Katy, childcare provider in Stowmarket IP14

My name is Katy I have a NVQ level 3 in childcare. I have been working in childcare for 13 years and nannying for the last 7 years. I had a baby boy in January who has greatly added to my experience and allows me now to see things from a mothers perspective as well as a nanny's.
I have had the privilege of caring for some amazing children and becoming a part of some wonderful families. I have had experience with children with special needs and multiple births. I have looked after babies from 5 weeks old up to children of 12 years.
I strive to provide a loving, safe and stimulating environment for the children in my care. I also provide learning opportunities within the home and in different environments. I love to do arts, crafts and messy play with babies and children and spend a lot of time outside, of course combining the two can be lots of fun too. For those children at school I always make sure I am there to support them with there homework after school as well as making sure they have time to play and relax as well. I love books and read stories to the children in my care as well as making sure the older ones read stories to me.
When caring for pre-schoolers I often make letter and number games, I only do this with them when they are ready to learn and want to play. It is important that they do not feel pressured to do so, it always has to be fun.
I would describe myself as firm but fair, I believe children should know there boundaries and make sure we are all on the same page. This allows us all to have a lot more fun.
I have also recently learnt baby massage which is great for relaxing young babies as well as helping with wind, colds, teething and even growing pains for children.
I am looking for a family that need 30-40 hours, over 3/4 days or full time, term time only. I have cared for families with 2-4 children. I have a clean driving license and full insurance for business use. I have previously been Ofsted registered and would be able to do so again.
