Naruhito Honor Imperial (NHI) es para mí la evolución natural de mi etapa en Espania Kindergarten. Cuando surgió la oportunidad de ser parte del equipo fundacional, no lo dudé; quería liderar este proyecto desde sus cimientos. No voy a negarlo: montar un colegio y un departamento desde cero ha sido un camino duro y de muchísima responsabilidad, pero ver hoy cómo este proyecto florece —siendo incluso reconocido por la revista Forbes como un referente educativo— hace que cada hora de trabajo haya merecido la pena.

Como jefa del departamento, no solo coordino el área de español, sino que imparto asignaturas que hacen de NHI un lugar único. Más allá del idioma, participo en la enseñanza de áreas tan innovadoras como Derecho, Economía y Ciencias, integrando el español en un currículo de alto rendimiento. Mi enfoque va más allá de la gramática; buscamos que nuestros alumnos, con sus capacidades excepcionales, utilicen el español como una herramienta de pensamiento crítico en disciplinas complejas. Ser parte del equipo fundacional de este proyecto es, sin duda, el mayor orgullo de mi carrera.

Naruhito Honor Imperial (NHI) represents the natural progression of my journey at Espania Kindergarten. When I learned they were seeking teachers to launch this visionary project, I knew I had to be there from day one. I won’t deny it—building a department and a school from the ground up has been an intense and demanding challenge. However, seeing the project thrive and gain recognition in Forbes magazine as a benchmark for educational excellence makes every effort incredibly rewarding.

In my role as Head of Spanish Studies, I do much more than teach a language. NHI offers a unique curriculum where I also deliver subjects such as Law, Economics, and Science in Spanish. This immersion allows our highly gifted students to apply the language to complex, real-world disciplines. Being responsible for coordinating and setting up this department has allowed me to blend my pedagogical creativity with administrative leadership. Witnessing the growth of this project from a vision into a high-performance reality is the most rewarding experience of my professional life.

During the 2022/2023 school year, I had the opportunity to work at Cocoon Childcare in Sallins, Ireland as an early childhood educator in both the "toddler room" and "junior preschool room." My main focus was to educate children through play, providing a fun and stimulating environment for their development. Throughout this period, I had the privilege of participating in various training courses that enriched my experience and knowledge in the field of early childhood education.

These trainings allowed me to expand my understanding of child development, teaching strategies, conflict resolution, first aid, and safety in the childcare setting, following the TUSLA curriculum in Ireland. These continuous learning experiences helped me enhance my skills as an educator and create an enriching and safe learning environment for the children.

Working at Cocoon Childcare Sallins was a rewarding experience. I enjoyed witnessing the progress and growth of the children as they engaged in educational activities and interacted with their peers. I also built a strong relationship with the parents, keeping them informed about their children's development and providing guidance when needed. I am proud to have been part of a team that prioritizes the well-being and education of young learners, and I look forward to applying the knowledge and skills I gained in future endeavors.

During my experience as an Au Pair in Switzerland, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture and learn from it in a meaningful way. Throughout my stay, I lived with a wonderful Swiss family and took care of their children, providing them with support in their day-to-day lives.

In addition to the typical responsibilities of an Au Pair, such as caring for the children, preparing meals, and helping with household chores, I had the amazing chance to delve into Swiss culture. Living with the family allowed me to closely observe their customs, traditions, and way of life, which was truly enriching.

During my time there, I was fortunate to participate in cultural events, local festivities, and community activities specific to Switzerland. These experiences provided me with a broader and deeper understanding of Swiss culture. It was incredible to be part of traditional celebrations and firsthand witness the customs and values deeply rooted in Swiss society.

My experience as an Au Pair in Switzerland left me with unforgettable memories and a greater understanding of the world and cultural diversity. I am grateful for the opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture and for the valuable connection I established with the host family. This experience has enriched me both personally and professionally, and I will always cherish it.

En el colegio Santo Ángel, trabajé como profesora de hockey sobre ruedas en una actividad extracurricular para niños y niñas de 3 a 12 años.
