I have raised 2 children of my own .Children who never cease to amaze me with their vivid imagination and unique perceptions of the world. As a hobby I write creatively, mostly keen on childrens stories. I enjoy encouraging expressive art and exploring the natural world. I am a big fan of Harry Potter, Paddington and Guardians of the Galaxy. I trained as a nurse and have experience of looking after children troubled by medical, surgical, behavioural, learning and psychological difficulties. I have looked after children with Asperger's, severe allergies, food intolerances, insulin dependant diabetes, heart defects, asthma etc as well as children with life-threatening illnesses and events such as meningitis, acute appendicitis and trauma. I have experience of tracheotomy care, suction, catheter care, peg feeding, epilepsy, etc. and am willing to undertake any additional training required.
