I treat your children how I'd treat my own. I create a safe, gentle and loving environment. But that doesn't mean I am a pushover, the rules parents set are the rules I use.

I can get silly and don't mind embarrassing myself a little if it means I make my kids laugh. I can turn a boring Cafe lunch into fun with napkin aeroplanes, I don't mind listening the Wiggles or catching up on Bluey episodes.

As I've said above, it takes a village to raise children. We have lost that as a society and I believe it should be a major part of it. I love working with children because it's rewarding to see them grow and smile.
