I am Buddhist considering monastic life. I am also caring and advocating for my dis/abled brother. I’ve been a performing artist my adult career. As well as worked in mental health and education. I’m passionate about critical psychiatry. I’ve often felt more at home with kids than adults. I have a history of working as an arts facilitator in early childhood centres, and at Shopfront Arts Co. I’ve cared for children over my adult life. I appreciate being an adult that embodies ethics, and giving that example to young people. I’m very curious about meeting non-speaking Autistic children, those with Apraxia if there are any out here?! I identify as Autistic.

Childcare Experience

I have been babysitting since I was a teenager, I spent 10months as a live in au-pair which was a good learning experience, we differed in many ways and that meant that we were challenged to learn from eachother and how to live together. I then worked with children in arts settings creating a musical with 30 7-11 year olds at Shopfront and working at the Sydney Opera House in the foyer on school holidays as shows came out facilitating creative play time. I then worked for a child care company as I wanted to learn how to manage large numbers of children and learn how to respect myself by gaining respect from others. I worked briefly for Camp Australia and then for Squiggler Academy in after school care. I went to Iceland and in a small town I worked with some kids designing games for wellbeing. Then returnrd to work at Shopfront Arts Co as a drama teacher for 7-11 yr olds. I then worked as a music and drama educator for infants in early childhood education.

Tutoring Experience

I would like to offer ETHICS and MINDFULNESS tutoring for all ages. 14 years into practice I feel confident in doing this. And also feel that these are vitals missing and contributing to the mental health epidemic. In regards to singing, I taught singing one on one when I was in my early 20s. Since then I have been as a working professional in performing arts. I have spent some time teaching group classes with Shopfront arts co. And at Early Childhood education centres for all their age groups.
