Marcela F.

Hello families! My name is Marcela, I am a 33 year old Brazilian currently living in Salthill, Galway. I am dedicated, warm, and highly energetic, and I am looking for a rewarding opportunity to support a lovely family as a nanny or childminder. I adore working with children, and my absolute goal is to combine my passion for childcare with the opportunity to continue perfecting my English in a natural, warm environment. 📅 My Availability Monday to Friday: Fully available All Day (Flexible hours). Saturday & Sunday: Available by prior arrangement (Perfect for weekend help or parents' date nights!). 💼 My Experience & Background I have extensive experience caring for children of various ages, both in professional settings and within my own family: Nanny Experience (Brazil): I began my childcare journey caring for a 3-year-old child. Later, I spent 3 years looking after two wonderful siblings (aged 4 and 7). My daily responsibilities included school drop-offs and pick-ups, preparing healthy snacks, assisting with homework, managing playtime/TV time, and helping with light household tasks related to the children. Hotel Recreation Worker: I worked as a freelance entertainer/recreation worker at a hotel, where I organized engaging, fun, and safe activities for groups of children, ensuring they were well-supervised and happy during meals and playtime. Family Care: Family is everything to me! I actively helped raise my 12-year-old brother and my 7-year-old niece, who lived with me in Brazil. ❤️ What I Bring to Your Family While I don't ride a bike or swim, I bring a wealth of positive qualities to the table: Joyful & Engaging Environment: I excel at creating fun, creative activities, arts, and games to keep children happy and away from screens. Living in Salthill, I also love outdoor walks and taking children to safe, local outdoor spaces when the weather permits. Maturity & Adaptability: At 33, I am mature, highly attentive, patient, and quick to adapt to your family's unique routines. Safety & Care: I provide the genuine love, respect, and focused attention that your little ones need to feel safe and secure. I am confident that my positive nature, dedication, and experience will help create a warm, nurturing, and happy environment for your children. I would love to arrange a chat or a meeting to see if we are a good fit! Warm regards, Marcela 🇧🇷 🇮🇪
