It all started with a simple Facebook ad. Geraldine, a teacher from South Africa, was scrolling through her feed when she spotted an invitation to a Prospero webinar. Something about it stood out, and she decided to click. That small moment led to a life-changing opportunity in New Zealand.

From day one, Geraldine felt supported. Kristina, her consultant at Prospero, checked in regularly, answered every question, and made sure she never felt uncertain. That level of care built trust quickly. Kristina didn’t just assist with paperwork or job listings. She took the time to understand what Geraldine wanted and found her a role she knew would be a perfect match.

And it was. Geraldine landed in a school where she immediately felt like part of the team. “They feel like family,” she shared. “They are so supportive in all aspects.” It was more than just a new job. It was a new beginning in a place where she felt valued, welcomed, and at home.

The decision to move was deeply personal. Like many families, Geraldine and her loved ones were searching for better opportunities for their children. New Zealand offered just that, along with an unexpected bonus a refreshing work-life balance and a beautiful environment to call home.

When it came to the actual relocation, Geraldine’s experience was smooth and stress-free. “Kristina guided me through all the steps,” she explained. “She referred me to all the right websites and information, so I knew what to do and what to expect every step of the way.” There were no surprises, just clear guidance and ongoing support.

In fact, Geraldine described her relocation as “the softest landing possible.” She faced no challenges and settled in with confidence and ease.

Her advice to others thinking about making a move is simple but powerful. “Do it. It is so scary, but when you work with the right people who know what you want and where you’ll fit in, it’ll be the greatest leap of faith you ever take.”

Geraldine’s story is just one of many, but it captures exactly why we do what we do at Prospero. We help teachers not just find jobs, but find the right places to grow, thrive, and feel supported every step of the way.

If you’re thinking about taking your teaching career to New Zealand or Australia, we’d love to help you take that first step.
