Boni Longhurst
My name is Boni Longhurst and I am the little “Brat” sister and what I’d like to think of as the right hand man (woman) to Tracey Urquhart.
I left school and studied travel and tourism in 2001. I worked at British Airways Comair as a Customer Relations Officer for 3 years before getting married and starting a family.
I was lucky enough to become a “desperate” housewife after my daughter was born in 2006 and twin boys in 2007. Besides from being a mom, I have always had a creative streak, and enjoy doing scrap booking and planning various events such as birthday parties and baby showers.
When my kids started pre-school I started teaching as a Grade R teacher. This is where my love for teaching was born and I was lucky enough to do so for 4 years until Grade R fell away from the pre-school.
I then tried my hand in the corporate world, but missed every minute of being with children and their enquiring minds. I became a marketing assistant for a huge corporate company and this is where I found my passion for creating, branding and organising special events. I learnt to become a jack of all trades, master of none until…..Baby Steps was born.
My sister has always been an inspiration to me and when asked to join her in her venture, I did not hesitate; I left the corporate world and joined Baby Steps when it first opened in 2015. A month before we opened the doors we were all there, family and friends, painting, cleaning you name it we did it to get the school ready for its open day. I started off by teaching for the first 2 years and then later became the Marketing Manager in 2017. This position has never stopped me from stepping in where ever I am needed by Tracey and all three of the amazing managers. I love to organise our team building events and other events throughout the year.
I have the best of both worlds because I still get to be around the children and look after our successful brand. My blood is PINK and BLUE.
I look forward to Managing our new branch next year 2020, Baby Steps 2 Assumption!
