“I didn’t start this with a business mindset. They take care of the hard stuff, which is great for someone who’s never been self employed before.”

Nikki

tiney childminder

“In my previous childcare roles, I didn’t enjoy children missing 1-on-1 attention. Working in a childminding setting means I can give them all the attention they need.”
