  • Description

    Hi!

    I am an early childhood teacher and a mother, based in Spain. I currently run a nature-based education project for children aged 0 to 3, where learning happens through play, exploration, and a deep connection with the natural world.

    Regarding my background, I have international experience working with children and families. I have volunteered in educational and community projects in Thailand and India, and I have also worked as an au pair in England and Ireland, which allowed me to deeply connect with different cultures, family dynamics, and ways of raising children.
    I am trained as a Waldorf early childhood teacher and I have additional training in Montessori, Reggio Emilia, nature-based education, neuroscience, and I am also a children’s yoga teacher. All these approaches inspire my daily practice and help me offer a holistic, child-centered learning environment.

    My project is based on respectful parenting and education, honoring each child’s individual rhythm, needs, and interests. I believe in clear and reassuring routines, combined with plenty of space for free play, creativity, and self-discovery. There are no demands or pressure — children are at the center of their own learning process, and adults are there to guide, accompany, and support them with presence and care.

    My daughter is part of this project and daily life with me. She is 18 months old, and for me it is very important to be able to share her early years together, both personally and professionally. She truly enjoys being around other young children and discovering the world through play, movement, and curiosity.

    She has already traveled through different countries and four continents, and she adapts easily to new environments. She is a little adventurer — open, curious, and happy to explore nature, people, and everyday life at a gentle pace

    I love traveling and learning from other cultures, especially different educational approaches, ways of raising children, and community-based projects. I would also love for my daughter to grow through this exchange, meeting new people, environments, and ways of living.

    For this reason, we are looking for an educational or community project where we can stay together during the summer in another country, sharing daily life, learning, and meaningful experiences.

    We love animals, nature, people, and the slow, calm rhythm of simple things. We value respect, kindness, and presence, and we feel most at home in places where life is lived with intention and care.
