My Summary
About Me
Hello, I’m Lis. I am Australian born and have been living in the UK for the past 10 years. I live in picturesque Wadhurst with my adult daughter and teen son, and 2 adorable cats. Both cats are rescues, from Greece and Australia.
My work is neurodivergent affirmed with an emphasis on strengths based practice. I support interest led and consent based approaches to learning and view all families as a unique ecosystem that requires bespoke support unique to their needs and lifestyle preferences.
I like to think I am incredibly patient and nurturing in my work as well as reliable, dependable and organised. I am very intrinsically motivated and like to help cultivate that within the young people I work with. I support families mostly in the independent sector of education as well as unschool and homeschool families.
I am a good fit for families who align to holistic and progressive support, who have a keen interest in bespoke care for their child/children, and who appreciate attention to detail and intuitive forms of education and facilitation.
Happy to chat anytime!

I can also support academic work/study skills in alignment with private school requirements.

Lis is a wonderful nanny and is great with our four-year-old daughter. She is patient, communicative, trustworthy and very thoughtful. Lis always comes prepared with engaging activities for the little one, including writing practice, drawing supplies, and even books she's brought from home! I love coming back to the house and seeing all of the projects they've been up to. I would heartily recommend Lis!
