Special Needs Care in Ballincollig

| Hello! I have hands-on experience working with children through my psychology degree internship at a special education school, where I spent two months supporting children with various disabilities, including ADHD, autism, cerebral palsy, and learning disabilities. Helping children grow, learn, and thrive is deeply fulfilling and central to who I am. I am passionate about making a positive impact in their lives and would love the opportunity to provide care, support, and encouragement to your family.

| Hello! I am a recently qualified occupational therapist (May 2020) looking to work as a childminder for children with autism. I am an enthusiastic, fun-loving person with a passion for helping children with special needs. I currently work as a speech and drama teacher specialising in social skills classes for children with autism. I have 4 years experience working with ASD and have completed 2 children's occupational therapy placements. I will be looking for a job as an occupational therapist after the summer but I would love to help some families before that, by offering childminding services. I live in the Waterfall/Bishopstown area and I have my own transport. I am available from mid June.

| I’m a qualified and experienced teacher. I have great experience in working with children with special educational needs. I am very caring and patient.

| I am patient, compassionate, and flexible, always adapting my approach to meet the individual’s needs and preferences. I understand the importance of consistency and routine and strive to provide a calm, supportive environment. Building trust is key in my approach, and I take pride in forming meaningful connections with those I care for. My focus is on promoting dignity, respect, and inclusion, and I am always eager to learn new techniques to better serve those in my care.
