Summary

I began my career in childcare in 1994 after completing my NNEB Diploma. My experience spans various roles, from Nanny to Nursery Nurse, Senior, and Deputy Manager, providing me with deep insights into child development. As a parent of two children, aged 22 and 18, I have integrated housekeeping into my responsibilities. I possess strong attention to detail, a diligent work ethic, and uphold high standards, making me reliable and adaptable in my role.
