About Me

I am a warm, energetic, and highly experienced Nanny with over 4 years of dedicated service to families across Dublin. I specialize in caring for children from infancy through school age, with extensive experience managing multi-child households, twins, and children with additional needs (including Epilepsy and Dyspraxia). I am a strong believer in structured routines and active engagement. I am a confident electric cargo bike rider for school runs and outings, and I enjoy facilitating age-appropriate activities like football, crafts, and sensory play. I am also very experienced in the practical side of childcare, including weaning, sleep schedules, and potty training. I am Garda Vetted, Pediatric First Aid trained, and a fluent English speaker. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and reliable environment while ensuring the children’s daily schedules and meal requirements are fully managed.

My Experience

First Aid Experience

Completed Paediatric 2-hour intensive training (Adelaide Road Presbyterian Church) focusing on CPR and choking.

Special Needs Experience

I have practical experience supporting children with additional needs, specifically Epilepsy and Dyspraxia. Epilepsy: Provided 24/7 vigilant monitoring for a 13-month-old with epileptic tendencies, ensuring constant supervision to manage and prevent crises. Dyspraxia: Implemented a structured daily routine and provided dedicated emotional support to help the child navigate daily tasks with confidence. Observation: I am highly observant and patient, ensuring a stable environment that prioritizes the child's safety and emotional well-being.

Experience with Children Under 2 Years

I have extensive experience caring for infants and toddlers, ranging from 7 months to 2 years old. My experience includes: Routine Management: I am highly skilled in following and maintaining strict nap schedules, weaning, and preparing healthy, age-appropriate meals. Developmental Support: I implement 'learning through play' curriculums specifically designed for babies, focusing on sensory exploration and reaching motor-skill milestones (crawling, standing, and early walking). Expertise in successful potty training transitions, using positive reinforcement and consistent routines. Health & Safety: I have experience with babies who have specific medical needs, including 24/7 monitoring for epileptic tendencies. I am also trained in Paediatric First Aid, specifically for infant CPR and choking.
