About
LearnWithEbba: Building Financial Confidence in Children
Hi! I'm Hermina, a finance professional with 15+ years of experience in wealth management across Zürich and London.
This platform is dedicated to empowering families by making financial education enjoyable and accessible. I'm currently working on a book that teaches financial confidence through enchanting storytelling for children ages 4-12.
Here at Learn With Ebba, we believe children who grow up understanding money feel more confident, resilient, and prepared for life—but they need to learn through wonder, not worksheets.
While I finish the book, explore the blog for insights on money and parenting, use our engaging resources, and shop our collection of inspirational products. Try out helpful tools, such as the savings goal and compound interest calculators, and discover how to make teaching about money a natural and rewarding part of family life.

The Book
Most children grow up confused about money. Most parents don't know where to start. I couldn't find a bedtime story about financial confidence that didn't feel like a lecture—so I'm creating one.
I'm a finance professional with 15+ years in wealth management across Zurich and London. But this book? I'm writing it for my daughter, Ebba. After years of helping clients build wealth, I realized these essential skills—understanding money, compound interest, planning—weren't taught to kids in ways they'd actually remember.
Through Ebba's magical adventure children ages 4-12 will learn timeless lessons about earning, saving, investing, patience, gratitude, and resilience. Real financial wisdom wrapped in a story kids actually want to read.

The ripple effect of financial education from students to parents
When children learn finance in school, that knowledge doesn’t just stay with them — it often improves family finances too. A study in Peru showed that parents’ loan default risk dropped and credit scores improved after students took financial courses. That means teaching kids about money can benefit entire households.

A study found that almost all young adults (ages 18-28) now say they want to be financially independent by age 55 — many even aim for age 32.
