My journey as a childminder began at 15, when I took on a caring role for my baby brother. Trusted by my mother from the very beginning, this responsibility gave me a strong sense of purpose and a passion for supporting children’s growth and well-being. This experience naturally extended when my aunt hired me to care for her four children, aged 4 to 10, for a year. My role included preparing nutritious meals, school runs via public transport, and creating a warm, engaging after-school environment. With four years of professional experience working with children and young people as a youth worker and mentor in Wandsworth, I’ve developed exceptional communication skills and the ability to connect with various personalities. Safeguarding is always my top priority, and I combine empathy, kindness, and a calm approach to ensure children feel safe and supported in my care. I enjoy cooking healthy meals, keeping tidy spaces, and sharing my love for music to create fun and enriching experiences for the children I care for.
