Raquel Ervite Vera
Butterfly room (ECCE)
Hi My name is Raquel I have worked in childcare in Ireland for the last two years. One of the things that I like about working with children is that in addition to teaching them new things, I also learn from them everyday. Sometimes I feel like one more of them. In short, I think it is very gratifying to be able to accompany them in every step they take while in my care.

I really enjoy looking after young children and helping them to develop their skills so that they feel more independent and happier in their surroundings.
It gives me a lot of satisfaction to see the children in my care make progress, especially now that I have a toddler of my own which motivates me to treat them with care and respect.
