About Me

Hi, I’m Zoë, a creative and caring childminder based in Galway. I’ve been working with children for over seven years, both in Ireland and abroad. I spent five years living in Spain, where I worked as a teacher with children aged 1 to 8. Since returning home last September, I’ve been working as a childminder in Galway, supporting families with children of all ages. I have a degree in Contemporary Art, and I love bringing creativity and imagination into my work with children — whether it’s through arts and crafts, nature walks, or playful storytelling. I also have experience as an au pair in Canada and Spain, and I’ve worked in both busy households and more relaxed home environments. I take a calm, thoughtful approach to childcare, and believe in creating a space where children feel safe, heard, and free to be themselves. I’m confident with routines like bottle feeding, nap schedules, school runs, and meal prep, and I tailor my care to fit each family’s needs and values. I have a full Irish driver’s licence and my own car, and I’m currently available for part-time or full-time roles. I’d love to chat and see if we’re a good fit!

My Experience

Child Minding Qualifications

I am Garda vetted through my work as a teacher and hold a Safeguarding Certificate from Tulsa Children First. I am also preparing to renew my Paediatric First Aid certification to ensure I stay up to date with current best practices. I take child safety and wellbeing very seriously and am committed to providing a secure and caring environment for all children in my care.

First Aid Experience

Yes, I have First Aid experience and previously completed a Paediatric First Aid course. Although my certification has expired, I am currently in the process of renewing it to ensure I’m fully up to date and prepared for any emergencies.

Special Needs Experience

I don’t have direct experience working with children with special needs, but I’m open to learning and supporting each child’s individual needs with patience and care. As a teacher, I understand the importance of inclusion and am always willing to adapt and grow in order to provide the best care possible.

Experience with Children Under 2 Years

Yes, I have plenty of experience with babies. I’ve been babysitting for families for over 10 years, including caring for infants. I also worked in an infantil (early years centre) in Spain, where I taught and supported children as young as 1 year old. I'm confident and comfortable meeting the needs of babies, from feeding and nappy changes to supporting their early development.
