Sally Rookes, Nanny Recruitment Consultant

Sally obtained her BTEC National Diploma in Early Years and has spent her career predominantly working in schools. Her first post was as a Teaching Assistant at a primary school in a deprived area of Worcester where she was quickly nominated to be responsible for children with behavioural difficulties. Having thrived on the challenge of dealing with these children she was successful in obtaining a post at the Vale of Evesham School as a Teaching Assistant dealing with teenagers with severe learning difficulties. During this time she successfully completed two years studying with the Open University and achieved Diplomas in Early Years and Health and Social Care.

She decided to take a year out and went travelling in Australia where she was able to travel from Melbourne around the East Coast up to Darwin working in sales and marketing. On her return to the UK she worked as a Senior Nursery Assistant in the Toddlers' room at a nursery in Evesham.

Sally uses her own experience of working closely with children of different ages to understand the needs for childcare within the family and the nursery environment.

She decided to work as a Nanny for a year with two little girls, with whom she remains in contact. She was then successful in obtaining the post of Base Room Manager at a nursery in Evesham where she loved working with the children and thrived on the responsibilities she was given.

Having worked both as a nanny and worked in a senior role in nurseries, Katie is fully aware of the need to find reliable care for your child and is committed to doing her best to match the right candidate for the client.

Katie will also be developing the mobile crèche element of the business and wants to take an hands on approach to ensure the best environment for the children.

Patti Rookes, Director and Admin Support

Patti has spent most of her working career in University administration. However, after the birth of her two daughters, she took time out and decided to do an Open University degree and graduated in 1997 with an Arts degree. On her return to the workplace she became Network Officer for the Wyre Forest Lifelong Learning Network based at Kidderminster College engaged in promoting adult learning in the community.

From there she progressed to become a Project Co-ordinator for the Government "Aimhigher" programme working to promote higher education amongst adults in disadvantaged situations. At the close of this project she decided to pursue her lifelong interest in art and is undertaking a part-time Fine Arts degree at the University of Worcester.

As a mother she is acutely aware of the importance and difficulty of finding the right kind of childcare and, using her own experience, sees her role in Tinies as backup and support to the family.
