Emilie is a freelance animation producer in proud possession of a French and an Irish passport… but it’s actually not that simple. She grew up in Germany and in the States, and then finally landed in London. Having lived there for 10 years, she moved over to Paris four years ago, where she lives with her two daughters. Paris has not been without its trials, but the whole family has gotten used to fresh croissants in the morning and dog poop on the pavement all day long!

Sergiu has worked with Babyccino since the very beginning! He was born in Moldova, he studied in Romania, and he then moved to NYC for work in 2001. He met his wife in New York and got married in 2006 before moving to Dutch Country, Pennsylvania. He now has two kids - a boy and a girl - and enjoys organic gardening, wildlife photography, nature, biking and hikes. 

Lara lives in London after meeting her husband on her fourth day of a vacation. She uprooted and moved abroad for love. Having lived in seven cities, she spent the longest time rooted in NYC and she misses it greatly! Although she is a born and raised urban dweller she often escapes the concrete jungle for nature. She's trained as an artist, and has travelled extensively, working as a Creative Director for retail brands big and small. Travel, beautifully curated moments, flea markets finds, making good food, friends and especially family (her husband have a daughter and a new baby boy)...these are her loves!

Lara was born in Hamburg, Germany and then raised in Paris where she studied to become a Graphic Designer. After living a few months here and there including Barcelona, Berlin and Southern Italy, she finally came back to Paris where she found love and a tiny apartment with a garden (right outside the city) at the same time. Four years later, the apartment was extended and her baby boy Oscar was born. Lara loves the beach at any season, candles and chimney fires, interior decorating, a hot cup of tea and of course Paris!!

After living in New York City (where she got engaged), Brussels (where she got married) and London (where she got a couple of children and met the co-writers of this blog), Esther moved back to her home country to live in the real sin-city: Amsterdam. Trained as an architect, she likes things to be organized, functional and good-looking. As a mother of four, that seems hard to achieve, but at least her husband makes an effort. She is fond of little creative projects (cooking, drawing, sewing, and baking) and loves homemaking as much as she likes to travel.

Nina grew up in Northern Germany and has been living abroad since her mid twenties, starting a family in Kiev, Ukraine, then living in the Netherlands for the past 6 years, and now embarking on a new adventure in Bali with her husband and their 4 children. Nina loves classical music, the opera, a good book and her latest challenge is learning Indonesian.

Originally trained as a primary school teacher and having completed an MA in Education Vanessa has spent the last fifteen years travelling with her Dutch husband living and working in Africa, America and Europe. They have recently moved to Scotland where they live with their two girls, Helena and Florence. Vanessa loves spending her weekends visiting farmers markets, foraging in the woodlands with her family and cooking with her girls. She loves the smell of home baked cakes, a good pot of tea and fresh flowers in the house.

Kate grew up an hour outside of London in rural Hampshire, and later went on to study biology near Brighton in Sussex. She Moved to London in her early twenties in hot pursuit of her university sweetheart (now husband) and with whom she has two children, a girl and a boy. Life took an altogether different turn after the birth of her first child when she decided to swap clinical trials for colour swatches and follow her life long dream of becoming an interior designer. After 2 years of planning and plenty of procrastinating she has just begun renovating their family home in North London. She loves crafting, DIY, photography, vintage furniture and is pretty handy with a drill.
