During my career as a teacher, I have worked with children for over thirty years. More recently during the past five years, I have worked for families as an after school/occasional overnight nanny and as a Saturday nanny. I provide age related activities and help with homework. Another aspect of my role is to launder and set out school clothes for the next day, to prepare a meal and follow bedtime routines prior to the parents returning home. I live in Tiverton and have my own transport with a clean driving licence. I hold an enhanced CRB (now DBS) certificate and am First Aid trained.

| When I left secondary school I was sure that I wanted to work with children and threw myself into an apprenticeship which provided me with on the job training whilst completing my level 3 in child care. I have worked in a range of settings over the last 4 years ranging from a charity ran pre school,small nursery and a larger nursery and after school club.
