I am a 25-year-old Infant and Early Childhood Educator and Psychologist Consultant.

I am an enthusiastic, self-motivated, responsible, and hard-working person. I am adaptable to all challenging situations, also I can work well in a team environment. I love kids and for this reason, my goal
is to help and improve their development in their early years and
establish their knowledge for preschool, furthermore, I want to teach them how to be a helpful part of society.

I put a lot of focus, work and time into improving my knowledge about care and development. As a result, I graduated with an outstanding school average.
During my university and a 1-year course, I ended my studies with a 100% score, as one of the best three students with the highest grades. I did my thesis on bilingual children and my research was about The effects of the nursery environment on bilingual children’s speech development.

My university studies were focused on Montessori education, and
involved psychology, anatomy, history of children education, game
pedagogy, sociology, epidemiology, visual education, special needs
education, ethics, mental hygiene – burnout, children law and rights, underprivileged children/families, and music education. I also learnt how to play instruments (such as flutes) to entertain kids and how to help their speech development with breathing exercises.

Then, I spent one semester practising in a children’s hospital and
passed three different First Aid training for infants, kids, and adults. Now, I want to learn more about bilingualism, and my current plan is to follow an English sign-language course.
