Hi! My name is Maria. I live in Athenry with my boyfriend and his family. I’ve been working in childcare for over 10 years. I’ve nannied for families with children ages 3 months to 12 years old; I’ve taught theater and creative movement courses to preschool aged children; I have worked as an Instructional Assistant and Substitute Teacher for students in preschool and primary schools; I have worked as a Special Education Instructional Assistant and I have experience in assisting children with multiple disabilities. I am currently earning a bachelors degree online in Elementary and Special Education. I love inspiring children to learn, at any age. I am a very creative person and I try to encourage all children I work with to be creative in their own ways. I can help children with schoolwork, I can facilitate different creative activities and crafts, and I also have experience as a housekeeper so I can perform various housekeeping tasks as well.
