My name in Maeve, I am a 23 year old female from Ireland who recently moved to Sydney. I am a fully qualified primary school teacher with a strong passion for childcare, education and supporting children's development and well-being. With a Master’s degree in Primary Education, extensive experience as a nanny, and a background in tutoring and after-school learning support, I am passionate about fostering young children’s growth and development in nurturing and engaging environments. My academic training in primary education deepened my understanding of childhood development, lesson planning, and behavior management, which I applied while providing after-school learning support and tutoring. I have experience working with children at varying developmental stages, tailoring my approach to meet their unique academic and social needs. These opportunities have honed my ability to build trust, instill confidence, and inspire a love for learning. In my role as a nanny, I cultivated strong bonds with children and their families, designing creative activities to support early learning while ensuring each child felt safe and valued. This hands-on experience taught me how to adapt to children’s individual needs and manage dynamic daily routines effectively.
Experience assisting in a schools Special education needs unit.
I have been working with children for the past three years, gaining valuable experience in caring for and engaging with kids of various ages, ranging from toddlers as young as one year old to preteens up to 12 years old. During this time, I have developed strong skills in creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment tailored to each child's unique needs. Whether assisting with early childhood development, helping with homework, organizing fun and educational activities, or ensuring daily routines run smoothly, I am committed to providing attentive and compassionate care to support both children and their families.
As a qualified primary school teacher I have been tutoring on and off for the past few years. I have experience tutoring children across various age groups, helping them build confidence and excel in their academic subjects. I have worked with students in subjects such as math, reading, writing, and science, tailoring my approach to their individual learning styles and needs. My tutoring sessions focus on making learning engaging and accessible, whether through interactive activities, structured lesson plans, or personalized study strategies. Beyond academics, I also emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, and organizational skills to support long-term success. My goal is to create a supportive and encouraging learning environment where children feel motivated to reach their full potential.
