Activity summary
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.
