About Emmie
Hello! My name is Amalia (Emmie) Lekkas, and I’m an experienced childcare professional based in Westport, Co. Mayo. I have over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged, both in Ireland and the U.S. I hold Level 5 and 6 qualifications in Early Childhood Care and Education and have worked as a Preschool Room Leader and Afterschool Manager, creating engaging, nurturing, and structured environments for children to learn and grow. My background also includes Applied Social Studies and Psychology, giving me a strong understanding of child development and emotional well-being. I’m passionate about fostering a sense of safety, creativity, and connection in every child I care for. I love planning activities that encourage imagination, confidence, and independence — whether that’s arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading, or mindful relaxation. I’m also a certified yoga instructor, and I often incorporate gentle movement and mindfulness into daily routines when appropriate. Families describe me as kind, dependable, and calm under pressure, with a natural ability to connect with children and create a positive, consistent atmosphere. I’m also fully Garda-vetted, first-aid aware, and comfortable managing household routines and school runs. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your child with warmth, patience, and professionalism, I’d love to chat and see if we might be a good fit.
