Hello, my name is Aoife Phelan and I am a primary school teacher from Ireland! With extensive experience in babysitting, nannying, and working in camp settings, I am comfortable managing both small and large groups of children. I have specialized experience supporting children with special needs, including Down syndrome and autism, and I am confident in adapting activities to meet their individual needs. I have a deep love for sports and spend much of my free time playing camogie, Gaelic football, soccer, and tennis. When I’m not playing sports I love cooking and baking! I love to be creative in the kitchen and trying new recipes and flavours!
Graduate Certificate in Autism Studies Specialism in Special Education
I have been looking after children for over 10 years in positions such as summer camps, babysitting, nannying, afterschool clubs, coaching teams and of course working as a primary school teacher. I have worked extensively with Down Sydrome Ireland in both paid and volunteer roles where I created social groups for children to mix and facilitated and organised summer camps for them. I have worked as a primary school teacher for 4 years with kids from all types of schools such as single sex, rural schools and special schools
I have been tutoring for over 4 years. I worked with primary school aged children to provided support with numeracy and literacy. I also worked with a secondary school student from age 12 to 17 to work on his Irish (Gaeilge).
