I’ve been in childcare for nine years now, but in some form really, my whole life. Growing up in a large extended family, there was always a baby around, a child who needed entertaining. It felt natural to make that move into an apprenticeship in childcare. I loved my time in daycare where I began, progressing to room leader in the infant room, but becoming a nanny was where I really thrived. I enjoyed nurturing the relationships with my charges and helping their parents wherever and whenever I could. When I became a mother, it gave me a new appreciation of both parenthood and childhood. The worries of leaving your child with another, the importance of this time, the fleeting moments in which childhood rests. I now realise even more so how important having someone you trust is, for both you and your children. I have a six month old and almost-four year old. I'm hoping to find the right family who need a part-time role, who would be happy for me to bring my own children into the fold. Living in Hollywell, 4216.
