My experience

I take great pride in my childminding work and strongly believe that I offer an excellent service.

Experience & qualifications:

In Kew / Richmond: Over four years of work, in my most recent role as Head Childminder, full-time, permanent work in two 5-star-rated childminding and daycare facilities (highly experienced and professional settings, which have operated over a decade). Alternated between two settings in Kew/ Richmond. Prior to that, nannying and babysitting (see next paragraph).
Since then, Head Childminder and Co-owner of my own setting.

References will be provided upon request.

Prior to my Head Childminder experience:

In Mexico: 10 years of podiatry and work with children. Plus, raising my own daughter (she is now 20 years old).

Many years of experience in nannying, and babysitting for the children of friends, and of friends’ friends, in East Sheen, Richmond, etc., as well as weekly after-work and weekend babysittings (for children who are under my care at the two childminding and daycare facilities in Kew / Richmond, where the children know me well and I know them well, so the parents prefer that I’m their children’s babysitter).

The two settings in Kew / Richmond where I have been working had a total of 22 children, and the fact that both were garden-home settings gave me strong experience with plenty of play activities for learning and development whilst being outside with children.
