Dear Family

Hi my name is Ella! I am a 22 year old recent university graduate of Trinity College Dublin with plenty of prior child minding experience. I’m highly creative, very social and completed my undergraduate dissertation in children’s literature so have learned a huge amount about child development and the benefits of reading for kids through this process.

My Experience

Experience: I was a child minder in New York City last summer minding an eight year old girl. I was a cinnire (youth leader) at Colaiste Uisce, looking after 12 girls away from home for 2 weeks completely through the Irish language. I have babysat on many other occasions for children age 2-12.

My Family

I am the eldest with one younger brother and plenty of cousins.

My Motivation

In primary school I spent a lot of time attending an afterschool program where I ended up helping the younger kids with their homework, braiding their hair, running art sessions for them and ultimately learning a lot about child care. I am extremely social and through my university studies specialising in children’s literature have learnt a huge amount about child development and how important it is.

My Interests

I have a broad range of interests including art, photography, reading, writing, music and sports. I played contact rugby competitively for ten years and love to stay active.
