My name is Clare and I am 40 years old. I live with my partner Chris (who is also my assistant) and our 2 children. We have small dog called Lola, 4 chickens & 2 Axolots. We both have full clean driving licences, with full business insurance. I decided to begin child minding because I wish to spend more time with my children and feel it's time to move on from the elderly care. I am a very ambitious person and dedicated to making my own business succeed. I understand the difficulty for working parents, so therefore feel I can offer quality care and flexibility for other families.
