I worked at Southern Cross hospital, running my own little crèche. I did that for a while and then I was approached by the matron to aupair for her. I was out of work then, but couldn’t see myself NOT working with children. Shortly after I found out my son had a learning disability. I took him for O.T. and learnt a lot about how to work with special needs children. I started working again and ran into some family difficulties, deciding to resign. I enrolled to study further and in 2016 I started my own ECD centre.
Children need to have a safe, reliable place where they can come everyday. While they are with me they can be children, free to practice being independent. I wake up every morning with the idea in my head that I’m going to teach my children something new that day.
