About ClaireBack to Top
Hi there. I’m a married Mum of 45 years of age, which I guess would class me as a Mature woman. :) I have an 8 year old and a 7 year old and have some experience with additional needs. I started babysitting 7 years ago in local Hotels and discovered that I really ‘’get’’ children of all ages. Whether it’s their honesty, their humour or their love of life, they relax with me and tend to have fun. I have been given the name Mary Poppins by many of those who return to Kenmare a few times and ask for me in advance. I guess maybe that’s because I know how hard it is to leave my own two children and trust them with someone I don’t know. I try and remember patience, warmth and genuine affection for anyone I look after. That might be the two year old who cries for Mum; the 8 year old who wanted to stay at the party or even the 6 month old who has started teething. I try and care for them like I would my own two kids. I am Garda Vetted and do some volunteering work locally. I have a Pediatric First Aid Certificate and cope well under pressure. I don’t panic and will always contact you if ever there is am emergency situation or your child is very distressed. I can be trusted to put their care first. I have quite a substantial kit that I carry with me - colouring; stickers; mazes; words searches; paper collage; painting at times; up to date movies and of course the very important bedtime story. (I still love Julia Donaldson!). I also love to laugh sounds corny, but it’s true! If I can help at all, please pick up the phone and we can have a chat and I’ll answer any questions that I can. You won’t know unless you ask. Take care and hope to meet you and your family soon. Claire. Some feedback from families who use me time and time again. ‘’I don’t trust anyone with my two Claire, it’s such a relief to be able to come down and enjoy a night out and switch off knowing they’re in good hands with you.’’ ‘’They talk about the time they had with you all the way home and still for days afterwards. We feel like asking sometimes if you would come home with us!’’ ‘’Knowing you will text us a few times when we’re out and away from them is truly a Godsend! Thank you. It helps me to switch off.’’ ‘’I really do wish you lived closer. They actually miss you and when we return for holidays in Kenmare, they ask every time, will you please go out and ask Claire to come over. I don’t know whether to be insulted or pleased.’’
