About working at Twickel

“After more than 20 years in childcare, I wanted to try something new. Didn't regret a day.”

After a long time in childcare, she decided to make the switch to education. The job interview at Twickel immediately felt warm and welcome, and the small scale of the school immediately appealed to her.

“It's a great school with great colleagues.”

Every day, she enjoys contact with the children: the joy in their eyes as they learn more and more gives her energy.

“Children's happiness is so contagious. And the fact that you can teach them and give them something for the future is what makes this work special.”

About the kids

“I hope they learn that it's okay to have trouble with something. Not everyone is the same, and that's a good thing.”

In addition to the subjects, she wants to teach children that differences are valuable. She believes it is important that students learn how to interact with different people and that they can remain themselves there.

A moment that always touches her?

“A happy toddler who calls my name lovingly and comes to give me a hug. That makes me melt every time.”

About collaborating

“Be open and honest with each other. Helping each other where necessary.”

Within the team, she particularly values collegiality and attention to each other. She notices that many colleagues have known each other for a long time, which creates a familiar atmosphere.

“We also report when someone is not doing well. That eye for each other makes working together great.
