About Me
I am a South African mum of two who has been living in New Zealand for 8 years.
I studied Early Childhood Education in 2019 and taught for a few years during studies and afterwards. I also run my own business from home as a Health Coach, helping people with their health and wellness goals. I absolutely love being in nature and living close to the beach. I love animals and live for my little family.
Now that both of my children are in school, I’ve found that I have the capacity to pour
myself into something that gives me purpose and something that I am passionate about, which is childcare. I love to watch children learn and grow in their own time when given
the right support and tools.

My Philosophy
I strongly believe in child-led learning. I am passionate about scaffolding children through their interests and passions and extending on what they find enjoyable. I love to observe their interests and then expand on that. I believe that children are capable of learning at their own pace and will reach every level when they are ready, with the right support. I love watching children learn through nature play and exploring what they can do with their bodies.
My Environment
I have a warm, sunny home and will provide a homely space in my lounge, kitchen and a sleep room. I have a big outdoors section with plenty of space to run, kick balls and enjoy some messy play in the summer times. I have plenty of resources and toys like blocks, books, kitchen and family play, cars, and crafts from having my own children.
My Training
I am a fully qualified Early Childhood Educator with a graduate diploma in ECE.
