I am a mother to 5 children, I fostered for 5 years prior to adopting 2 half siblings.My adopted children had both suffered traumatic conditions and experiences during their first 2 years of life. These experiences had a major affect on their behaviour and comprehension of the world around them.This brought new challenges for me whilst raising them,I therefore researched and attended many courses to gain a better understanding how to nurture them with the utmost care possible.All my children are now adults and I am extremely proud of the individuals that they have all become. I love cooking, and have over 500 recipes including almost 20 different nationalities, I enjoy art, and have happily assisted my children, and grand children with their creative school activities. I am a strong believer that art and music allows individuals to express their own creativity, and often enhances it. I am now a full time nursery practitioner, caring for children aged from 6 months to 4 years. I love my work,though I do miss being able to give the more personal care to smaller groups due to number of children in my care each day
