Clair Chambers

Being a mum of three amazing children myself (Yasmin, 20, Beau, 11 and Isabella, 4) I have many years of childcare experience. I adore children. I have lots of patience. I am also very conscientious and committed and enjoy having lots of fun with the children I care for.

I am happy working with various ages and aim to provide the best level of care and attention at all times. I enjoy attending courses, which provide me with even more knowledge. I love singing and dancing, photography, eating out and spending quality time with my own children.

I am 46 years of age, am a non smoker and a car owner.
