Monday’s Local Mum, Karolina Vilar

April 14, 2025

Hi, I’m Karolina! I was born in Poland, but Sydney has been my home for over 20 years now.

For the last three years, I’ve dedicated my life to our family, cherishing those precious early moments with my little daughter Milla while supporting my husband in running his business. It’s been a journey full of challenges, but I wouldn’t change it for anything….
