My Summary
About Me
I am a newly registered childminder with the Care Inspectorate.
I have gained experience over the past 6 years through my own children and in a variety of settings including schools and nurseries.
I live in the Clermiston Area where we are spoilt for green space. I live with my husband and my 3 children aged 6, 5 and 2. My husband works in the care industry in the private sector. My eldest son participates in Judo and rugby which he attends weekly. My daughter is a big fan of gymnastics and being creative. My youngest boy is very outdoorsy and loves a muddy puddle.
I would consider myself to be a friendly and polite individual who is passionate about providing a nurturing environment for children. I am an outgoing individual, who strives to give children the best experiences possible.
Activities we like to do, involve going exploring in the forest. Visiting playgrounds in Davidson Mains, Costorphine and Clermiston area. At home we like to use the swing and slide set in our garden, play with water tables, messy play and crafts. We are also members of the Zoo and aim to visit at least once a month. We visit local libraries and local play cafes for rainy days.
I am available for school pick ups from Clermiston Primary School.
My Experience
Although I have gained most of my experience over the past 7 years. I come from a large family and have 15 years experience caring for my nieces and nephews in their parents absence, helping when I can.
I have a certificate in Forest Kindergarten and enjoy sharing the benefits of the outdoors with the children I care for.
Whilst on Maternity Leave I studied my HNC in Childhood Practice. This experience taught me about child development in the Early Years, theoretical approaches and legislation in safeguarding children. I learned about strategies that underpin legislation such GIRFEC as an approach to protecting children’s well-being.
Having previously worked in school nurseries as an Early Years Assistant, I have worked with children with additional needs and have experience supporting children with their transitions into P1 and P2.
I recently completed a Paediatric First Aid course.
