About Me

Hi! My name is Eleanor, and I’m a warm, reliable, and creative person with plenty of experience caring for children from 9 months to 18 years old. I’m currently training to be a secondary school teacher and have worked in a variety of settings, including school placements (mainstream and special education), au pairing in France and Spain, and in a busy creche setting. I’ve supported children with additional needs, helped with daily routines and planned age-appropriate activities to support learning and development. I enjoy arts and crafts, baking, and interactive play, and I always aim to create a calm, caring, and engaging environment. I’m organised, patient, and confident in following routines while being flexible to the needs of each child and family. Whether you’re looking for occasional or regular babysitting, I’d be happy to support your family with kindness and care.

My Experience

Child Minding Qualifications

I have a strong background in childcare through both education and hands-on experience. I’ve completed teacher training with placements in both mainstream and special education settings, worked in a creche primarily with babies and toddlers, and also spent time as an au pair caring for children in their homes. I’ve supported children from 9 months to 18 years old, including those with additional needs, and I’m confident using visual aids, routines, and play-based activities to support their learning and development. I am Garda Vetted through my college and a number of other roles over the years.

Special Needs Experience

I have completed work experience in a school setting with students with moderate to profound intellectual disabilities, autism, and physical disabilities. I gained practical experience supporting students with differentiated learning needs, using visual aids, simplified instructions, and sensory-based activities. I also developed strong communication and patience and collaborated with teachers and SNAs to ensure inclusive classroom participation.

Experience with Children Under 2 Years

I have experience working with babies and toddlers, especially those aged 1 to 2 years old, from my time working in a creche. I helped with everyday routines like feeding, changing, and naps, and spent lots of time playing and chatting with the children to support their early development. I’m comfortable caring for little ones and always try to create a calm, caring environment.
