Monday’s Local Mum, Aileen Anderson

I have been teaching in Public Education for over twenty years and have loved working with children and their families.

Monday’s Local Mum, Chloe Noble

October 9, 2023

Hi, I’m Chloe, a mother to two and recently certified Hypnobirthing Australia practitioner.

I’m excited to be…

I’m a children’s author whose books have been shortlisted in CBCA and Speech Pathology Awards and featured on the TODAY show and The Guardian.

My name is Sophie Morgan and I moved to Bondi in November 1999. I have volunteered at North bondi surf club since 2001. I finished my 10 years of patrol two days before my second child was born!

Hi Fellow Super Mums! I’m Sophie, a Vaucluse-based mama of three little ones who drive me crazy on a daily basis (crazy in love and just plain crazy, in equal measures!).

Monday’s Local Mum, Cathy Shortt

June 12, 2023

Hi! I’m Cathy and I’m an Eastern Suburbs Nurse, Midwife, Lactation Consultant and mother of three beautiful children. I love beach walks, good coffee and the company of friends. I decided to start my own company Milk & Mums Co. after working in the hospital environment for many years and feeling that the gap in support between the hospital and the home was just too great for parents. I wanted to make a difference to families wanting to thrive in this incredibly challenging period of transition. My mission is to make sure all families are supported through education and that they receive continuity of support and…
