I have been a Registered Childminder for 10 yrs and have cared for many local children of all age groups.I am registered with the Scottish Child Care and Education Board, a member of the Scottish Childminding Association and the Chairperson of Crieff Childminders Group.
I have two children of my own. Rebecca is 22 and is studying Occupational Therapy in Glasgow. Jamie is 18, lives at home and is an apprentice automotive technician.
I also have other experience of working with children .... I am a Guide Guider, I have been a Brownie Guider, a Rainbow Guider, a playgroup leader, a boarding house tutor at Morrison's Academy and I have been a Sunday School teacher with the Church of Scotland.
Since the initial Childminders training course I have continued to study courses and attend trainings relevant to working with children. In 1997 I graduated from the Open University with BSc(hons)... this included some child development courses.
In 2001 I completed my SVQIII in Early Years: Care and Education, this along with an Aids module completed the requirements to register with the Scottish Child Care and Education Board. I have a Child Carers First Aid qualification which I renew every three years. Currently I am working towards my Childcare Practitioner Certificate with the Open University and I am training to be a Childminding Tutor.
Crieff Childminders Group runs a drop in twice a week where minded children and childminders can meet and play together ... I use this facility regularly.
The services I offer are: before and after school care, holiday care, overnight care,day care for under fives, respite care and care for children with special needs.
