Passionate about supporting children’s development, I bring a strong foundation in psychology, special educational needs, and childcare to my newest venture — OB Childcare. With a Master’s degree in Psychoanalytic Developmental Psychology and over 10 years of hands-on experience working with children, I’ve combined academic insight with real-world expertise to create a nurturing, play-based environment where children can grow, explore, and thrive. At OB Childcare, I focus on emotionally responsive care, inclusive practice, and age-appropriate learning tailored to each child’s unique personality and developmental stage. My goal is to provide high-quality, individualized care that helps children feel confident, curious, and connected. I’m committed to child-led learning, strong parent partnerships, and creating a home-from-home atmosphere where children are safe, supported, and celebrated.
