I am an English teacher, who has just moved back to the Highlands, after spending the last 6 years teaching Gurkha soldiers in Nepal, and the UK. I have previously worked as a private foster carer for single personnel in the forces. I have cared for children of all age ranges, particularly toddlers. As a private fosterer (up to 6 months) my duties included personal care, private tutoring, meal preparation, washing ironing and encouraging activity participation for development.
