Maureen

I have always felt very privileged to work with mums, babies and young families, for over 30 years, in a job that I loved and found very rewarding.

Another great passion of mine is radio, and as a child I would often be listening to the radio whilst my friends would be watching TV.

After seeing an article advertising a presenters course at 2SSR, I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to combine the two and when I suggested this to my husband he immediately said you could call it “Babies On Air”.

Irene

I grew up in Sydney and then became a Nurse.

My nursing qualifications include Registered Nurse, Midwife, Child & Family Health Nurse and many other post graduate studies gained in my nursing travels over the years.

Apart from being a Mum and a Grandmother my nursing career covered many years (particularly in Sutherland and St George Hospital) but mainly in Child & Family Health where I worked for over 25 Years – this afforded me the privilege to gather knowledge from those beautiful people in my world.

So, consequently after a number of years when I was not so actively involved in hospital or clinic works I decided to put that knowledge to work doing a radio show at 2SSR.

Fortunately another nurse, Maureen, who I had worked with in Child and Family Health centres for many years felt the same way as I did about presenting a show all about little ones from 0 to 5 years.

Hence the program “Babies On Air” was born

Absolutely love presenting this show.
