keep them entertained without the use of electronic devices eg music, craft, reading, games, puzzles, role play, imaginative play, cooking, outdoor experiences & excursions. I am a non-smoker and am comfortable with pets. I have a 20 year old son and 17 year old daughter of my own. Please get in touch if you think I might be a good fit for your family. I am happy to work short term, long term or on an ad-hoc basis.
