A little about me: I am a wife of 23 years and a proud mother to two wonderful sons, aged 15 and 21. My youngest is currently in Year 10, while my eldest is studying and working full-time. Both are highly independent young men. Twenty-two years ago, I discovered the Montessori philosophy and immediately fell in love with its holistic approach to education, independence, and respect for the child. I not only raised both of my sons using Montessori principles but also worked as a Montessori educator and teacher for over 21 years with children from birth to six years of age before relocating to Melbourne. Over the past 28 years, I have worked with children ranging from newborns to teenagers in both professional and personal capacities, including roles as a nanny, babysitter, au pair, family day care provider, Montessori teacher, and parent facilitator. I also spent two years in the United States as a live-in au pair caring full-time for five children, including two-year-old twins and children aged 5, 7, and 11. Throughout my career, I have found immense joy and fulfilment in helping children feel safe, valued, capable, and loved.

Hi there 😊 Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I genuinely love spending time with children, and I've worked with all ages. From newborns to teenagers. I’ve had a lot of experience with babies and toddlers so I'm very comfortable and confident with feeding, bathing, changing, and bedtime routines.

I love being outdoors and an average day with me usually includes a walk to the local park, nature reserve, cafe, or at the very least a run around the backyard.
