I have very extensive experience of working with children and youth of all ages, from different countries and cultural backgrounds. I have run after-school clubs for many years, been a school governor for 13 years, a trustee for a children's charity. I am educated at university level. I have had formal pastoral responsibility for children and youth at a professional level for many years. I love storytelling & imaginative play with younger children and teaching crafts to children under 16. I have had two children of my own (now grown up!) and fostered two children. I am first aid trained, have Level 3 Food Hygiene Certificate.
