About Marilize Coetzee
A farm girl from a small town called Vryheid, now living the city life. I grew up with 3 brothers and I have always been surrounded by children, I always knew I want to work with babies one day . My journey started with Good Night when I had a 5month old baby who never slept longer than 40min (not even as a newborn). Good Night has changed my life and I could not keep this to myself. I felt a strong desire to share this with other families and here I am. I have a passion for people and children and to have a direct impact on someones life fills my cup and provides me with the energy I need to be the best version of myself. I truly live for the here and now
