Our Tiny Nation educator tribe is in demand! We currently have over 120 families on our waiting list searching for the perfect educator or nanny. Could it be you?

Why home-based? That’s easy, for our educators and our tamariki it’s familiar, it’s nurturing, it’s family and love. It’s the place where we can genuinely feel like we can be comfortable to be the truest and most authentic version of ourselves.

Do you remember why you became a teacher in the first place? Sometimes the noise and chaos of the sector, it can be really easy to forget. So why not take a step back and rediscover why you started, by becoming a home-based educator.

2023 is the time to take control of your life and your career and become a home-based educator. Be your own boss, set your own income rate and be in charge of your own working conditions, plus successfully manage work around your family life.

We’re enjoying having a bit of fun with our third birthday celebrations – it’s so great to be able to stop and reflect on what we have been able to build and grow together over the past three years.

As I reflect on the first birthday and the year that’s been, I feel all the more grateful to benefit as a family from our village and from all of the relationships that intertwine to create it.
