My name is Stefka Peteva.
My professional path began in an unexpected, yet deeply meaningful way – in a kindergarten, as a teacher. Although my initial education was in finance, my encounters with children led me to rethink my direction and discover my true calling.
Working with children inspired me to continue my training as a primary school teacher, and later to follow the path of social work – a path I have been walking for more than 20 years with dedication, purpose, and heart.
I grew up in a family where care, love, understanding, and mutual support were a natural part of everyday life. For a long time, I took this for granted, but over the years I came to realise how essential this is for a child’s development and future.
My personal experience as a parent deepened this understanding even further and turned my work with children and families from a profession into a cause.
At the heart of everything I do is my love for children and my belief that every child and every family deserves a chance for a calm and dignified life. I believe that a good society begins with the care we give to children and families.
Sometimes, the most important thing we can offer is simply to be there for someone – with attention, patience, and heart.
I strive not only to provide professional support, but also to be a source of trust, understanding, and genuine human care.
