- First recommendation to a family was in 2014. A nanny role to 1 year old child and supervising their 4 year old son into and pick up from daycare. Every day s the mother had a home office as a graphic designer. This translated very well for a year. The mother unfortunately was diagnosed with a brain tumour and rushed to Melbourne.
