About Us
Meet Noemi - Founder, Educator & Playgroup Leader
Noemi founded Tiny Hands Creations in Zürich to support families who often have little or no childcare help, particularly in the city’s large expat community. Born and raised in Ticino, she has worked in childcare since 2012 in Switzerland and the UK, where she also earned her Early Years Education qualification.
Through her work, Noemi discovered how much children benefit from art, craft, and sensory play, activities that can be difficult for parents to provide at home or for Kitas to offer to that extent. At Tiny Hands Creations, she combines her professional expertise with a passion for creating a safe and inspiring space where every child is encouraged to explore, be curious, and learn at their own pace.
Meet Rinchen – Co-Founder & Behind-the-Scenes Strategist
Rinchen is the Co-Founder of Tiny Hands Creations and plays a key role behind the scenes. While Noemi focuses on the children and creative activities in the atelier, Rinchen ensures that everything runs smoothly in the background. He takes care of administration, finances, strategies, and purchases – all the essentials that keep a small business like Tiny Hands Creations stable and growing.
Born and raised in Bern with Tibetan roots, Rinchen works as an assistant doctor in cardiology. His professional background brings structure, precision, and strategic thinking to the team, while his calm and supportive presence makes him an invaluable partner in this shared project.
Eda - Certified Childcare Specialist
Eda was born and raised in Switzerland and has been working with great dedication in childcare settings since 2021. As a certified Childcare Specialist (Fachfrau Kinderbetreuung EFZ), she brings valuable experience from the daycare environment and has a strong sensitivity for children, their needs, and different situations.
Through active listening, patience, and solution-oriented thinking, Eda supports children with care and attentiveness in their daily routines. Multitasking, teamwork, and flexibility are among her key strengths, alongside her calm and reliable nature. With perseverance and an eye for the bigger picture, she approaches new tasks and challenges with motivation and commitment.
Eda speaks Swiss German and German, Turkish as her mother tongue, and is fluent in English. At Tiny Hands Creations, she creates a loving and safe environment where children feel seen, understood, and comfortable.
