Other Family Information

Family's interests:	I am quite social and enjoy entertaining family and friends. I have two lovely dogs and enjoy walks in the countryside, of which there is loads around here to enjoy. I do yoga, and have an indoor exercise area with rowing machine and weights. As I have a chronic illness I tend to be quite housebound at times, but try to stay active even at home. I work 4 days a week and will continue to do so after 6 months mat leave.
Where do you go on holiday?:	Ski holidays in St Anton, Barbados, Marrakesh, visit friends in Spain and of course South Africa as often as I can. Also trips whilst on mat leave planned to Australia and South Africa to see family.
Do you have any animals?	A Staffy puppy called Yoda, Collie cross rescue called Lottie and a rescue cat called Bella. I am a sucker for animals in need!
Any other relevant information which you feel is important:	I am originally from South Africa, and my dad and step mum who live nearby are South African. I have lived between SA and UK for 30 odd years and find my link to home is getting less and less. So for me I would much prefer a South African nanny who understands the culture and humour and can help pass this down to my kids. I do not have children but currently undergoing IVF. Child will be due April/May (perhaps earlier if I am successful sooner than expected). If goes to plan it will be a newborn baby.
