Qualifications/ Experience needed:
Common sense, interest and training courses in wide variety of subjects that interest me.
Your Typical Day:
Wake at 8:30, change baby, do yoga - Salutation to the Sun -breakfast, morning is my time while husband minds baby. I do lots of different things from reading, organising projects, cleaning, shopping, giving workshops in music or crafts with children, walk on the beach - maybe video tape some nature shots, lunch, mind baby and stay at home, or visit an old relative, sleep with baby for one hour, dinner, playtime, bath, put baby to bed, an hour to myself to take it easy and chat with my partner about the day.
What do you love about your job?
My life is my job and I love life!
What do you hate about your job?
It took me so long to realise life could be this good.
How does a young person get started in a career like yours?
Keep the head and breathe! Keep balanced physically, emotionally and mentally, eat organic food... stay positive. Keep doing courses you are interested in - even short ones. I studied Communications, then Adult Ed. Arts and Crafts then Childhood Teacher Training.
Qualities you need for this job?
A good attitude.
Advice for wannabes:
Be versatile and open! Learn what you love. You can always pass on your skills - teaching, adult education... If you don't know what you love or like to do or are good at...after a few minutes of silence, listening to your breathing (i.e. meditation) ask your Higher Self to let you know what to do. Or talk to your Guardian Angel and ask for guidance.
The world needs more healers and environmentally aware people. You can make a living from these skills - offering treatments and going to schools giving workshops. Don't let money decide your life choices. Doing good with positive energy brings you good luck! And good thoughts bring good energy!
