About Me
Jade enjoys getting pleasure from simple things and excitement gained from watching a sunrise or sunset is indescribable. Being a mum that enables her child to thrive and be true to himself has led to a range of learning experiences being undertaken, focussing on autism and learning disabilities, and there is usually a qualification that is being completed. Jade loves holidays and making memories with those closest to her.
Motivation
For Jade her true motivation is to make someone’s life a little happier and easier. This can be from providing some advice and guidance; simply listening to someone’s woes or being the cheerleader that a person hasn’t had before. Personal development can be undertaken in many different formats and a good, strong, supportive and happy education setting can make an invaluable difference in a child’s life.
