Michelle Emmett - Porirua
Hi my name is Michelle Emmett. I was born and raised in Taranaki, mainly Waitara and New Plymouth. Moving to Porirua in 1984 when my son was one week old. My three children are now grown, and I have four wonderful grandchildren. Over the years I have held a variety of jobs covering assembly line work, customer service, logistics, banking and taxation. My interests mainly revolve around papercraft. Making cards, gift boxes and folders to display photos etc. I also enjoy puzzles, game shows and knitting. I am currently raising my youngest granddaughter who is 4 years old and prior to her I also had her sister on and off over a ten-year period. Having had this experience and the highs and lows that come with it I welcome the opportunity to support other grandparents in a similar situation.
