I have been a registered childminder since September 2010 and I joined the Merthyr Tydfil Children Come First Network in January 2011.
I love working with children and love the sense of reward I get knowing that the children I care for are happy and having fun as well as learning new skills.
I have a 2 year old daughter who loves having other children here for her to play with. She has taken to the childminding very well and is very helpful when I care for younger children.
Not only did I start childminding because of my desire to work with children but also to help parents like myself get back into work, hence why I can work 7 days a week from 06:00 until 21:00 including bank holidays.
I am registered with the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales and am a member of the National Childminding Association. I am fully CRB checked and am first aid trained. I also hold Level 2 and Level 3 in Food Safety.
I have recently started doing my Level 3 Diploma in Children's Care, Learning and Development.
