A little bit about me…

While pursuing my PhD, I’ve been working as a babysitter for several American families in Dublin, Ireland. Through this experience, I discovered how much I enjoy taking care of children, which has inspired me to take a break from academia to focus on being a full-time caregiver. I also bring extensive experience in STEM and naturalist outreach, having worked with children ages 5-17 in various educational settings. I’m an avid yogi, and in addition to my passion for childcare, I have a strong academic background, with a bachelor’s degree in physics and I am currently completing my PhD at a medical university in Dublin. I’m excited to combine my love for education, wellness, and childcare in a full-time role.
