About us...

Jenny and Kelly bring over two decades of combined experience in teaching and education.

Jenny began her teaching career working in Primary Schools in the UK. She later moved on to teach intermediate and senior learners and completed a Masters in Education, graduating with distinction for her research on raising student achievement. She finds genuine joy in inspiring and supporting her students as they learn and grow.

Kelly also began her journey in Primary education and has worked across many age groups, building a wealth of knowledge and insight. As a senior leader, she has guided schools with her expertise and now enjoys supporting beginning teachers as they step into the profession.


Together, they share not just experience, but a deep belief in the power of education and care to nurture children, build confidence, and make a lasting difference in their lives.

Our Why

Dedication. Expertise. Passion.

At The Teacher’s Connections, we’re here to make life easier by connecting you with trusted educators and support.

We’re Jenny and Kelly - teachers, mums, and the founders of The Teacher’s Connections. As both educators and parents, we know how important it is for families to feel supported, whether that’s finding the right tutor to help a child build confidence at school or a trusted babysitter to care for little ones so parents can take a well-deserved break. For years, we were the ones people came to asking, “Do you know a great tutor?” or “Do you know a reliable babysitter?” and we realised families were searching for the same thing - a safe, trusted place to turn. That’s why we created The Teacher’s Connections: to bring together qualified teachers from across Aotearoa who are ready to support, encourage, and care for children of all ages, both in learning and in life.

We love using Kelly and her babysitting services for our two young girls. They have adored every sitter and we find it so reliable and easy to organise. Can't recommend enough!
