Nina and me

Hello! I’m a full time mother to a bubbly 5 year old girl, Nina. We are a family of three based in Germany. Nina is raised bilingual (English and German). She has been going to nursery since she turned 3 years old, and I teach her in English at home.

I have some background in early years education – I taught kindergarten for 11 years before having Nina. Therefore, I am basing Nina’s learning on my own experience, as well as keeping myself up to date with the latest methods that are always dynamically changing. Fact of the matter is, I feel that I’m learning as much from our daily activities together as Nina does.

I started the Instagram account http://www.instagram.com/playwithnina to document Nina’s learning journey. I also wanted to share ideas with my mum friends especially when the big lockdown happened and everyone was looking for activity ideas to entertain their children at home. If anyone feels inspired by just one activity that they see on my account, that’s always the best feeling to hear that.
