I'm Nicki, I am a mum to 2 children, 13 & 18. My eldest has ASD, so I fully appreciate how invaluable it is to have somewhere such as Our House to be able to attend, to speak with other parents whilst having a safe space for the children to play.
I work part time with children who have special needs, offering well needed respite to their families. I also have my own cleaning business as well as a bit of cake decorating on the side.

Coming soon.
