About MelissaBack to Top
Hi there, (Please note,I'm only able to work school terms Monday to Friday 9.30-2) I am a qualified, Garda vetted childcare professional who loves working with children and being involved in their development. As a nanny and child minder, I quickly bonded with the children I was with and earned their love and trust. I have a wealth of patience and a strong desire to learn and grow. With these traits, I have proven to be a valued employee in the past and I am confident that I will be an asset to you as well. My most recent experience includes working in a crèche as a floater and also working with a child with Autism in the ECCE room. Before this I was doing agency work in various creches, and in another creche with a child with Down Syndrome, which I found both rewarding and challenging. With this I have gained knowledge not only from the child I was helping, but the room leaders, parents and her speech therapist, who I liaised with daily. I have experience with Downs Syndrome, ADHD, Children's Anxiety, Autism and knowledge of Dyspraxia. I keep up to date on these subjects and am always looking for alternative ways to help children with their requirements that would best suit them and their individual needs. After taking a career break from [removed] to raise my own children, I attended Dundrum CFE as a mature student and completed a one year course in Childcare with Additional Needs where I graduated with an overall distinction. I have also successfully completed Level 6 Special Needs online through Portobello with a distinction as well. I have a natural mothering instinct, along with empathy, kindness and an understanding which enables me to help and see what children may be feeling and need in various circumstances. I look forward to hearing from you. Melissa
