Korálky Nursery and kindergarten | Prague

I am a guide through the children's world in English. In the past, I have worked in schools in the UK, where I supported children with special needs in learning and improving social skills. My job was to create an environment for them where they would get enough attention and care – which I still do today. I approach children with patience, love and compassion.

I always have had children around me. I studied social work and thanks to my school practice I got the chance to see kindergarten or a children's home during my studies. Previously, I also worked in the children's playroom and led a cooking and pottery club. Today I train children to dance and prepare them for various dance competitions. Working in a children's group is my daily joy.

It is an honor to be part of a team that cares for children with love, tenderness and patience. I am not only a children's guide, but also an instructor of aroma yin yoga and children's yoga, so my role in our group is clear – to move together. You wouldn't guess that I studied food science. I also lived in Calgary for a year. But more about that another time

I am optimistic, patient and creative. I like to look at the world through children's eyes. The little ones always surprise me with something and I like their honesty. Being a guide in a children's group is a job for me that makes sense and that fulfills me. I can no longer imagine life without Korálky and all the joys that go with them.

I came from Ukraine, where I am currently studying the last year of the Faculty of Education with a focus on English language and literature. My friends call me "Ženja". Children are my joy, so I'm happy to have a job where they come first. In addition, I can speak english with them and make use of my knowledge from school. What more could I ask for?

I have many years of experience in learning English – as a teacher I taught children in kindergarten, school and afternoon clubs. I enjoy working with them immensely and I often devote myself to them even in my free time, when we go on various trips together. Children are just an integral part of my life and it doesn't matter if it's morning or afternoon, Monday or Sunday.

Children inspire me every day and recharge me with energy, so I would compare working in a children's group to fulfilling a big dream. I go to work feeling like what I'm doing really makes sense. I enjoy teaching children new things and watching their development and progress. Smiles on children's faces really can make a day wonderful.

My name is Tereza. After high school, I babysat children in England for several months, then taught for 7 years in a kindergarten while graduating from a pedagogical college. I am now on parental leave with my son Tonda. My hobbies include music and sports, which I also try to apply when working with children. However, I do not avoid other activities, always according to the interest and needs of children.
