Service Manager
Hi, my name is Agatha (Aggie) and I am the Service Manager for Busy Bees at Newcomb. I have been working with children for the past 25 years. I have held my Diploma for 20 of those years. I have had many roles within this time ranging from a Lead Educator to management positions. I have also completed my Diploma in Community Services and volunteer with local community support services.
I believe children have unique capabilities and strive to give them appropriate tools and opportunities to achieve them. I believe my role is to guide interest and inspire children to explore, discover and learn. Children have a natural wonder and curiosity when it comes to everyday life, and their infectious zest for learning new things makes it a joy to work with them.
I moved over from Fremantle Western Australia 13 years ago and since have been living in Leopold with my husband and our pooch baby girl. I enjoy camping, travelling and live music. I enjoy gathering with friends and family in my spare time.
Assistant Service Manager
Hi, my name is Alex and I am the 2IC at Busy Bees at Newcomb.
I started in the industry as a trainee in 2020 and quickly worked my way to Lead Educator of a nursery room, through to now being 2IC and Educational Leader. In my previous careers I worked in management roles and choose to take up a Diploma in Early Childhood Education to pursue my passion of caring for children. My family have been fostering children since 2011 and has taken two children into full-time care which is apart of where my passion has come from.
I am very passionate about giving every child the best start in life to help nourish their potential to grow and thrive in their lives. I believe every child should be given equal opportunities in life and deserves compassion and love every day to support them.
When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my two cats, exploring different forests with my fiancé, or spending time with my three nephews. I’m always out and about finding new places to eat or discovering activities to do.
