Sarah’s Professional Experience

After leaving university, Sarah took up a career in Social Work, working as a House Parent in a residential children’s home, where she was involved in the day to day care of children, many of whom had been traumatised by neglect, abuse and loss.  After five years Sarah was married and had the first of her three children.

Sarah has been raising her children for the last eighteen years, but in recent years she has been taking on some part time work.  She has worked as a Speech Therapy assistant (helping children with delayed speech or phonic difficulties), as a Rainbows group facilitator (Rainbows is a voluntary organisation that works with children who are grieving a death, divorce or other painful transition in their family) and up until recently she has been working as a Childcare Assistant at Orahova Montessori School in Greystones.  During this time she has been studying locally, updating all her childcare qualifications.

Sarah feels that family life, her qualifications and her work over the years means that she has gained a great deal of experience of interacting with children and babies.  Sarah discovered Baby Sensory through her sister Jane, in England, who attended classes in Kent with her baby daughter Maddie.  Her sister was thrilled to find a class catering for her baby’s development that was fun to attend and offered so much variety.  At the time Sarah had been hoping to start a new venture involving babies and/or young children, so Baby Sensory immediately appealed to her.

She is now very excited to be the first Baby Sensory teacher in Ireland and can’t wait to start her classes in County Wicklow.  In her own words: “It will be a delight to see young babies respond and learn through play”.
