Childcare Specialist

She began her work with children in nurseries and kindergartens over a dozen years ago. What she values most is the opportunity to accompany children during the most important moments of their development and to build a relationship based on trust and a sense of safety. Working with children gives her enormous satisfaction, because the awareness of being the person around whom they feel safe is a tremendous motivation to act. In her daily work with toddlers (ages 1–3) in the nursery group she draws on elements of the Sherborne Developmental Movement, the Orff method and Bajkoterapia (story therapy) — together with her teammates, in the spirit of Positive Discipline that guides our whole facility in Saska Kępa. Privately, she is interested in music, which she gladly uses in her daily work. Every day they develop hearing, a sense of rhythm and physical agility. Listening to various pieces builds emotional intelligence. Nothing brings people together like dancing and singing together, which build a sense of safety and a bond within the group. "The joy of the children every morning and the smiles with which they greet me are proof that my work has meaning."

I am a pedagogue, diagnostician and sensory integration therapist with over a decade of experience in psychological and pedagogical work, specialising in work with children of preschool and early-school age. In my work I support children's development, helping them to better understand and organise the stimuli flowing from their surroundings, which translates into their everyday functioning, emotions and ability to learn. I regularly raise my qualifications by taking part in training in sensory integration, supporting children's development and working with neurodevelopmental disorders. In my work I put emphasis on an individual approach to the child, building a relationship based on trust and a sense of safety, and creating a friendly atmosphere conducive to development. I cooperate effectively with parents, caregivers and teachers. The interpersonal skills I have allow me to function well in the large specialist team at Siedmiu Krasnoludków in Saska Kępa — together with Aleksandra Zalewska we run Sensory Integration (SI) diagnosis and therapy on-site, in our own SI room.
