“Never give up on what you love, always follow your dreams and they will come true”

I have been working with children since I was 13 years old. My first place of work was McDonald’s birthday center in Tbilisi. Soon I realized that the relationship with the little ones gave me the greatest happiness. When people asked me what my dream was, I kept responding: to have my own kindergarten, in order to be filled with childish kindness and joy. Just so happened that I worked in a bank for some time, but soon I realized – the most important thing in life is to do what you love the most.

I learned about the Employment Center from a friend and contacted employment consultants. That’s how we recorded the first meeting. When I arrived at the meeting, I found a very warm environment. The representatives of the Employment Center gave me counseling and started looking for a job corresponding to my experience and interests. In a short time, they contacted me and arranged an interview with a potential employer who was planning to open a kindergarten. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, the opening of the kindergarten was called off, so I went to Germany, to my parents. I spent some time there. When I came back, I again applied to the employment center as a job seeker. In the shortest time, employment consultants contacted me and offered me the manager position of “Eco Garden” kindergarten. I happily agreed. After a successful interview, I got a job in this position.

I am proud that I dared and did not give up on my dreams. I am very happy because I am doing the work that I love the most.
