Margaret B.

I am an experienced (10+) garda vetted Childminder, Babysitter and Special Needs Assistant and Special Needs Carer.. Currently I am working privately in these areas. I have also worked in special school settings which afforded me the benefit of gaining comprehensive experience. I hold a Level 7 (H1) Certificate in Special Educational Needs for SNAs from St Angela's College, Sligo. This qualification is Dpt. of Education & Youth recognised. My knowledge from this qualification and relevant experience can be applied when engaging with all children. Courses Completed: Child Protection Training, Children First (Tusla), Epilepsy Awareness, First Aid. Entrusting your child in my care means they will be treated with respect and cared for safely. Inclusion, positivity, supporting social skills, encouraging communication, building self esteem and lots of positive reinforcement are some of the ways that will enhance and promote your child's independence while they still have fun and enjoy themselves.
