I am proud of the quality care I provide & the positive relationships formed with the families I work with.
Dear Parents.
My name is Rochelle,
I was raised in Wellington from the age of 7, prior to that I was born in Whanganui in 1972, and have recently returned to this beautiful, warm city.
From a young age I've had the drive and passion to work alongside children.
I have many years experience in both childcare centres as teacher, and children's homes as Nanny Rochelle.
I am skilled at providing fun, meaningful experiences that extend children's in-depth knowledge, their sense of self and how they see the world.
My love for nature is often reflected in my work, however its the children's intetests I follow and base planning on, while considering all the family's views and ways.
Communication is key and we share our journey.

Hello Parents.
My started my career in working alongside children during my late teens. I was amongst the first group of students to graduate from Wellington Nannies College. While nannying, I completed level 3 (Te Maunga) Playcentre training. I went on to gain my Bachelor of Education through Victoria Universit, and when I became a registered teacher, i supported other students as their associate teacher. My professional development is continuous, and also includes current 1st aid certification (bith physical & mental health 1st aid).
Hi, I'm Amy! I’m a 19-year-old Bachelor of Early Childhood Education student with a genuine passion for childcare. I already hold my Level 5 Diploma, which means I bring professional experience and a lot of energy to every family I work with. I’m fully police-vetted, love animals, and am dedicated to making sure your little ones are safe, happy, and having fun while you’re away!
