Hey guys!

I've just taken up work assisting families in their childcare duties, through working for a Nottingham based company called @HomeChildcare. This new, enterprising organisation sends childcare workers (both paid and voluntary) out into the community to assist families who aren't able to carry out basic tasks such as ensuring their children are ready for school. It's definitely worthwhile. There are organisations like this cropping up all over the place, so definitely…

The little things we do in our community have massive impacts. The repercussions of which are far reaching. Internationally we have a chance to really do something quite remarkable. It is important we take this chance. Before I get all 'preachey' I'll tell you a bit about who I am and what I do. I have recently finished a degree in childhood education here in the UK.
