My Summary
About Me
I am a mother of 2 daughters and a son. They are all working in medical fields.
I have 2 grandchildren. My granddaughter has just graduated with a first class honours degree in oncology and radiotherapy. My grandson is studying for a Degree in Social work.
I qualified as a State Registered Nurse in 1973 at Royal Hampshire County Hospital and went on to work at Royal South Hants until 1985.
I took a career change and worked for Hampshire County Council/ Southampton city council as a Social service officer. The councils seconded me in 1987 to study for my qualification in Social Work (CQSW)
I was then employed full time as a specialist housing officer and also worked alternate weekends as a Responding Support Officer. Dealing with medical and socialemergencies in Southampton.
On retirement I started breeding British shorthair pedigree cats.
I have 2 very old rescue dogs and 4 cats.
My garden is huge and I have a sun cabin and play area!
I believe in creative play and stretching childrens imagination and integrity.

Lindsay is always here on time and is very reliable. She very quickly gained our son’s trust, so that is was very easy for us to leave him with her and it’s been great to listen to them playing and singing! She brings age-appropriate toys and things to play with with him that he absolutely loves.

Lindsay was helping babysit my almost 4 year old boy during the summer. I work from home so just needed someone to play with him while I worked in the mornings. Lindsay did a phenomenal job - he absolutely loved every minute with her. And they didn't just play - she unleashed his creative side. They did arts and crafts together, a daily diary, even built a double story car garage out of boxes. I very rarely heard him getting frustrated as he often did with other babysitters, and on the occasion that he did she handled it like a champion. He learnt a lot from her, and had loads of fun. She really has a way with kids and I highly recommend her!
