Hi, I'm Jessica. 👋
I thought it was about time I introduced myself properly.
I'm 48, live in Paraparaumu Beach, and I'm a proud mum to an amazing 8 year old daughter.
Before all this, I spent many years working as an Executive Assistant across a range of industries and countries. I've been fortunate enough to live and work in Italy, Dubai, Australia and Thailand, experiences that taught me resilience, adaptability and the importance of great customer service.
About 18 months ago, I lost my job in the construction industry. Rather than seeing it as the end of a chapter, it became the start of a completely new one.
I decided to take a leap of faith, retraining as a Child Restraint Technician, Home Performance Advisor and Test & Tag technician. Along the way, the opportunity came up to purchase Just Bring Baby, and I knew it was something special.
As a mum myself, I know how much "stuff" little people need! Whether you're travelling with children, welcoming grandchildren for the holidays, or simply need equipment for a short time, buying everything isn't always practical.
That's why I love what Just Bring Baby does.
My goal isn't just to hire out baby equipment. It's to make life easier for families. I want the process to be simple, friendly and stress-free, so you can spend less time worrying about logistics and more time making memories.
Because I'm a qualified Child Restraint Technician, I can also make sure car seats are installed correctly and safely, giving parents and caregivers extra peace of mind.
Community has always been important to me. I'm also the founder of Kapiti Crop Swap, which brings people together to share produce and plants, and Kapiti Brains Trust (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1503143701155373), where local business owners help each other solve problems and achieve their goals.
I believe that businesses should be built on kindness, trust and genuine relationships. When you hire from Just Bring Baby, you're supporting a local family business that genuinely cares about making your experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.
If you've recently joined the page, welcome! Thank you for supporting local. Whether you're visiting the beautiful Kāpiti Coast, expecting your first grandchild, or simply need to borrow a few baby essentials, I'm here to help.
I'd love to get to know you, so tell me where you're from or who you're hiring for in the comments! 💛
