About Irena

Experience: 20 yrs

Hi, I'm Irena. I bring 20+ years of experience with children and families, a doctorate in developmental psychology, and years of coaching parents and educators. I offer warm, attentive care grounded in a deep understanding of child development. I'm especially skilled at helping children feel heard, safe, and understood. I attune closely to each child's needs, supporting emotional regulation, play, and learning in a calm, joyful way. I also support parents in understanding their child's development and navigating challenges with greater clarity and confidence, sharing insights that are practical and respectful. Families value my depth, presence, and genuine connection. If you're seeking thoughtful care with real developmental insight, I'd love to connect.
