🌟 Educator of the Year Regional Winner 🌟
I am beyond humbled and honoured to share that I have been awarded Educator of the Year – Regional Winner 2025 by Family Day Care Australia. 💙
This recognition means so much more than an award to me. To all the families whose beautiful children I’ve had the privilege of caring for throughout my career – 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. 💕
Since opening Care Bears Family Day Care in 2021, we’ve come a long way – from transforming our little garage space into a warm, welcoming learning environment that many family day carers can only dream of. It’s been a true community effort, and together we’ve built something so special.
To all the children, past and present, who I’ve had the honour of looking after – you are the reason I do what I do. This isn’t just a job for me; it’s my passion, my heart, and my life’s work.
Thank you all for being part of this journey – here’s to many more years of learning, growing, and making memories together. 💫
