Hi, I’m Natalia, an Early Childhood Teacher, children’s author and mum of two, based on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, Australia.

I have over 10 years of experience in early childhood education, a postgraduate qualification in Early Childhood Education, and I’m certified in Positive Discipline through the Positive Discipline Association (PDA).

Throughout my career, I’ve developed a strong interest in children’s emotional and behavioural development, particularly in how respectful relationships, consistent routines and positive leadership can support children’s wellbeing and healthy development.

My professional journey has included running my own Family Day Care service in Sydney for several years, working as an educator and teacher in different early learning settings, and supporting other educators in starting their own Family Day Care businesses through online training and mentoring.

I’m also the author of a growing collection of children’s books, available on Amazon. Inspired by my experiences as both an educator and a mum, my stories explore meaningful themes from childhood and family life in a gentle, relatable and child-centred way, encouraging connection and conversation between children and the grown-ups who care for them.

Through my writing and professional work, I hope to share evidence-informed insights, practical ideas and honest reflections that support families and educators in building more conscious, connected and respectful relationships with children.
