My Summary
About Me
I’m a qualified nurse with a Bachelor's Honours degree in Nursing and over five years of experience caring for children of all ages, including those with disabilities. I’ve worked in pediatric hospital wards, residential care settings, and crèches, where I gained extensive knowledge in child development, infant care, and special needs support. I’ve also helped raise children within my family and volunteered as a Sunday school teacher for babies and toddlers. My approach is calm, compassionate, and attentive. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing environment where every child, regardless of ability, feels valued, supported, and well cared for.
My Experience
I am a qualified nurse with a Bachelor's Honours degree in Nursing and over five years of experience working in childcare across both Ireland and Edinburgh. My background is vast and varied, having worked in residential care settings with children and adolescents who have complex emotional, behavioural, and developmental needs. This role allowed me to provide consistent, one-on-one care in a structured and nurturing environment.
I have also worked in pediatric hospital wards, supporting infants and young children with a range of medical conditions. These experiences have strengthened my clinical knowledge and deepened my understanding of child development, illness, and the importance of empathetic, child-centred care. I have experience working with children with disabilities, always ensuring they are treated with respect, patience, and compassion.
In addition to clinical roles, I have worked in crèches, volunteered as a Sunday school teacher for babies and toddlers, and supported family members in raising young children. These personal and professional experiences have equipped me to care for children of all ages and abilities.
I bring a calm, warm, and reliable presence into every home and am passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where children feel happy, secure, and truly cared for.
My Qualifications
I hold a Bachelor's Honours degree in Nursing and have completed extensive training relevant to childcare, including First Aid, Child Protection, Safe Guarding, Manual Handling, and CALMS (Crisis Aggression Limitation and Management) training. These qualifications equip me to provide safe, responsive, and professional care in a wide range of situations.
