๐ Educator of the Year Regional Winner ๐
I am beyond humbled and honoured to share that I have been awarded Educator of the Year โ Regional Winner 2025 by Family Day Care Australia. ๐
This recognition means so much more than an award to me. To all the families whose beautiful children Iโve had the privilege of caring for throughout my career โ thank you for trusting me. Your children have filled my days with laughter, joy, and purpose. To my family and friends, your love and encouragement have been my rock.
A special mention goes to my mum, who is no longer with us but who first shared this passion with me and started me on my childcare journey. I know she would be so proud today. ๐
Since opening Care Bears Family Day Care in 2021, weโve come a long way โ from transforming our little garage space into a warm, welcoming learning environment that many family day carers can only dream of. Itโs been a true community effort, and together weโve built something so special.
To all the children, past and present, who Iโve had the honour of looking after โ you are the reason I do what I do. This isnโt just a job for me; itโs my passion, my heart, and my lifeโs work.
Thank you all for being part of this journey โ hereโs to many more years of learning, growing, and making memories together. ๐ซ
