Hello fellow parents! I would like to share with you my story! Please if you have a few minutes read below:
I spend four years of my life as a stay at home mum of my wonderful twins! Before that, I had been in academia with a BSc in Computer science, MSc in Neuroscience, PhD in Neuroscience and Neuro-informatics. In parallel to my studies, I also created from scratch my own luxury wedding company which was running for years with excellent revenues. AND THEN I HAD MY TWINS!!!!
After lots of thinking, I decided to spend some time as a stay at home mother with my kids. I was looking to enjoy the moments I had with them because life is short and I would be sad if I returned to work. It was a personal choice that I do not regret as it meant so much to me and it made me feel so lucky to be able to have this luxury in my life! I still remember all the unlimited laughter and moments that i will cherish forever (I forgot all the terrible sleep deprivation, the horrible tantrums, the mess at my house which still exists etc). I loved it, and I truly enjoyed it!
But after the twins turned 3.5, they started kindergarten...AND Now, my life has changed. Suddenly I have time to restart my career and so much time in my hands. I tried for six months finding a job, applying to pretty much anything from science, to academia to wedding services everything! No positive answers. NO EMPLOY WOULD HIRE ME (and surprisingly, I did not feel sad about it - it felt to me that I lack the passion for those/any jobs - I had not enough interest in them and it was obvious!).
Then (and after days of tears, sadness, feeling shitty and worthless) I thought that the past is in the past and that part of me is completed. I should try to find what I really want to do and not rush to something because I am used to do so much all the time (I do NOT want more kids so I want to do something that I love with my time, not necessarily a job but not just cook/ clean take care of everyone, something that fulfills me). I took time to meditate and find what I want to do from now on....So, I decided that I would LOVE It, if I could pursue a passion that I am passionate about, to create something that fulfills me as a person and uses all my skills from life in general.I wanted to find a career that makes my heart happy..!
So I created my own Youtube channel aiming to change how youtube is used within families.
I create a youtube channel with the vision to create a space where parents and kids watch together QUICK, ENTERTAINING videos to inspire for creative FUN STEM activities in real life. The items required for the recommended activities are in everyones household so parents don't need much preparation and hassle. Topics will include science, chemistry, physics, biology, arts and crafts, cooking, mathematics and more. I want to encourage kids to be curious, to question, to love science, to play and learn in real life, in an interactive and informative way that isn't boring! I want to inspire the new generation to use technology in a way that helps them learning in fun ways!!!!
Here is one of my videos:
Please take a few minutes, watch my videos and if you like them, please subscribe! I will be posting new videos every FRIDAY to inspire for a full fun weekend!!!!! The more people subscribe the more financial assistance I am getting in order to continue pursuing these videos for inspiration and education of young kids.
Also, please give me ur feedback and any other questions/ comments. I would love if I manage to make all your little twins to LOVE science and exploration with these fun playful videos and activities!!!!
