I have working in childcare for most of my life - from babysitting in my teens to then becoming a full time nanny in London & working in pre-schools. I love encouraging young minds to think independently and be inquisitive, and feel able to express themselves around me. I love doing anything creative; art, baking, roleplay & can assist with homework.
