About Us

We are a busy family of four (plus our sweet border collie, Patch) based in Hope Island. Our two boys, aged 4 and 8 (nearly 9), are curious, energetic, and love outdoor adventures, learning, and hands-on activities.

Both parents travel weekly for work, alternating schedules—Mum is home three weeks of the month, while Dad is home one week of the month. We rely heavily on our nanny for support, as we do not have family on the Gold Coast. Reliability is absolutely essential to us.

Our youngest attends Kindy on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, while our eldest is in full-time school.
