My name is Karen Smith and I'm a child minder based in Horley (approximately 1 mile from Gatwick Airport and 5 minutes walk from Horley train station).

I have two children, both boys aged 9 yrs & 7 yrs. I am also a Governor for a local school.

Prior to becoming a child minder I worked at Gatwick Airport for BAA as a Property Manager.

Caring for children is a huge responsibility but one that I enjoy immensely. We all enjoy each other's company and have a lot of fun whether reading and drawing or playing with the toys.

We also like to go for little walks to the park or to the town but of course that depends on the weather!
