About Me

My name is Kayleigh. I’m a 34 year old female, and I live in the picturesque region of West Yorkshire, UK. During my day, I work as an Educational Support Worker for children with additional needs, a role that I find incredibly rewarding and fulfilling, as I get the opportunity to make a difference in their lives. When I’m not working, I split my time between enjoying the company of my partner and family, and taking care of my two adorable kitties, who never fail to bring joy and laughter into our home. In my leisure time, I often find myself trying to decide whether to immerse myself in a captivating book or engage in one of my favorite games. More often than not, it’s reading that wins out, as I adore exploring new worlds and stories through the pages of a good novel, although the thrill of gaming is always a tempting alternative!
