My name is Katie, I am 29 years old and I’m from Ireland. I am a motivated and enthusiastic person. Walking, swimming, baking, reading, music and art are just some of my passions. I am a qualified primary school teacher and I’ve taught children from 5 years to 12 years. My role as a teacher required patience, kindness, empathy, honesty, communication skills and creativity. These are all skills in which I can utilise as the role of a nanny here in Australia. Over the years, I’ve worked with children through work experience in a pre-school with children aged 3 years to 5 years. Here I co-ordinated activities and worked on the smooth transition to primary school for some of the children. I have babysat the same children at home who aged from 6 months to 7 years old and continued to look after them some weekends before I left. This role included day care as well as over night work. During July and August when I’m off from my teaching job, I’ve delivered 1:1 tutoring to children. I’ve worked closely with children with special educational needs. I am looking forward to meeting new families here in Australia.
