IN HIS SERVICE
OUR FAMILY WORKER SIAN
Hi ! My name is Sian Parkhouse and I am the recently appointed children and family worker.
I was born and brought up in the Rhymney Valley and then in 1991 moved with my family to
Aberystwyth, where I attended Penglais school and Coleg Ceredigion, where I studied
child care.
My practical child care skills developed when I worked in a local primary school, day care
nursery and through setting up a holiday club.
I know from my sixteen years of experience of working with children and their families, the
benefits of group activities. They can bring together all the elements of the wider family circle,
whilst encouraging and supporting the children to develop in a happy and safe environment.
In my new role, I believe my enthusiasm, passion and my faith will enable me to show both
children and there families that the church is a FUN place to come to.
I live in Burry Port with my husband Michael and our five cats! My parents, Mary and Robert, live close by in
Pembrey, which is great, as we can pop in for tea! We worship as a family in St. Illtyd's church in Pembrey, where I
was a Sunday school teacher.
