Hello, I'm Hannah.
I’m Hannah, and I’m a 24 year old singer-songwriter living in Lanzarote. I love children, and I have a lot of experience with working with kids both in Ireland and Italy! Send me a message if you’re interested in me minding your children, I’d love to chat!
My Family
I have a little brother Daniel who is 8 and my sister Rachel is 22 and has just started studying Law in Trinity College Dublin so I’m the eldest of three! My brother loves sports and attends a weekly musical club. He loves getting out in nature. My favorite family memories with my brother include making chocolate Rice Krispy buns together on Christmas Eve last year, and with my sister, all of the fun imaginative games we played together as kids growing up, as we were very close in age, and loved dress-up!
My Favourite Memory
One of my favorite memories was when a family I was childminding for suggested I take the children to the local library. It was a gorgeous summer’s day so the walk there was lovely. We played with some building blocks in the library’s play area, and the children bought took out and returned library books. On the way back we went to the local park and the kids had a great time in the playground. Other favorite childminding memories I have include playing with Lego with a really bright little boy I used to mind in Wicklow Town. My little brother loves Lego too.
My Education
I studied Music Performance at the Bray Institute of Further Education (BIFE) and graduated with a Level 6 Merit Music Performance certificate. Outside of a university/college space, I have studied for a TEFL Teaching English As A Foreign Language certificate through Premier TEFL which I thoroughly enjoyed. It involved me travelling to both Poland and Italy to do in person practical teaching experience with both adults and children which was so rewarding.
My Interests
I love travelling. I love reading and writing, psychology, yoga, and meditating. I love my job working as a live musician. I love going for walks. I love learning languages. I am fluent in English of course, and can also speak French and Spanish too. In the past I have also studied Irish, Italian, and Mandarin (Chinese).
My Motivation
I have so many happy memories from the vibrant magical childhood I had which I think has influenced my love of children and their imagination. As an adult I have come to learn how challenging it can be to find reliable, kind minders for your children that you have 100% confidence in, and it’s been very fulfilling to be able to be that for families, and provide children with care in moments when their parents aren’t around.
