Paige

Hi, I’m Paige. With over 17 years of experience working with children aged 0–15. I’ve had the joy of supporting little ones and teens through all kinds of settings, from early childhood education and kids’ clubs to boarding schools and weekly volunteering at a children’s hospital. My goal has always been the same: to bring joy, support, and a sense of calm to every child I care for. As a proud mum to a bubbly 8-year-old, I understand just how important it is to create a nurturing, safe, and fun environment. I also have hands-on experience supporting children with Type 1 diabetes, asthma, ADHD, and ASD, so I’m confident in adapting to a wide range of needs with care and sensitivity. When I’m not working, you’ll find me with my son, partner, and our two dogs, usually out exploring nature, doing crafts, or getting stuck into a good puzzle. I come from a big, lively family with three brothers and a sister, so I’m no stranger to a bit of chaos and a whole lot of love! What I love most about working with kids is just how much fun we can have together,whether it’s being silly, getting creative, or helping them discover something new, I truly believe every day is a chance to make a child’s world brighter. I look forward to meeting your family.
