| I worked as a NHS midwife in London for 13 years, but last year I moved back to my hometown South Shields after bringing up my children in London for 26 years. I'm a mother to daughters aged 26 & 19, sons are now 15 & 17, and I'm a grandmother to 4 little girls aged 1 to 6 so I have a wealth of skills and recent new born and toddler experience. I was a passionate midwife but prefer homebirth and less medical intervention and have taken early retirement due to financial stability as a landlady. I have many hours in the week to spare evenings and weekends. I am offering childcare services now after enjoying not working for the last two years, my children are almost all fleeing the nest and I want to start working towards studying to become a teacher. So please contact me if you are looking for a experience reliable child minder.
