The Value of Understanding

I grew up in Barcelona, surrounded by the warmth and closeness of Mediterranean life, where personal relationships have always mattered deeply. From an early age, I was fascinated by people: what shapes us, what makes us different and how we relate to one another. That curiosity led me to pursue university studies in education, child development and psychology at the University of Barcelona and the University of Education Freiburg.

Having lived in Spain, England, Germany and, for more than a decade now, Switzerland, I have come to appreciate that, despite our different cultures, backgrounds and ways of life, we all share something fundamental: the need to feel heard, understood and respected, without judgement.

Happy Home grew naturally from this combination of experiences and values. I have always believed that understanding people is the key to bringing the right ones together. It allows me to appreciate what truly matters to each family, recognise the individual strengths, character and potential of a candidate, and see where the two might genuinely complement one another.

Every successful placement begins with understanding.
