Eva, host of DAM Parenting

Hosted by

Eva

An Irish parent living in Amsterdam, raising a child in a language not her own, navigating Dutch systems as an outsider โ€” and talking about it honestly.

DAM Parenting started three years ago from a simple belief: international parents don't need fixing. They need conditions where they can function, and they need to know they're not alone.

"Parents don't need fixing. They need conditions where they can function."
