My Summary
About Me
Hi I'm Orla; I’m 20 years old and will be starting university at Edge Hill in October 2025 to study a master’s degree in children’s nursing and social work.
I will be looking for regular babysitting jobs, or low hours childcare to fit around my studies. Happy to do wrap around school care, pick ups and drop offs. I will have more information on my availability closer to the time.
My Experience
I have 4 years of diverse childcare experience, including babysitting, full time nannying, and live-in au pair roles. I have cared for children of different ages, supporting their growth and development, building strong relationships with families, and honing my skills and passion for childcare.
From January -August 2023, I worked in France providing compassionate care for a newborn, focusing on physical, emotional, and developmental needs. I established and maintained routines, engaged in age-appropriate activities such as tummy time, reading to him, and encouraging language skills through music. I ensured the baby’s well-being through attentive monitoring and communication with parents. I supported the family with household tasks such as meal preparation, laundry, and maintaining a clean and organised environment.
From January 2024 I cared for two toddlers in a live-in role in Brisbane Australia, creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. I managed daily routines, including meals, naps, and playtime, and organized activities to support motor, cognitive, and emotional development. I fostered healthy habits, read daily to encourage language skills, and maintained open communication with the parents.
I currently work as a full time nanny to a 2 year old. I support social and educational development through Montessori techniques and play. For the last 6 months I have been introducing phonics learning and have seen amazing progress in this child, going from recognising letter sounds, to being able to read simple words at the age of 2.5! I create a safe environment, and organise activities to foster key development and well being.
