About ElenaBack to Top
Hello, I am a qualified post-primary MFL teacher with experience working part-time as an on-call and after-school babysitter during my studies, including occasional weekend babysitting. I mainly have experience with children of 2 and 5 - 6 years old, boys and girls. I enjoy spending time with children, playing together, going for walks, going to the playgrounds or the beach when the weather is nice. Once I’ll build a good connection with children (which often just takes a bit of time), it will be easy and I’m happy when they enjoy playing without screens. As a teacher, I understand how challenging it can be for parents and educators to manage screen time, so I always try to suggest fun, creative activities that don’t involve devices. I can also help with their homework and prepare a simple meal. *Just to clarify: While I support children during homework time and help with small tasks like preparing their homework area or checking their homework journal, tutoring is a separate service for me. (Tutoring is a separate service for me. If a child requires structured academic support or is struggling with school subjects, this is considered tutoring, which I offer at a different rate. I provide tutoring on a one-to-one basis only, with no other children under my supervision at the same time. In the past, I have worked with children with learning difficulties, which required my full attention and a focused, personalised approach.) I also offer grinds in the two languages I am qualified to teach at both JC and LC level and my rates change depending on the level. Ideally, I’m looking for another family with whom I can work on fixed days or regular weekend hours. If you need someone to pick up your child or children in the afternoons 2 -3 days a week, provide after-school care around Portmarnock or offer reliable last-minute evening or overnight cover, I believe we could be a great match. My availability: from the start of September. Please feel free to contact me if you’re interested. Please, when you write, it’s important to include the days and times you require, as well as the location (distance from Portmarnock or Malahide, school or home). This helps me organise my schedule and see if I can help and work with your family. Before confirming any new commitments, I will need to check my availability, as I prioritise the families I already work with. Certifications: Garda Vetting: Completed as part of my registration as a post-primary teacher in Ireland (renewed every 3 years, as required by law). Children First Training: Certified by Tusla. Paediatric Airway Obstruction Relief Course (2.5 hours): Certified by the Italian Red Cross, June 2025.
