About Me

I’m someone who truly appreciates the little things in life, whether that’s quality time with loved ones, a good cup of coffee, or a quiet walk, yoga & Pilates.
Family and friends mean the world to me, and I absolutely adore my goddaughter.
I’ve been fortunate to live abroad and experience a wide range of cultures and adventures. I’ve lived in Malta, Cyprus, and Crete, and I’m well travelled, with plenty of life experiences under my belt. One of my favourite memories is travelling around Italy, Holland, Austria, and Germany with my mum and dad, a trip I’ll always treasure.
I love visiting my parents in England whenever I can, and I enjoy travelling, exploring new places, and making meaningful memories.
I’m available days, evenings, and weekends in the Belfast/Newtownabbey area, and I’ll be completing my Level 5 Diploma in Childcare Management in October 2025
I will be available from September 2025.
I am currently working in a children home through an agency which makes me very flexible to when and if I want to pick a shift, I would like to continue this on as in the future I would like to consider a career path in play therapy. Due to This I think I would be more suited to a family that only needs part time care or an ad hoc basis. If suited to a family, I can arrange my working pattern around the family. So your pattern would come first.

My Experience

I have over 9 years of experience working in private day care, including 6 years as a room leader. During this time, I developed a wide range of skills, particularly in supporting individual developmental milestones and tailoring learning experiences to meet each child’s unique needs.
I’ve also volunteered in youth work and after-school programmes, and worked across two nurseries, one in a private day care setting and the other within a women’s centre.
Most recently, I was a Unit Head (room leader) for nearly 6 years, leading a nursery room for children aged 14–19 months. I built strong, trusting relationships with both the children and their families, many of whom I still babysit for today.
I’m passionate about creating engaging, age-appropriate activities that promote learning through play. I’m always coming up with fun and creative ways to support children’s development while ensuring their safety and well-being are consistently prioritised.
In addition, I have previous experience as a nanny, caring for children aged 6 months to 3 years.
