Charmaine

Senior Nursery Practitioner

In January 2018 I emigrated to the UK from South Africa, where I started this amazing job at Monkey Puzzle Hartley Wintney. I started working as a Nursery Assistant in Hedgehogs Room then in October 2019, I was promoted to Room Leader. In October 2022, I was blessed with little baby girl of my own.

My choice of career was due to the arrival of my beautiful baby sister, who is 13 years younger then me. Watching her grow, and teaching her new things, made my heart happy and I knew that teaching was the career for me. I now have my Level 3 in Childcare and development as well as a Bachelors Degree in Education with the University of South Africa.

I enjoy spending time with my daughter and husband, going out with family and friends and my favourite hobby is swimming.

I love working with babies, watching them grow and helping them develop through playing and having fun. Every day is a good day when working with babies and young children.
