Hello, I'm Jen Nelson.
I am currently studying for my FE1s and just graduated from studying Sociology and Geography in Trinity! I have a lot of experience with children from working in various camps, babysitting and briefly working in a daycare centre. I am an outgoing, happy individual who is keen to help out and loves keeping everything neat and tidy! I I have a passion for culture and creativity as well as a great appreciation for human interaction. I love cooking and baking and spending time with my family and friends.
My Family
I live at home with my parents in Foxrock, both of whom work in finance. My brother (25) is an engineer working Dublin and my sister (27) is an engineer living in Melbourne, Australia. I am very close with my family and we love to travel together.
My Favourite Memory
My favourite memories are those from family holidays when I was younger. We recently visited my uncle in Canada where we did a road trip through the Rocky Mountains which consisted of a lot of hiking and swimming. It was so lovely to spend time together before my sister moved away!
My Education
I began my education in Hollypark Girls National School, then attended Muckross Park College and went on to Trinity College Dublin to study Sociology and Geography which I completed in May. I am currently studying to be a solicitor and am in the process of completing my FE1 exams.
My Interests
I love to cook and bake and enjoy spending time with family and friends. I play tennis with my parents and love yoga and pilates. I spend a lot of time reading and planning trips with my friends whenever I can.
My Motivation
I am interested in working with families as I have always been very close with mine. I love kids and have a lot of experience with them. Over the past few months, I have been helping my neighbour with her kids (ages 2 and 5) every morning. This consisted of getting them ready for the day and dropping them to childcare/school. I loved my mornings because of this and would love another similar opportunity to take care and help out.
