My Summary
About Me
I am an honest, reliable and trustworthy mother of two girls, with a very caring nature. I provide quality childcare in my own home and make use of the local resources available to me. I am committed to continuing professional development and strive to form life long relationships with the families that I work with.
I chose to become a childminder because I wanted to nourish my own daughters and spend as much time as possible with them but also wanted to continue providing care and support for other people. I really enjoy working with children and get a lot of satisfaction from their smiles as they develop their skills and learning.
My Experience
I have been a registered childminder for just over 9 years now. Before my eldest daughter was born I was employed supporting adults with learning difficulties for five years and I have also work in various playschemes and youth groups through out North Ayrshire and was previously a Police Cadet. I also have experience in working with newborn babies and children with additional support needs. I have a good sound knowledge of SSSC codes of practice, pre birth -three and the curriculum for excellence as well as the national care standards and Scottish statutory instruments. I keep abreast of new polices and best practice and attend regular training courses. I also run a very successful Peep group in the local library which is attended by many children from new born - 5 years with their families.
