I’m a joyful, people-loving person who thrives on learning, growth, and the beauty of meaningful connection. Laughter follows me wherever I go, and I treasure relationships that add depth, purpose, and warmth to life. God is my first love. I’m a wife to the most incredible husband — my anchor, encourager, and constant source of strength. I’m also a proud mom of four amazing children who continually inspire me. They are my joy, my motivation, and the heartbeat behind so much of what I do.
My journey in Early Childhood Development began in 2012, and it quickly became more than a career — it became a calling. Over the years, I’ve owned three Pienkvoet-Pret franchises in Middelburg, Witbank, and Pretoria, each one deepening my passion for understanding how little minds learn, grow, and discover the world. I believe that when children are nurtured through love, patience, and intentional guidance, their true potential unfolds in remarkable ways.
Today, I’m the proud owner of Baby Massage South Africa, where I teach parents one of the most powerful tools they already possess: loving touch. Baby massage supports bonding, stimulates healthy development, improves sleep and digestion, and builds a foundation of security and connection that lasts a lifetime. Watching parents grow in confidence and seeing babies flourish through this gentle practice is one of my greatest joys.
Having worked within NPOs and NGOs, I’ve developed a deep passion for empowering people from all walks of life. I believe education has the power to elevate individuals, families, and communities — and this belief continues to guide my work. My heart is anchored in the simple truth that when we uplift others, we help shape a better, kinder world.
Educate to elevate — it’s the mission that fuels everything I do.
Through my work and in collaboration with The Nanny Movement, I am dedicated to equipping nannies, au pairs, and early childhood assistants with real skills, confidence, and purpose. My heart is to help the caregivers in your home not only look after your little one with excellence, but to feel motivated, valued, and empowered to add meaningful support to your family’s daily life.
