Weekend Childcare Newcastle West

| I am an 18 yearold female student from Newcastle West Limerick. I have a passion for childcare. I have had experience in a crèche and a montessori every Friday for one school year. I have done babysitting for realatives and neighbours. I have also grown up with two younger brothers. I feel confident in my abilities it’s like second nature to me. I have attended first aid classes with the Irish Red Cross in Newcastle West and in school I have done a CPR and general first aid lesson. I know how to aid choking babies and young children also. I have had food safety and manual handling assessments in school and work. I enjoy spending time with children and working with children I find it really interesting so I would be overjoyed to have a chance to work with children again. I volunteered with a local montessori to attend a ‘school tour’ to the local park as a supervisor because with the amount of children they needed another body so the trip could go ahead. I am comfortable with pets in the home, I love animals. I am happy to help with tasks around the house and to prepare meals for children if you would like me to do so. I can present a reference at your request.

| I had looked after my cousin for many years. I started looking after her when she was 9 months. I cooked her meals and played with her while my aunt wasn't at home. I love interacting with kids, l like cooking and I also like to keep everything organized. I also worked as Au pair for an Irish family for 7 months. At the time the kids were 7 and 5 years old and a little baby boy aged 8 months old. I used to help the kids to get ready for school, give them breakfast. Sometimes pick them up from school and mind them until about 5 pm. Babysitting was required on some nights as well. At the moment I work as a childminder every Tuesday, minding 2 boys aged 10 and 9 after school. I'm attending English class Monday to Friday in the mornings, so I'm only available to work afternoons, evenings, and weekends.
