I became a childminder back in 2005 when my first son was born. I decided it would be a great job to have whilst caring for my newborn. I went back to full time employment last year when I decided to go back into childcare to fit around both work and home life more efficiently. Being a childminder is both rewarding and something I'm extremely passionate about, especially since I found it difficult leaving my sons with someone I could trust when they were small. Therefore, it's paramount that I provide a great service to both parents and children whilst in my care.
