About the owner
My name is Jasmine and I have a wonderful 15 month old son called Cooper and we both love to keep active. My earliest memories as a young child include enjoying being outside playing and discovering new things. This continued through my school life being involved in many sports and to this day I value leading a physically active and healthy life.
I started working with children 13 years ago assisting and then instructing Toddler Gym classes and since then I knew I wanted to own my own business teaching children skills that would last a lifetime.
I completed a Bachelor of Science (Sports Science) and Diploma of Education (Primary). I have taken various jobs in the recreation industry as a Toddler Gym Instructor, Personal Trainer, Holiday Program Coordinatior, Kids Gym Coordinator and Customer Service Officer in both Perth and Sydney. I have worked as a Primary School Teacher, Specialist Physical Education Teacher and Before and After School Care Coordinator at many schools over Perth and Melbourne.
I plan to use my experiences as a mother and teacher to help enrich the life of every child that comes to Gymbakids.
