“Childcare is crucial to parents like me. And to the parents who find jobs via The Daisy Chain. Deciding who looks after your child while you’re at work is one of the hardest decisions new parents have to make and being confident with that choice is not easy. Certainly not in the early days. To be able to be a childcare professional – to be chosen to be part of a child’s life and to help them grow – is one of the most valuable jobs out there,” Louise Deverell-Smith, Founder, The Daisy Chain.
