My Summary
About Me
I was a paramedic for the British red cross and worked in the a&e Ulster hospital for 6 years .
I've always worked in healthcare and child-care my whole working life.
I also worked in a school as a learning support assistant for 4 years.
I'm 41 years old and a proud mum to two children—a 16-year-old son and a 12-year-old daughter. I am fully registered with the Northern Ireland Social Services Trust Gateway, providing reassurance that I meet all the required standards for working with children and families.
My Experience
I hold a BTEC National Diploma in Children's Care, Learning and Development.
My career has always revolved around caring for children, from babysitting to working in schools and nurseries. I have enjoyed working for many different families as a nanny caring for children from new born to 14 years.
I have experience in sleep training and potty training, helping you to establish and maintain a routine in your home whilst promoting the child's independence.

Catriona is such a natural with children! Currently caring for my 8 year old daughter, I couldn’t have got any luckier it’s like home from home! My daughter clicked with Catriona straight away, she is very maternal and has a real passion for children! I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my daughter 💜

We could not have asked for a better experience with Catriona.
Quick response to our job, she was more than willing to come for a interview.
She was confident, professional and got on brilliantly with our child.
Sent through all her checks and details which put us at ease and was really receptive to our needs.
Could not recommend her enough and will definitely be requesting her services in the future.
