I have been working within homestay for over 20 years, so I have plenty of experience. I started as a host mum myself while living in London, juggling a full-time career and my beautiful daughter Megan. I loved the experience so much I decided when the opportunity arose to take redundancy from my government career and set up my own homestay business in Medway, Kent.
Though my husband Mark and Megan both have their own careers they are always helping out especially when the coaches arrive.
I have a passion to ensure that every aspect of the stay runs as smoothly as possible, this passion and dedication have made groups return to stay with Medway Homestay year after year.
Lastly but most importantly as a mother myself I know how important it is for a student to feel comfortable with their host family and for parents to be confident their child is safe and being cared for.
