LINDSAY
Hello, my name is Lindsay and I have lived in Dunbar for the past 10 years. I have worked with children for the last 11 years. Initially as a childminder with my husband Bryan and then working at the after- school club.
I have completed my SVQ Practitioner qualification and the PDA Level 9 qualification in Childhood Practice.
Working with children is very rewarding and brings new challenges every day! I especially like doing various activities with the children and watching their confidence grow.
I have 2 teenage children who attend school and university. In my spare time I like walking and cycling and going to my yoga class. I enjoy spending time with my family and catching up with friends.
BRYAN
I grew up in Bonnyrigg, attending Lasswade High school. I moved to Dunbar in 2010. I worked in the printing industry for 22 years before leaving to work with Lindsay my wife as a childminder, we have 2 teenage children.
I love most sports, in particular cycling and football where I qualified as a SYFA coach at Dunbar United Colts. I have trained as a first responder where I volunteered in Dunbar. I qualified as a children’s practitioner having completed the SVQ level 3 in Children and Young People and Social Services qualification.
Working with kids was a great choice for me, helping children is the most rewarding job I can think of, knowing that my job is to help kids achieve their full potential. As a parent I like to think of myself as a good role model who has fun with my children, and a dad that my children can always speak too.
I enjoy music of most genres but especially going to live music, I love film and going to the cinema, I like to keep fit.
I really enjoy mountain biking and enjoy lots of great trails locally in Dunbar too.
PAULINE
I was born in Edinburgh, I lived for 22 years in Bristol before moving to Dunbar 5 years ago. I live with my husband and youngest son who is in S6 at Dunbar Grammar. My older three children (two daughters, one son) all settled in England after attending university there.
I completed my City and Guilds NVQ Level 3 in Children and Young People in 2014 and began working at DASC in August 2017. I enjoy spending time with the children, every day is different and you can never get bored!
I have recently completed my Level 4 Qualification and work as Senior Practitioner at the club.
Outside of work I enjoy taking holidays, whether at home or abroad. I spend my time walking my rescue Lurcher dog, we love to visit all the beaches of East Lothian and he is always with us on day trips and short breaks in Scotland. To relax I like nothing better than a cup of tea and a good book, when I get the time!
