Hello everyone- my name is Jill and I am posting this on behalf of my amazing mum- Trinh! Mum isn’t super fast on the computer so I will be managing messages but directing calls to her. About mum: Trinh- 56- Vietnamese Australian- mother of 2. My mum is an incredible woman. Even in her 50’s, she is healthy and is always energised by the kids she’s looked after. She keeps young and brings so much joy to the people around her. Mum was a primary school teacher in Vietnam before she migrated to Australia in 1994. She loved teaching and would have done this forever had she not had to leave. I was born at the refugee camp in Malaysia where both mum and dad lived for 5 years. Their resilience and bravery has shaped who I am today. Back to mum: mum is one of the most compassionate, warm, kind, generous and most caring women ever. She raised my brother and I; so she was a full time mum (the best mum) for years and went back into study and childcare work in the last 15 years. Mum studied at Victoria University for a bit where did she Early Childhood Education. Her absolute passion is kids and the families who have been lucky to know her have adored her. She currently has full availability. She is also happy to do light cleaning and if needed, she can also cook super delicious and nutritious Vietnamese/ Asian lunches/ dinner. Mum is definitely comfortable with taking the kids to parks/ any other extra curricular activities. Fyi: Her english is competent. She does have an accent but both my brother and I speak to her in english. She can communicate and is so careful, she will always double or triple check with you if there is any confusion! Her last family would be happy to give a reference too. Extra info: About me: (Trinh’s daughter) I am a graduate of the University of Melbourne and I currently work in film and television. Please message me or email me if you’d like to connect and I will pass you onto mum! Email: jilliannguyen92@gmail.com
