Sadly saying goodbye to well-known Ladysmith day care mother

Mrs Gill Nassi, a well-known day care mother in Ladysmith, will be leaving town soon.

Gill started her day care institution, called Jumping Juniors Day Care, in 1995. Over the 24 years that have passed, about 600 children have passed through her life. She is proud to say that she played a part in bringing them up through those formative years, taught them life skills and most importantly, gave them love and attention.

Gill will be moving to George in the Western Cape in January.

She explains that when she moves to the Cape, she just wants to relax during the first year as she finds her feet in the new town and environment.

But with tears in her eyes, she says she will truly miss the Ladysmith community and all the little children coming to her day care.

In an interview with the Ladysmith Gazette, an emotional Gill shared that, “Children are my life. I treat all of them like my very own. Looking after children is not about money; it’s a gift from God. You don’t have to study to look after children; we all can love them.”

A farewell party was recently hosted to thank Gill for all her hard work and love over the past 24 years. Parents and family attended the party to show their appreciation to this loving lady who always went the extra mile for the children in her care.
