About me
I am a single mum to an 18 and 13-year-old. I am a nurturer and have an innate interest in children and their development. I have been working with children over 20 years in different countries. I am quite adventurous and like to try new things whether it be food or sport.
I grew up on a farm in South Africa and I love the outdoors. My best memories as a child were the freedom to explore. Climbing rocks, exploring a new den in the woods, discovering tadpoles by the river, looking after the animals, making our own slingshots and coming home filthy and grazed knees. Those were the days! (I still do this with my teenagers!) To be able to give that experience to children in today’s “mad rush” is magical! Seeing our children, even the “Bunnies” grow in confidence and their smiley faces, are priceless!
I love being part of this dedicated team and laying a sound foundation for happy, confident little individuals.
