🌟 Experienced Childminder Ready to Nurture and Care for Your Little Ones! 🌟 (child/ children's own home) Are you searching for a caring, dedicated, and experienced childminder who can provide your child with a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment? Look no further! With over 20 years of dedicated childcare experience, I am here to offer your family the peace of mind and support you deserve. My journey in childcare has been a labour of love, and my qualifications and experiences speak volumes: I was the proud owner and operator of my own creche for 10 years in Dublin city. This equipped me with invaluable insights into child development, creating enriching learning environments, and ensuring the safety and happiness of little ones. . I understand the joys and challenges of parenthood intimately, as I've lovingly raised four wonderful children of my own. This personal experience has given me profound empathy and patience. With a very heavy heart I made the decision to close my business after my fourth child was born. I wanted to solely dedicate my time to my children while they were still so young. I decided in 2021 to go back to work when my youngest son was in secondary school. My most recent experience is nannying twins (2.5years) and their sibling (5 years). I have hands-on experience in the demanding yet incredibly rewarding task of caring for twins since they were 6 months old, alongside their energetic two-year-old sibling. This experience has honed my multitasking skills, patience, and ability to create a harmonious atmosphere for all children under my care. These have now started preschool and national school, and I am now seeking a new family to look after. As your childminder, I am not just a caregiver but a partner in your child's growth and development. My approach is centered on: Learning Through Play: I believe in the power of play as a crucial tool for learning and development. Your child will engage in age-appropriate, fun, and educational activities. Emotional Support: I am attentive to each child's emotional needs, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and loved while in my care. Nutrition: A balanced diet is crucial for your child's growth. I provide wholesome, nutritious meals and snacks. Communication: I value open and honest communication with parents. Regular updates and feedback on your child's progress are a priority. Your child's happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I look forward to being a positive influence in their life. If you're seeking an experienced childminder who brings years of expertise, a passion for childcare, and a warm heart to the table, I would be honoured to be part of your child's journey. I am fully flexible and available for full time/ part-time care , including afterschool and weekends if required. I am happy to also support with light housekeeping tasks, such as tidying up, preparing nutritious meals, maintaining a clean play area , ironing and hoovering- It's about supporting your family in every way possible. Experience with All Ages: From newborns to national school-age children, I have the experience and expertise to cater to the specific needs of each age group. My nurturing and development-focused approach ensures your child receives age-appropriate care and stimulation. If you're seeking a childminder who can seamlessly integrate into your family's daily life, providing care and support whenever you need it, please reach out to me.
