Does the information re the two baptism certificates and the nuns come from your family history?

I am puzzled re 3 Berkeley Street which seems to be a private house. I don’t understand the connection to nuns.

There is a Margaret Burke who is a midwife in the census.

Yes ...Margaret burke was resident in 1922.... I think its to do with berkeley road parish and the nuns .... it was a private home for having babies... so Margaret burke was on the baptism cert as being the sponsor ... but she was getting paid. I think the baptism record came from the nuns in St joseph Church?

Then the records went to saint patricks guild and now I presume with Tusla ...

I'm going to need to take a break from it for awhile as after 7 days straight ...I'm losing my mind

Yes, I think you are right.
There are some newspaper snippets on Find My Padt, Irish newspapers. I can’t read them but can see what may be advertisements re ‘Trained Nurses Home’ at 3 Berkeley Street. These are 1916 /1917 in the Irish Independent.
