Admin extraordinaire and expat rental agent

Mijdrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands

About

I’m a dedicated professional with a blend of experience in early childhood education and administration. As a mother of four, I bring an understanding of child development, organization, multi-tasking and adaptability into everything I do. My background as a preschool teacher and homeschooling parent has equipped me with strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities with care and precision. I’ve also worked in administrative and organizational roles that require efficiency, empathy, and a proactive mindset. Having moved from South Africa to the Netherlands, I understand firsthand the challenges and logistics of relocating internationally and adapting to new cultures. This has inspired me to support other expat families in settling into a new country—helping them navigate systems, find community, and feel at home. I’m passionate about creating calm, structured environments—whether for children, teams, or families—and I’m always seeking meaningful ways to use my skills in people-centered, organized, and solution-focused roles.
