Hi!

I hope everyone is settling into the year. I am enjoying my long service and being able to spend more time with my family and get away on some adventures with them and friends. I am also spending time watching movies, reading and have taken up stand up paddle boarding and pilates. I would really love to be able to play the guitar so am working on this during my time off.

I love being part of the amazing Staverton team and working with such passionate educators and staff. I also love getting to know the families that help to make our beautiful Staverton community.

I look forward to returning to Kabarla class in term 2!

Hi!

I like to go for a jog on bush tracks in the evening after work. My favourite holiday activity is a rainforest hike. I also enjoy growing things - my family calls me a green thumb and I have a garden full of vegetables. 

​

At Staverton each year, I like best of all to welcome new families - to give them a feeling of belonging to the fabulous Staverton community.

Hi! 

I love to use my hands creatively and am sometimes called “Bob the Builder” at Staverton as I am often called to fix things!  My relaxation hours are spent playing tennis and taking my mini schnauzer “Angus” for walks.  I can spend many hours in my garden and watching my native bees. 

The warmth and community spirit of Staverton is unique and I feel lucky to be apart of it and contribute to its continuing goals to exceed.

Hi!

I have been working in the early childhood sector for 11 years, since relocating from Brazil. I like to introduce my culture in activities with the children. I love watching the children grow, learn, explore and develop socially. I have a son and daughter in primary school and one of our favourite things to do on weekends is stay at the beach. In my spare time I enjoy running, swimming and riding and training for events with a group of friends.

I am excited to be working at Staverton and looking forward to meeting the new families.

Hi!

These are my top favourite things in no particular order!

1. My beautiful, loud, busy family.

2. My dog. She's an old girl who loves long sniffy walks.

3. Going to the beach and swimming, walking and reading all day. Bliss!

Hi!

I LOVE to shop. But I am exceptionally good at online shopping!!

My favourite place to be is anywhere on a beach enjoying the sun and salt water.

I love listening to music. Especially ones from when I was in school, but my children think it’s so daggy.

​

I am lucky to be part of the Staverton Kindy team. I love meeting new families and their children each year and it’s exciting when we get to see their younger siblings come to kindy when they are older enough.
