Tonie

Kia Ora, I'm Tonie!
I've been caring for children in my home for over 18 years and love what I do. I'm also a proud mum to four wonderful sons and a lucky Nana (or Granny 😂) to three fantastic grandchildren.

I'm passionate about play-based learning, especially when it's connected to the natural world. I belive that nature is the third teacher, and I love helping children explore, discover, and learn how to care for our environment through sustainable practices.
I offer flexible care options to suit your family's needs — including weekdays, weekends, and variable hours.
If you're looking for a nurturing, nature-loving home environment where your tamariki can thrive,

I would love the opportunity to chat.
