About Me

I’m a yoga teacher and creative with an MSc in Psychology and a background that spans wellness, crisis care, and the arts. I’ve lived and worked across the UK and Australia, and I bring warmth, curiosity, and genuine presence to every family I work with.

I've been in the caring profession for 11 years, with experience caring for children aged 6 months to 18 years, and vulnerable adults. I take a trauma-informed approach to care that comes from real experience, including crisis casework with the Australian Red Cross, where I supported people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. That work shaped how I show up for children: with steadiness, attunement, and a deep respect for what each human is carrying.

My background in psychology means I understand how children develop, how they process the world, and how to meet them where they are - especially kids who think, feel, or experience life a little differently.

I’m experienced with neurodivergent children and deeply committed to creating spaces where every child feels safe to be exactly who they are.

Creativity is central to how I live and how I nurture. I’m a trained yoga teacher and weave movement, breathwork, and mindfulness into daily life in age-appropriate, playful ways. I’m also a passionate and confident cook; equally at home preparing nourishing meals across all dietary needs, whether that’s plant-based, allergen-aware, or anything else your family requires. Good food, to me, is part of good care.

I’m drawn to families who value open conversation, emotional intelligence, and raising children with a broad, curious view of the world. I feel most at home with people who are thoughtful about how they live, whether that’s through spirituality, creativity, alternative education philosophies, or simply a deep care for authenticity.

I’m open to travelling with the right family - whether that’s extended trips, relocations, or international adventures. Adaptability comes naturally to me, and I would love to facilitate your child's natural curiosity and eagerness to explore the world.

From my experience spanning working in a crisis to supporting adolescents reintegrate into society, I know how to stay calm in a crisis, to balance care with direction and to support you with maintaining a stable household where your children will flourish. So, if you’re looking for someone who will love your children thoughtfully, grow with your family, and bring real depth to the role, I’d love to hear from you.
