      I started with Hestia in 2012, as an intern. After finishing my education in 2014, I felt I was not finished at Hestia and I applied for a job. Until July 2018 I worked at location Amstelveen and was then transferred to Rivierenbuurt. I enjoy working at Hestia every day. What I like most about my job, is the fact that we celebrate all cultures, like e.g. the Indian light festival Diwali and the Lunar, or Chinese, New Year. Hestia is a second home for all staff members, for the children and for their parents, and this actually feels like it, too. For myself, Hestia feels like coming home.

      I have been working at Hestia Early Learning Centre since 2008, until December 2019 as teacher in the yellow group of location Beethoven, and since January 2020 at location Amstelveen. I like to use Reggio-centered activities with the children and to document those. Children are all unique, they each have a different schedule and separate needs. As teacher, I have to assess what children need, so I can stimulate them to grow. I enjoy working with the youngest children. They develop rapidly, in a very short time: they roll, crawl, talk and also get frustrated. The most important to me is that the children feel safe, emotionally as well as physically. This helps them discover and grow.
