Owner – Pet Lovers Minding Service
As the saying in the acting world goes – avoid working with children and animals. This local business owner begs to differ!

If I wasn’t doing what I am currently doing I’d be ….Still working in Child Care.

The best read I’ve had was … The Bible, it is ongoing
My best investment was …My 25 years teaching in preschool. Our children are a very worthwhile investment.
My worst investment was … Nothing so far
The best advice I’ve been given is … “If a job is worth doing then it is worth doing well”.

Caring Cottage
Happy, health and well-being. This local is all about feeling good.
My interest in business comes from ….
I Love to help people feel better – my early years nursing taught me that a large portion of people coming into hospital were experiencing disease brought about by their choices with diet, lifestyle, and substance use. I was frustrated with working with people who wouldn’t take responsibility for their situation and wanted someone else to fix their problem. These days I get a lot of satisfaction from the time I spend with clients who value their health and well-being.
I made my first dollar …
as a baker’s assistant (I suck at decorating cakes by the way)
If I wasn’t doing what I am currently doing I’d be ….
back at the hospital dishing out medications to really sick people.
My favourite song is …
gosh there are so many. Currently it’s the ‘happy song’
The best read I’ve had was …
the Cross-Stitch series
My best investment was …
my education
My worst investment was …
Can’t think of any – I took them all on as lessons learnt
The best advice I’ve been given is …
“Don’t worry about the kids, they all come around by the time they’re in their mid twenties. You did.” – my dad.
My greatest achievement has been …
my self education.
The question I’m most asked is …
can you take a look at this….?
