My name is Nikki and I was born in London, but I have lived in the Midlands for most of my life. I have worked with children for the last 20 years and to me it is the most rewarding and fulfilling occupation. I have two grown up sons, one lives in the Alps and I go to visit him regularly and just absolutely love the area. I have recently been working within temporary teaching and childcare roles and this has allowed me more flexibility. I love to travel and recently went to Borneo to complete a charity trek. My husband and I also like to travel and explore different countries in a motor home. I enjoy hiking, cycling, yoga and most outdoor activities. Cooking and nutrition are something that I also love to do. Thank you Nikki

• Nikki has over 14 years experience as a qualified teacher who is extremely hard working, innovative, kind, caring and compassionate. Her nurturing nature ensures that the children in her care receive the best quality teaching as well as their social and emotional needs being met fully. Nikki’s communication skills are excellent and she works effectively as part of a team or under her own initiative. I would thoroughly recommend Nikki to the position and wouldn’t hesitate to employ her to take care of any child of any age.
