Monday’s Local Mum, Aileen Anderson

October 16, 2023

Hello! I’m Aileen, a local Eastern Suburbs Artist, Primary Teacher and the proud mother of three beautiful children.  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…

Hi everyone, I’m Jayne and I’m a South Coogee local. I’m originally from Liverpool in the UK but Australia has been my home for a while now. This place is truly wonderful for raising kids!
