Hi!
I am an Irish primary school teacher with a passion for caring for children. I have experience with child care and tutoring for 8 years and would love to be a part of your family. Having grown up in a large family myself I understand the importance of nurturing and caring for each child and their individual needs. I am very organised and like keeping spaces clean. I am confident with meal prep, feeding, bedtime routines and keeping your child engaged and happy. I make it my priority to make children feel safe and comfortable in my care, and most of all to have fun!

"An absolute A+++ gorgeous sitter. We can’t thank Catherine enough for caring for our 2 year old son for 2 afternoons. He warmed to her instantly. They had a lovely time playing together, going to the park and she was very confident with meals and on the second day when our son got ill she was amazing with him. We hope to see Catherine again. "From Alice - St Kilda West

Special Needs Experience
I have experience with a range of SEN needs, I recognise that each child is unique and can adapt quickly to suit this. I am approachable, organised and nurturing, allowing me to care for children with unique needs.
Childcare Experience
I have always looked after children from a young age having grew up in a large family myself with younger siblings. I have been babysitting for families from the age of 16. Most recently as a primary school teacher with 3 years experience I pride myself on my ability to make children feel happy and safe in my care
Tutoring Experience
I have been tutoring for 4 years with children of a range of ages from 5-12. I have supported children with learning to read through phonological approaches, preparing for standardised testing, support with numeracy and maths, developing grammar and comprehension skills. I can discuss further with families to identify the point of need and identify steps to address these.
