I have three happy teenage children. I very much enjoy working with children of all ages, and have had much time doing so.
I am the mother of three very happy, balanced teenagers ranging in age from 14 to 19. I have had much experience working with children from the ages of 4 to 16 as a classical ballet teacher. I was a professional ballet dancer. I have also studied play therapy with children to give me greater understanding.

I have had much experience working with children from the ages of 4 to 16 as a classical ballet teacher. I was a professional ballet dancer. I have also studied play therapy with children to give me greater understanding. My children attended Montessori Pre-School, and I am very much appreciative of their time growing, and being free to be themselves, and make very good friends during these years. I will write less about my own children. I have also spent time helping take care of my sister's children during difficult times. I love to spend time caring for and being with children of all ages from babies onward. I take time to learn individually about each child, and knowing what they, and their parents, may need from me. I am mostly free during the school terms within school hours but if necessary my children are of the age where two days a week I could continue to help you. Thankyou for reading this, Claire.

What parents love about me
I have three happy teenage children and have loved every moment with them. I have had many children at my home for play time, and for helping other Mum's while they work. I have a great love and affinity for all children of all ages, and the children like who I am as an adult. I can make time fun through art/craft, freedom to play in their own way, being there for them whatever they may need from me.
What kids love about me
I am happy to spend time with them in whatever way is of interest. We can do fun art, games, talk and listen, read stories, or whatever may bring happiness at the moment. I love spending time with them and knowing them and they also know this.
What I love about this work
Childhood years are incredibly important in the future of each individual. Their freedom to be themselves, learn, play, grow, and be happy means a great deal. I have learnt a great deal from raising my own three beautiful children, have studied play therapy, and love children at every stage they are going through.
