Brett & Ineke

Caretakers at Duke House

Funny story … we knew each other at College and were too shy to talk to each other, met again randomly in 2016 and got married at the end of 2018. We’ve been part of the team, living at Duke House, since August 2023.

I (Brett) have worked in Mental Health for over 35 years, for the last 20 years in crisis respite mental health care and is currently employed at Beth Shean Trust. Ineke has an education background having worked in pre-school and junior school as a teacher aide. Ineke now works as a nanny after raising her own children. Ineke spends as much time as possible with family and we have three gorgeous granddaughters. 

“It’s a privilege to live in such a beautiful place.  We share a caretaker role doing some of the practical tasks around the property. We love being part of an awesome community which provides such a valuable service to young people and their families.”
