I am 41 and have spent 20 years dedicated to nurturing my 5 children, the youngest is now in year 1 at school. I love cooking arts and craft and love to watch children learn through play and trips here there and everywhere. I am keen to keep structure at home which means after school is homework and reading club at our table where we all join in and learn different subjects followed by a cooking lesson in which the children help most days. My 5 children are 20, 18, 9, 8 and 5 and 14 niece's and nephew's which i have helped with over the years. I have no professional qualifications in childcare, I have 12 gcse grades b to d Art Drama History French Textiles English lan and lit Maths Double Science Pe and Re and a distinction in gnvq art and design. I have held a first aider card in the past and am looking to renew this. I have been DBS checked for my childrens primary school to enable me to help there and that is still in date and will be renewed in April.
