Marnie szeles
Registered Nurse
I originally Graduated with a Diploma of Applied Science, Nursing in Melbourne . As a Graduate RN I was then fortunate to travel to Far North QLD and obtain a job at Cairns Base Hospital. Here I learnt a vast number of Nursing skills along with Traditional Cultural skills & Values whilst providing care to a large Aboriginal & Torres Strait Island population. I thoroughly enjoyed this time working with the infants, parents and Elders. My love of infants and children helped me gain an Associate Charge Nurse position on the Paediatric Ward during my 10 year stay in QLD .
Sydney then became my focus in order to complete my Bachelor of Applied Science –
Major in Neonates. As I studied I worked at Sydney Childrens ‘ Hospital in Randwick as a Clinical Nurse Specialist .
Upon completing another 10 years loving my work with sick Neonates, Infants & Children I ventured into the Community & established 4 “Mother, Baby Drop in Clinics” within the Sutherland Shire .
This offered mums with new babies or infants free Baby Health Checks, advice and support as often as they required.
It was here I sensed the need for Supporting Sleep challenged parents and infants in their own homes and thus went about gaining more knowledge.
I continue to assist families with obtaining optimum sleep whilst working within a very family focus General Practice – Shire Doctors & Dentists.
In my down time I enjoy walking, great friendships and home decorating !
Janita Begic
Registered Nurse
Since graduating from University of Western Sydney in 2006 as a RN I have had the opportunity to gain nursing experience across different hospital settings.
My nursing career began in the area of mental health and that lead me to complete a postgraduate certificate in mental health.
I then decided to follow my passion and spend following years working in the cancer therapy centre and oncology ward at Campbelltown Hospital.
The last two years of my nursing career involved working with children and providing daily medical care as a senior school nurse.
In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, going to the beach, reading, and long walks.
