I am a patient person and have been around children most of my life. My mum has been a registered childminder for over 20 years so I grew up helping her. I have been babysitting since the age of 16. I am now a registered child minder and a mother to a 4 year old boy and 1 year old girl. My home is clean and child friendly with many different toys for the children to play with. I plan a variety of activities that are fun and also help to extend their learning and development. They regularly get to do crafts and messy play. I have a large garden with facilities for children of all ages including swings, see saw and balls. We also visit the local library and playgroups weekly which all my children love going to.
