Welcome message:

I am a mother (4,9) and registered nurse (8years). I am happy to look after children from all walks of life.

I am confident to look after children who require some additional needs.

My style of parenting is that which would align with gentle parenting. I enjoy playing with children and encouraging their imagination. I am active and take my children to the park, swimming, other outings frequently. In my family we do not allow our children to have screen time so I am very adept at finding activities for the children to do.
