I’m a 21 year old student nurse from Dublin and I usually work part time as a healthcare assistant. I’ve had many years of experience caring and minding for children’s from my friends and families and I thought to actually have a professional job as a child minder as I’ve also had some experience in CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health service) I love being around children and looking after them and being able to share my loving personality with kids as they honestly bring some much joy and happiness even though it can be stressful at time but it’s important to remember it’s a natural thing and they are just simply being kids. As a child minder, I get to spend my days playing games, reading stories, and making sure the kids are safe and most importantly that they feel safe (emotionally and physically) and happy. It's truly such a joy to see them grow and learn every day! I’ve cared for babies who were usually around 4/5 months old and up to children/ young teenagers aged 14/15 years old age.
