About Me

Picture
I work with children in a caring environment, encouraging learning through purposeful play. My goal is to provide quality childcare by having a secure, loving and safe environment which enables your children to thrive.  I enjoy creating a playful, educational program that encourages learning, self-confidence and independence.  My program is aimed at meeting the six areas of learning and development of the Early Years Foundation Stage educational program. I create an educational program tailored to each child’s age and level of knowledge – providing daily feedback to parents.This creates a smooth transition to their future formal schooling.

I am 46 years old, and I am married to a wonderful man named Michael.  I am originally from California and have lived in London for the past 5 years.  We reside in a three bedroom flat with a garden.  We have a friendly cat, Kiki.  Our flat is located just two short blocks from Battersea Park, which is great fun for the children with the lake, zoo, playgrounds and 1 o'clock club.

I have two daughters, Kaitlyn and Madeleine.  Madeleine was born in November 2010 and is such a delight, and Kaitlyn is my 24 year old daughter who lives in California and is an amazing woman.

I was employed by the State of California for seventeen years working with people who were injured at work. Here in London, I have been a Life Coach for the last 2 years, working with expatriates and people who were going through major life changes.  This training has provided me with excellent skills to enhance children's emotional well-being by teaching them skills to be happy and assist their emotional and social development.

I have become a childminder for several reasons:  the most important being that I love working with children, another because having a little one at home has limited my availability to coach clients, and a third being that I want Madeleine to have little mates to play and grow up with. I have always wanted to work with children and having a little one now makes this the most logical career move. 

Thank you for your interest, and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
