Working with tamariki is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.  Each day is different and it keeps you on your toes and I love it!
I have been part of the early childhood sector since 2010 and have been here at Giggles since 2013.
I am married to my wonderful husband Donny and I am one of 6 siblings. I have two handsome nephews and one beautiful niece.  I love music, fishing, rugby league and being outdoors.
​Tēnā koutou kātoa.
