Libby

My name is Libby Kissell, and I am the Educational Leader/ Practice Mentor for At Home Family Day Care Scheme. I am a wife and mum of 4 beautiful children and a Nana to one. I have been in the Early Years Industry for 17 years and love everything about it from educating and watch little children grow, smile, and develop, assisting families and guiding Educators to thrive and be the best they can be. I originally chose my career as I always had a passion for children and their learning and development, knowing that if I watched and listened, I could be an important role model to make a difference in the future, because after all they are our future.

Kirsty

Hello, my name is Kirsty and I’ll be a new face that you’ll see around At Home Family Day Care.

I have over 9 years’ experience working in the Early Childhood Industry and hold both my Certificate III and Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care. My favourite ages while working in the industry was babies to toddlers and really loved the crazy unpredictable days!

I also have an 18-month-old son, Murphy, who is great at keeping us on our toes!

Olivia

Hello, my name is Olivia,

I started my early childhood journey in 2020 at Guardian Coorparoo. While there, I gained my Certificate III and then went on to complete my diploma in early childhood education. For the past two years I held the position of room leader of the nursery room which was an exciting and rewarding time for me. I am originally from New Zealand, and I bring with me my culture and knowledge of New Zealand Heritage.

I enjoy working with young children as I can see the impact they can make on the future, and I believe I can support them on their own life journey. I’m excited to further my understanding of industry from a new perspective while working alongside and with our educators of varying knowledge and experience.
