A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Karen, and I am originally from Mexico. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Education and I am currently studying Montessori training. I love working with children and helping them grow through positive guidance, creativity, and hands-on activities.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to support children in both languages if families are interested. With my background in education, I enjoy preparing fun, engaging, and age-appropriate activities that encourage independence and learning.

Families usually describe me as patient, caring, and reliable. I also love to bring in arts, music, and outdoor play whenever possible.

I am looking for a family that values kindness, respect, and a nurturing environment, and I would be happy to support your children as they learn and grow.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m KiLeyah. I have over 5 years of nanny experience, mainly with infants and toddlers.

I grew up in a family involved in foster care, so being around kids has always been a big part of my life and naturally led me into childcare.

I focus on creating consistent routines, supporting sleep and feeding, and helping children feel settled and comfortable throughout the day. I’m very comfortable with naps, transitions, and keeping things running smoothly.

Families describe me as calm, attentive, and reliable. I’m currently looking for a part-time or full-time position and recently had some availability open up. I’m based in Dublin and open to nearby areas.

Happy to provide references, and I’d love to connect!
