Dear Family
Dear Family, I have raised my own children and worked in public service for most of my career but for the past 10 years I have loved working with a variety of families caring for their children. I am currently working with a family Tues/Wed/Thurs and would love to let families know that I can be available on Mondays and Friday's for back up childcare. Due to all my experience it's easy for me to provide cover last minute and you can feel comfortable that I can look after your children when they might be sick or if your own childcare has fallen through and you need the children to keep up with their routine so you can work. While I live in Ballinrobe, I've worked in Westport and am happy to travel to any surrounding locality for work; Westport, Castlebar, Claremorris and general surrounds.
My Favourite Memory
When I was doing FETAC Level 5, I worked with a family and we did so many arts and crafts. Aside from being outside with kids, which is my favourite place to be, doing that whole stint where we did arts and crafts nearly every day was so rewarding.
My Experience
I raised my own children as a working mother so I am very empathetic towards the struggles of young working parents today. I have worked in every type of situation and would say that nothing phases me. I also always end up friends with the families I work for as this is more than just a job. I'm used to taking children to all their various activities and can adapt to any situation or age group or routine.
My Education
FETAC Level 5 qualification and also First Aid. I spend many years in public service while my family was young and that was an education in life :-)
My Family
I've three girls. My eldest is nearly 32. Then I've 30 and 27. One is in Melbourne, one is in Dubai and the other one is in Dublin. All the children I mind have met my girls and love talking to them when they call from all these places.
My Motivation
I have been minding children now for 10+ years since my old family was raised and I was able to do work that was more suitable to what I liked. I love minding kids of any age and would love to meet a few families who might need to lean on me for regular back up care or weekend work.
My Interests
I love being outdoors. The more natural the surroundings the better. Taking kids walking in the woods would probably be my favourite. Other than that my interests are my family and spending time with them.
