Angela's In-Home Childcare

This is one of our Auckland Educators which we regularly catchup with.

One of our fabulous Auckland-based educators, Ayu Romero, has recently been profiled in a New Zealand Infant & Toddler Consortium (NZITC) article. She has written a piece titled: Where care meets the heart – coming home to educaring.

In the article, Ayu shares her heartfelt journey from centre-based care to opening her own home to children and whānau in partnership with Tiny Nation. With honesty and warmth, she reflects on vulnerability, authentic relationships, and what happens when respect becomes more than a philosophy - it becomes a way of living.

"The impact of this alignment feels like a quiet revolution of aroha. For children, a consistent, predictable environment fosters a strong sense of belonging and safety. They are remarkably settled, confident, and free. For the parents, the transformation is equally profound; anxiety gradually gives way to peace. They feel deeply seen, validated, and no longer alone on their parenting journey."

We think you’ll love this beautiful read just as much as we did!🫶
