I qualified as a nursery nurse back in 1993 and worked in nursery schools and family centres for 4 years. Becoming a parent myself I began childminding for 3 years before returning to university. Following a long break from childcare (whislt working for the Past 13 years as a Palliaitve nurse consultant ) I have returned to childcare working as a part- time art teacher. Teaching children ageing from 2-13 years. I am also developing my own business in visual arts at this time.
