About Jo

Jo Ryan, RN BA MPH

Jo is a Registered Nurse with nearly 20 years experience, with much of that time spent working in paediatrics. She also worked as a full-time nanny for many years both in Australia and overseas which greatly enhanced her understanding of babies and young children and the pressures of parenting.

As well as being a Registered Nurse, Jo has a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Masters of Public Health. When doing her Masters degree Jo focused her study on the health and wellbeing of women and their children in a Public Health context and the levels of support available to them within the community.

Jo also conducted research into the types of support services women prefer and how home visiting provides much needed support and helps reduce the stress and anxiety that is part of early parenting.

Jo's philosophy of assisting parents within their own environment helps them to feel more confident in dealing with their child and it ensures that parents feel secure with new the routine and techniques before leaving them to carry on alone.

Jo firmly believes that the parents' lifestyle and beliefs should be considered and accommodated when planning Babybliss programs and teaching skills.
