As a nursery teacher I loved being involved in the development of the children, to ensure their good welfare, their safety and their growth.\u00a0 As manager of human resources it is important to me that each of our staff members will have a similar connection to all of the children in our care.

The greatest satisfaction for me is to see the child progress and reach the goals which we have worked together with them to achieve. I feel it is a privilege for me to be part of the work at Matam, where there is a feeling of teamwork and a warm and respectful atmosphere which help\u00a0 our dear children on the autistic spectrum make progress.
