I have a warm and engaging manner and have always been this way. Raising my 5 children to be responsible, kind, respectful and successful in their own lives and careers has been hard work but extremely rewarding. Through this experience, I would like to respectfully share these positive times in the guidelines of your own family.

For the babies, the warm and secure feeling they need whilst the Mother is away for that short time. For the older children, again, the safe feeling which I think comes with being pleasant and approachable, laughing and playing with them and re-asurring them when feeling sad and bringing that structure to their day in a pleasant way that they can settle easier at night.

The spontaneity of children, helping them learn and achieve simple things and keeping my mind active. I am also mindful of the parents who are critically timepoor, as I once was, to re-connect on the weekends and to help find that balance.
