Childminder in Highbury

My Summary
About Me
I am a childminder in Highbury , Finsbury and upper street area ,with 30 years experience. As you can imagine, I have worked in many different situations over that time and have extensive experience of caring for a wide range of children and families. I have worked with special needs children including medical special needs,babies and twins.
The main thing I can offer a family is a huge wealth of knowledge, experience and care. I feel that being a childminder is more of a vocation rather than just a job.I have two grown up children of my own and a grand-daughter, so I fully appreciate the importance of finding the right childcare. I believe that childminders should work with the family to provide the type of care that they want for their child(
My Experience
I started my working life as a nanny when my children were very young. It gave me the flexibility that you need with a young family and I love working with children. The first family I started working for, initially had two children, they ended up having 6! I worked for them for 5 years.
My next position was with a child who was hard of hearing. I was bought in because I am able to use British Sign Language and Mackaton. As my time with them progressed, it was discovered that the child had other medical issues, so I trained at the hospital to assist in feeding him and his general ongoing care. The parents then had twins, so I cared for the twins as well as the little boy. I worked with that family for 6 years. I am still in touch with the family to this day.
Over the years I have worked in every nanny and childminder situation position and have learnt from every child and every family. I have had many roles, which would be too extensive to list here, so a full CV can be provided on request.

Janet took care of our son from 6 months to almost 3 years old for 5 days a week and I don't know what we would have done without her. My husband and I are not from London and the level of support Janet provided was really unprecedented and lovely.
My son truly blossomed under her care, hit all his milestones and ate nutritious meals everyday. She provided a range of activities including soft play, singing groups, and outdoor time. Everything was detailed in the Daily Diaries offering complete insight into his day including napping schedule, feedings and other daily occurrences, which we now have as lovely memories.
We always had continuous and open communication with Janet regarding my sons progress and overall wellbeing and were promptly notified when he was ill and always had complete confidence in Janet's ability to administer first aid/medicine should the occasion arise.
My son is now a thriving 4 year old boy and we are so thankful for the impact that Janet had on his life.

Janet has been looking After my first girl since she was not even 6 months until we moved out of London when she turned 3. I have no words to tell how reliable, knowledgeable, caring she's been. My girl was just the happiest in the World with her, we Never had cries, her home was a Real Shelter to her. Good manners, healthy food and lots of fun, Janet's gang is just the greatest! Thank you Janet for all your love. We miss you so much.

We decided to send our son to a childminder after the first lockdown rather than back to nursery and selected Janet after interviewing three potential childminders. We are so glad we did! Janet has been amazing with our son over the last 9 months and made us feel at ease with her care throughout the pandemic. I was also pregnant with our second child and with the lack of family support it was a particularly difficult time for us. Janet really stepped up to help and had our son for extra days at short notice when I was struggling and even had him for longer while I was in the hospital having a c-section! The flexibility was amazing and I'm not sure what we'd have done without her. Compared to nursery, there have been no inset days, no early closures, and amazingly we haven't been phoned once to pick him up early because of suspected illness. All of these things were a regular occurrence at the nursery. Our son has been with Janet for 9 months now and we are really sad to be losing her but we are moving out of London. If you are looking for a childminder then look no further!

She is amazing with both my girls. As you know finding the right person to care for your children gives you such relief and I am happy I have that with Janet. She understands the feelings parent experience during the early stages and tries her best to alleviate those anxieties by communicating very well with the parents.

Janet has been taking care of my son since he was 3 months and he is 2 years old. She is like family to us and even more to my son. We are heart broken to leave her. My son adores her and so do I.
She is not just looking after your kid. She really cares about the child she looks after. She is very dynamic and entertains them all the time with lots of activities, outdoor, playgroups, musics, dance and more. At home she does, painting, read books, collage...He has a lovely outdoor space as well for them to play. She has been amazing giving my son his routine in the beginning. She always have good advise when you struggle with your child wether it is health or behaviour. She cooks really well fresh food. Her house is extremely clean and well tidy. She gives them a good education too in how to behave and respect other people. She is extremely reliable, very organised, very positive. I am working full time and she has been a life saver.
I warmly recommand Janet, you can trust her your eyes closed. She really is the best !!!!

We cannot say enough about Janet and we highly highly highly recommend her to any family. Our son went to Janet from 10 months old and he absolutely loved her. We watched him blossom into a happy, social, confident little boy. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, super organised and cares for the children as her own. She is also a great comminicator keeping us daily updates (both written & verbal) about what he did & ate. She was also fantastic helping to manage my son's multiple food allergies. We moved when our son turned 2 and we were devastated to leave (we still have not managed to find a childminder to Janet's standard!!!!)

Janet was our girl's childminder from 10 months to just over 2 years. She LOVED Janet and would often ask to see her on weekends! She really developed over her time with Janet into a happy confident social little girl. We were really happy and comfortable to be sending her to Janet. She had lots of outdoor time which she loved. She also ate really well. Janet provided balances and healthy meals and this helped her develop her love of vegetables and fruit. I really can't say enough good things to recommend Janet. I wish we were still in the area to send our new baby to her!

Janet has looked after my son Pablo for the last 10 months, since he was 6 months old. Sadly we are moving away and we will be lost without her. She has been more than a childminder, not only looking after Pablo but supporting us through his infancy, with her wealth of experience and knowledge, which has been invaluable as a first time Mum!
Janet takes Pablo to lots of different playgroups, music, soft play, parks, farms... the activities are endless. She cooks from fresh everyday and was so helpful and reassuring during quite a tricky weaning process. When Pablo has been sick, Janet has been able to identify and advise us on what was wrong. And most importantly Pablo is so happy to see her every morning. We fully trust Janet and she has provided such great care for Pablo. She has our highest recommendation.
