I studied a bachelor of science degree in professional nursing for Children and Young People in Queen’s University Belfast and I qualified as a nurse in October 2022. Since then, I have worked in the Royal Victoria Hospital for sick children in Belfast. I worked full time in a 22 bedded general/ respiratory ward. Throughout this time I cared for multiple children, including those with complex needs. The ward in which I worked cared for children aged 0-17 so I am comfortable working with children between these ages. I also worked as a personal care assistant for a family at home in Ireland who had children that required specialised care and attention, such as medication management, enteral feeding and certain communication techniques. I am really passionate about generally making a positive impact on a child’s personal development. This can be achieved by assisting with school work, reading and engaging in playful activities that the children enjoy. I am also very happy to help with domestic tasks as required and did this when working for a family as a nanny in Ireland. I learnt to adapt to their lifestyle and ensured to cook, clean, be responsible for bath time and run personal errands to make their life easier where possible.
