After the birth of my eldest daughter in January 1998 I worked as a Registered Childminder for Oxfordshire County Council. I also ran a Nanny Recruitment Agency for two years whilst being a registered CHILDMINDER. In January 2001 I opened my own Children's Day Nursery which I sadly closed in December 2009 due to the recession and a hefty increase in my Business Rates. Ever since then I have been working as a Holiday Lettings Housekeeper/Management Position. Employment/Self employed from 2009 to now A Holidays 2009 for 4 years - 2013 I worked for Anna for just under 4 years on a self employed basis managing holiday homes. My responsibilities were to clean the property, wash the bed linen etc, ironing, providing a Welcome Pack from an Organic company, leaving up to date information of places to visit and eat and sometimes greeting guests. I also would check the properties at each changeover and report back any damage or breakages or any issues noted on the Guest Book. Due to the recession, sadly several of the properties I managed had to be sold hence I was made redundant.
