I have worked in the NHS for the last 20 years. Firstly in neonatal intensive care working with families and babies in very scary and difficult situations. Administering medical procedures and closely working with families to empower them to support their precious babies.

I have been working in community paediatrics and health visiting for over 10 years: supporting new mothers with their mental health and working with new born babies up to the age of 10 years old.

I love creating a safe, friendly and happy environment to be able to build positive relationships with families and carry out assessments with empathy. Personally Developing a special interest in working with families and supporting children with developmental delay and neurodiversity. Working closely with nursery’s, pre schools and early years education to help provide the best opportunities for every child I work with.
