“A child wants to be noticed and to feel special.”
Nikola Krzewicka
Nikola doesn’t like beaten paths – instead, she looks for her own way. She studies photography and multimedia, but sees her future in psychology and therapy. She loves movement, but not just any kind: high heels and pole dance training require strength, precision and determination. Recently she has also discovered horse riding. She spends her free moments drawing, painting, reading popular science and experimenting in the kitchen – more and more often with a touch of Italian and Indian flavours.
Above all, though, she values working with children. She wants to get them away from screens and show them how exciting a treasure hunt, hide-and-seek or skateboarding can be. For her, the most important thing is that every child feels accepted and safe. She believes her sessions will help young people discover new passions, and maybe even a piece of themselves.
Snizhana Smerechanska
They call her Śnieżka (Snow White), although her life has not always been a fairy tale. When the war in Ukraine changed everything, she came to Poland and started writing a new chapter here. In Kyiv she graduated in public relations, and today she works in the HR department of a transport company. She is also great at working with children – as a nanny and English tutor she has learned patience and empathy, which she now wants to pass on.
Her passions are art, as well as fashion, perfume, yoga and dance. She started with folk dancing and now trains high heels – an energetic dance style in heels that she simply enjoys. She relaxes by drawing or running, and in winter she knits. In summer she grabs her camera and heads to the forest. She believes every child should feel special. “Understanding is the key to their hearts,” says Śnieżka.
A well-matched duo, a shared mission
Although they haven’t known each other long, they found a common rhythm straight away. They both love dancing, so if anyone is keen, they will show them what real cheerleading looks like. They are also open to other sports – they are happy to organise a football, basketball or volleyball match. They are planning many interesting activities, including team games and exercises that build empathy and self-confidence. “I see you, I hear you and you can count on me” – these are the words that, in their view, every child should hear.
Nikola and Snizhana run their sessions at Primary School No. 11, ul. Asfaltowa 6.
