I’m Anna, mum of 2 girls, Emily and Lottie and due with number three in July! Originally from Essex, I moved to Australia for a few months back in 2011 and ended up staying here! We’re currently living in Randwick & I run my own Healthcare Recruitment Agency, Health Personnel; www.healthpersonnel.com.au and connect many allied health staff from the UK and Ireland with roles here in Aus! A lot of my clients offer sponsorship around the Eastern Suburbs which is the best place to be right? As a working mum life is certainly hectic and is about to become a little more crazy for the forseeable but I wouldn’t change it for the world! (although ask me again in a few months when the sleep deprivation is at a high!) 
Where and how long have you lived in Sydney’s east?
I’ve lived in the East for about 11 years since I arrived in Australia. Currently in Randwick where we’ve been for 5 years.
