7NEWS anchor and mum-of-two Angela Tsun might have one of WA’s most decorated media careers but she believes being a mum is her most challenging — and rewarding — job to date.

“It’s much easier being a newsreader, let me tell you — being a mum is 24/7. There are no sick days, you don’t get paid, but it’s so rewarding,” she said.

“It’s little things, like when they come and give you a hug or say, ‘I love you’, it makes it all worthwhile.”

After recently becoming the co-anchor with Tim McMillan on Sunday to Thursday, Ms Tsun said she feels blessed with a support system that allows her to build a strong career while looking after her daughters.

“I’ve got an amazing husband — I couldn’t do what I do without him,” she said.

“With my increased hours, he’s picking up the slack, taking the kids to dancing and swimming lessons, picking them up from school and looking after them — and they’re thriving.

“I was really stressed coming into this role, thinking, ‘How are we going to manage it as a family?’ But he’s so amazing. It’s teamwork.”

While some kids would be a little thrown seeing their mum on television four nights a week, Tsun said that her daughters, nine-year-old Zoe and Mimi, 8, have always loved being around the studio.

“They’re so used to it, I was pregnant with them and sitting behind the news desk,” she said.

“Someone was kicking me in the tummy while I was reading the news.

“My eldest Zoe loves the news and she will not miss a six o’clock bulletin, even when I’m not reading.

“Mimi tends to watch just to see what I’m wearing. If I’m wearing her favourite colour yellow, she’s happy.”

With Mother’s Day on Sunday, Ms Tsun said that she was excited about being spoilt with breakfast in bed. But mostly she feels grateful to be able to be a mum.

“I’m so grateful to have beautiful and healthy children, and grateful for my mum and the women that have come before me,” she said.

“I wouldn’t be who I am without them.

“My mum’s my best friend and I hope as my girls get older, we’ll have that same special relationship.”
