Elisa Hägermann (German)
After secondary school, I decided to study to become a preschool teacher and graduated college in 2022. I always knew I wanted to work with children and I have been very interested in languages since school.
After college, I moved from Germany to Sweden as an Au Pair for and have not looked back since.
I joined Humpty Dumpty in August 2023 and especially enjoy working here because I like working in small teams and love learning about different cultures and languages. Working here has given me many new experiences and insights in differences and similarities of teaching preschool in Germany versus Sweden.
