About Me

I am a reliable and caring childminder with several years of experience providing childcare for children of various ages, from toddlers to school-age children. I am confident managing routines, supporting play and development, and creating a safe, calm and positive environment. I also have some experience supporting teenagers with additional needs, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience and a thoughtful approach to care. I am primarily available for afternoon childcare but am flexible and open to discussing other arrangements where possible. I am organised, dependable and committed to providing high-quality care that families can trust.

My Experience

First Aid Experience

I have extensive first aid experience gained through long-term lifeguard training and practice. I began structured lifeguarding training at a young age and continued for a number of years, developing strong confidence in first aid response, emergency awareness and child safety. While my formal certification is no longer current, I remain knowledgeable, calm and capable in first aid situations.

Special Needs Experience

I have some experience supporting a teenager with Down syndrome in a childcare setting. This involved supervision, companionship, and providing a calm, supportive presence. While my experience is limited, it helped me develop patience, understanding and confidence in supporting children with additional needs.

Experience with Children Under 2 Years

Yes. I have experience caring for babies from approximately 6 months of age through to toddler stage. My experience includes feeding, nappy changes, settling routines, supervising naps, and providing safe, attentive care appropriate to each stage of development.
