Bhavnaa L.

I'm Bhavnaa. I'm 23, doing my masters in Neuroscience from Trinity College Dublin, currently living in Lucan. I have a sister back in India who is 13 years younger than me. I love children because I don't like when kids grow up as they loose their innocence, cuteness and get into complicated lives. I always tell my sister I wish she always remained a baby. So, spending time with kids helps me take off my mind from the fast-moving world. My child minding path started way back in my own family. We, as a family underwent a lot of financial struggles after my sister's birth. My parents worked double time to support us both and we couldn't afford a nanny to take care of us both. So, I became my sister's mom. My mother returned to her job after 1 year of my sister's birth. Me,being a 14-yr old, cooking & taking care of myself was so new to me, on top of that was taking care of a 1-yr old. It was very hard but I never gave up. I went through so many things but it all turned out okay. That is where my path in childminding started. I took complete care of her till I had to move here. So, I officially became the babysitter in all my family functions and celebrations where parents would leave their kids to me and have fun as they were really impressed by the way I handled my sister. I also took care of other children in India when I was doing my undergrad. In my last job as nanny, I took care of two boys in Dublin out of which one of the boys is suffering from Down's syndrome, so I'm happy to take care of all types of children. Give me a shot, I promise you won't regret it.
