Hi Readers,
I’m Naomi,
a Wife, Mother, Registered Nurse, Gardener, Scuba Diver, and Kayaker. I am dedicated to seeing children develop a growth mindset to find their unique elements. It is a great belief of mine that all kids have the potential to make a positive mark on this world no matter their ability. I’m excited to bring you this website as a resource for parents and caregivers. Strong relationships are key to a child’s success.
I have always loved working with kids and since I was a child I have had a desired to help and reach out to those with disabilities. My nursing career started in a Paediatric hospital (hospital for kids). I loved working with the children but hated having to give them uncomfortable treatments. So I decided that I would work in an adult hospital and volunteer with children’s activities at my church. Through volunteering with kids and having a couple of my own I have learnt a lot about engaging kids in activities and how they develop as they grow. Having the opportunity to work with a Paediatrician (kids Doctor) in the community was one of the high lights of my career (no giving needles here!). This is the main reason why I have started my online business so that I am able to reach more families and empower them to help their kids to be their best and have skills they need for life.
Through helping my own kids navigate life I became a home educator as school was no longer a good fit for my children. Fortunately, I had spent some time at my children’s school as an education support officer so I knew that I was capable of helping my child learn at home. This challenge came with a lot of grief due to the fact that we were no longer able to participate in “normal school” but we have risen to the challenge and it has been worth every ounce of our effort. My incredible husband has really been my rock through this time of transition. During the difficult time of deciding to take our child out of school, God gave me a vision of a train at the end of the line. However, this was not the end! He also showed me golden tracks that the train could continue on after this which gave me hope for my child’s future. By holding on to this vision I was able to put in the hard yards of learning to home educate and now we are having some great wins in life!
I am very grateful that I found an online business group that has helped me to set up this website and get my online business started. In the past, I had attempted to set up my own business in the disability sector but I had no knowledge of how to direct traffic to my web site and how to really make my online business work. You have the opportunity to check out this group in the following link to a free online course.
Please feel free to contact me through my contact page if you have any questions or if you have some topics you would like me to write about.
Kind Regards
