ABOUT
When my children were younger, I really struggled to find fun, creative, high quality activities in my area. I used to flick through pages of the “Sydney’s Child” magazine to search the what’s on page, and look for activities that I could take my children to. There was nothing in my area, so I would put my children in the car and drive to the locations, which sometimes were on the other end of Sydney. I just did it, simply because I wanted my children to have the best experiences and something a bit out of the norm.
Being an Early Childhood Educator and wanting more in my career, after having discussions with my husband Emmanuel, I thought, why can’t I start hosting these activities in my area, myself? Why am I literally searching high and low, when I can start something in my local area and see if others will join?
So in 2014, I began the Decorati journey, hosting mobile activities, events and workshops in my local area. Families saw the value and in no time at all, I was getting booked to take my Decorati magic to locations all over Sydney!
I love the fact that I have inspired and helped other young families out there wanting activities for their children too. Food and Child Care studies were always my strongest passions, and I am so privileged I have created a niche business to combine all my passions and loves into an extracurricular business for children.
Through hard work, perseverance and making connections, establishing and growing a team to come on this journey, I know I have created a top notch brand and want you as a parent or teacher to trust what I have built.
So come join the party at Decorati!
