Notes

I have taught violin for both Havering Music School (including Saturday school,Upminster infant, crownfields, parsonage farm, st albans) and Newham’s “Every Child a Musician” This included teaching violin to classes of children aged 5 and upwards. My children, siblings and parents are also musicians, and my Mum has taught music locally, both privately and for Havering Music for years. The children I look after become part of the household and benefit from the natural encouragement of musicianship from an early age which comes from being part of a musical family. They’ll learn the basics of musicianship before school, which research shows does all sorts of good things to the brain -apparently!

I’ve also worked as a Registered Nurse for 9 years including as a staff nurse at the Child and Adolescent Services in the The Priory, North London, and various services in NELFT. This experience emphasised to me how vital the early years are to the development of the person, and how important it is to encourage children to develop resilience, critical thinking, and most importantly confidence in themselves. I left nursing to come back to working with kids, but in the form of childminding.

Following the pandemic I ve adopted hygiene practices i learnt as a nurse to reduce as much as possible any potential transmission and to keep those in my care as safe as possible.

I currently have places available so if you’re looking for somewhere that your child can have fun, be well cared for and nurtured in the same way i care for my own then contact me and arrange a visit -  :)
