Childcare in Temple Bar

| Hi, I am Anna, I am 19 years old and I minded my little brother (10 years younger than me) since he was born. I offered student tuition for primary schoolers when I was older, so I have experience in teaching and creative learning. I also spent one year as an AuPair near Paris, where I cared for two children (3 and 6). I walked them to school abd picked them up, helped with homework, cooked (sometimes with them), did night housework, and did loads of indoor and outdoor activities with them. I also took care of up to 4 children when they had friends over. We spent a one week holiday without the parents, which taught me so much responsiblity, self-reliance and confidence in all possible situations. What I love most about childcare is that every day is different and that we have fun together, it's not a one-way road! I love being creative, telling and hearing stories, inventing games and being invited to new ideas and imaginary worlds. ^^

| One of my proudest accomplishments is graduating from Snowball the snow monster to Olaf, as decreed by a rather precocious 4year old. Every family member was a designated Frozen character, and to be Olaf was a high honor; weeks of chalk drawings, snacks, and playing make-believe had culminated in this momentous moment. In all seriousness, I have spent years baby sitting and nannying all ages, from 4-month-old twins to pre-teens (though my favorite age is 0-1!). I can cook a full dinner with an infant strapped to my chest and a two-year-old sprinting circles around my legs (which I really think should be an Olympic sport), name at least 2/3 of the most common dinosaurs, and even draw a half-decent cartoon princess. I am additionally certified in CPR (adult and infant) through the American Red Cross. Outside of childcare: I am originally from California, but currently a Master’s student studying at Trinity College. I also do wedding and family photography, play a handful of sports, love pets, speak Italian, and bake some excellent cinnamon rolls. Would love to chat with you about how I may be able to help your family!

| Hello! My name is Debora, and I have experience caring for children from 0 to 7 years old, including infants and twins. I’m originally from Brazil and currently living in Ireland, where I’m always looking for new opportunities to work in what I love: taking care of and supporting the development of little ones. I am dynamic, caring, and patient. Over the years, I have learned the importance of respecting each child’s individuality and understanding their needs. I’m dedicated, value the bond of love and respect created when caring for children, and I am organized, keeping a structured routine while always prioritizing the child’s safety and well-being. I have references from families I’ve worked with and can adapt my caregiving style to meet each family’s expectations. I’m happy to assist with daily tasks, including meals, educational games, outdoor activities, and keeping the child’s space organized. If you’re looking for someone reliable and passionate about caregiving, I’d be delighted to chat and get to know your family!

| My name is Xin , and I'm a first year medical student at the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland. Pediatrics and working with children has always been a great passion of mine, hence this job and the many other part-time positions I have had in regards to childcare. I also volunteer a lot with children, both within the hospital and beyond. I grew up babysitting my two brothers, and I held several part time babysitting jobs back in my country (Malaysia) up until the past year, when I moved to Dublin. I have cared for children under 5 months old and those older as well. I'm pretty easy-going, and I am willing to do anything I can to help. I'm okay with pets (in fact, I am a HUGE animal lover). I look forward to meeting with you! :)
