I trained to become an instructor in 2007.
I also have three children myself and we have lived in Stepaside and Mount Merrion.
I have done volunteer work with the HSE on the Community Mothers Programme for 5 years. It is a parenting programme where local parents like me call out to first time parents with information and give support.
As a result I have almost 2 decades of experience helping parents and their children.
As I started working with new parents back in 2007 I quickly recognised that this was an area I loved and continued my training so I could work with older children and their families, incorporating my interest in touch and movement in the children’s development.
