NURSERY PRACTITIONER
Hi, m name is Iryna. Since childhood I dreamed of working with children. I realised my dream, and became a qualified primary school teacher. I have been working with children for 9 years now.
Working in childcare is more than just a job to me, it is my vocation. It is a privilege to be part of happy childhoods. It is good for the soul!
In my free time I like to paint, read, and spend time with my family.
