Rebecca Bisby has a Cert III in Early Childhood Education and Care and works mostly in the babies’ room. In her own words: ‘Working in childcare has always been my interest and passion. As an educator I believe each child develops in his/her own unique way and it is important to respect this and support children in their learning journey.’ Outside of work. Rebecca enjoys spending time with her 6 children, going to the beach, watching them play sports, cooking and movie nights.
I am a mum of 2 beautiful boys. I have worked in childcare for around 15 years, I love children and I always have loved children. There's nothing more rewarding than working with children, nurturing them and watching them grow and learn. It makes me feel great knowing that I have contributed to children’s learning and helping them grow into the beautiful little people they are. I am very lucky and blessed to be an early childhood teacher and to be working in the most wonderful centre I could ever have imagined.
For the past 4 years I have worked in childcare. I believe all children have their own voice and personality and should be shown guidance, encouragement and care to become their own individualities. One of my favourite activities to engage with children is doing art activities with them watching them use their own imagination is very rewarding and I love to see their creations once they are finished. My greatest love and achievement is my 3 children. I have recently moved up from Penrith to beautiful Harrington with my finance. I so enjoy walks on the beach going fishing and eating seafood. My favourite thing is to listen to all kinds of music and dancing as well. Favourite sport is the NRL and my favourite team is Wests Tigers.

Educator/ Room Leader
I was very lucky to grow up in a family involved in child care. I picked up so much information about development and connection building from a young age…I grew up immersed in it. Other than childcare, I love my animals, being in nature or hanging out with my family.

Jamie
Educator/ Room Leader
Hi, I’m Jamie, the Diploma Room Leader in the Star Fish room! I’ve been in the childcare industry for five years, and I’m incredibly passionate about creating a nurturing and fun environment for children to learn and grow. Outside of work, I’m a volunteer firefighter, which keeps me on my toes, and I love spending quality time with my family.
I’m excited to be part of this amazing team and can’t wait to get to know everyone.
I’ve been working in childcare for the past two years, starting my traineeship right after finishing my HSC, and I’m now working towards my diploma. I’ve always known I wanted to work with children, and I chose early childhood because I love watching young minds grow and seeing their personalities start to shine. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the beach, doing craft projects, and spending time with friends and family.
My passion for early childhood development began while caring for my younger cousins and family friends children. I was honoured to join the Sea Urchins team as a trainee, where I continue to expand my knowledge and skills in supporting children’s growth and learning. Outside of work, I also contribute to my family’s business and enjoying playing hockey.

Hi, I'm Meg and I work in the Whales room. I have a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and although I am relatively new at Sea Urchins, over the past 5 years I have worked with children aged 0 to 5 years. When I'm not at work I am a mum to 2 young boys who keep me very busy! I enjoy being outdoors and creative activities. I am already enjoying my time at Sea Urchins, working as a member of a great team of educators. I look forward to educating your children and teaching them new skills whilst fostering their interests.
Rebecca completed her Cert III in Early Childhood Education and Care and began working at Sea Urchins as a casual educator. In her own words: “I have had a passion for working with young children ever since I was a little girl. I enjoy reading books based on what the children are learning, singing songs and encouraging the children to join in at group time and also making sure transitioning runs smoothly for the child. My first priority is the safety of each child. In the upcoming years I hope to continue my career at Sea Urchins and hope to meet you and your child so we can learn and have fun together.”
