Elga, garde enfant à Eglinton BT47

My name is Elga . I am a graduate of Queen's University Belfast. I graduated with a Bachelor of Library and Information Studies Degree with commendation in English. I worked for 25 years in both the Western and Belfast Education and Library Boards and then to the private sector. Positions I held over this time included: Branch Library Manager; Senior Schools' Librarian, Staff Development and Training Manager and People and Development Specialist. I then decided to commence childminding in my own home in 2009, looking after babies aged 6 months and over, toddlers, nursery and primary school children aged 5-6 years. I also work with children from local schools in the Eglinton area on a one-to-one basis helping them with reading difficulties, putting to full use my professional status as a qualified librarian and English graduate. I love books, storytelling to children and linguistic phonics. I am a professionally trained singer and have won numerous prizes for singing and public speaking at local festivals. I also play the piano for children. Having acquired over 6 years experience looking after children has enabled me to gain tremendous experience and wonderful interaction. It has also enabled me to put to full use my own maternal instincts.

Ideally, I would now love to look after children in their own home setting/environment from 8.30am/9.00am - 3.00pm Monday - Friday.
