I was born in 1968 in the North of England and have two wonderful children: Thomas who was born in 1994 and Rosie who was born in 1996. I was married in 1988 to Ian and moved to Falkirk in 1998.

I worked within the IT & Financial industry here in Scotland from October 1998 through to June 2000. I moved on to care for my own children and started childminding in July 2000.

I have been a registered childminder with Falkirk Council since 1998.
