About Sinead

27 years old Speaks English
Hi! To begin with, I have worked with children in different capacities since 2013 however, I have two years experience of working with special needs and intellectual disabilities. My experience in disabilities comes mainly from my time as a special needs counsellor at a summer camp in New York. Im looking for work on Care.com because I’d really like to work 1-1 with someone as I enjoy building bonds with the people I care for - I appreciate the time it takes to understand someone and then constantly improving the way I care for them. The best part of my experiences at summer camp were being able to bond with so many different campers and being able to know how to respond to their needs just through spending time with them. Im really hoping to work 1-1 with someone to provide the best care possible and to also make their day to day activities run as smoothly as possible. I’m no stranger to working extremely long hours i.e my typical shifts have been 7am-11pm with a day off every 12 days, im comfortable and great with all aspects of personal care but most of all I have found myself to be able to easily adapt to new situations. Currently, I am working full time and I am using care.com to offer my help on days off and weekends.

Sinead provided care for our now 13 year old son who has a genetic condition, autism, adhd and violent and challenging behaviour. Sinead was absolutely brilliant and more importantly, our son completely trusted and got on well with her. Whether we were all going out together, or staying at home, Sinead was great with ALL or kids but she just had that special ability to bring our son out of his attacks, which was exactly what we were looking for. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sinead for any Carer position, especially with children with special needs.
