Solo mumma to a toddler

I’m a solo mumma to a toddler and work part time as a child and family worker in the community services sector. My little person and I are always either outside in the fresh air having slow, gentle days or adventuring to new places! I love all parenting styles and taking bits and pieces of wisdom from every parent that I meet. What works for myself and my child is to parent gently and calmly, consciously, curiously, and I aim to be strength-based, nature-based and child-led. I understand that each child learns differently and has their own unique needs and wants, and we would both love the pleasure of spending time with them and getting to know their uniqueness.

Welcome message:

Hi there! My name is Abi, I’m 16 years old and truly love working with and caring for kids. I am a current year 11 student at Lake Ginninderra college, and have experience working with children. I have done some casual babysitting and coach children’s basketball so I do have experience caring for kids. I am an engaging and fun person and positive influence for children. I have many of my own interests such as sports, music, nature and art, but enjoy participating in your child’s interests just as much. If your child enjoys doing something, I’m pretty much guaranteed to enjoy it too! I am also more than happy to help with homework or tutoring, I love teaching young minds new things and helping them learn and grow.
