Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, Hello, my name is Cari and I started studying BCOM business studies at Akademia this year. I am very passionate about videography and photography, however I am very good at organizing and managing projects and events. I love the outdoors and nature, and I also have a very nurturing way of dealing with people. I can understand the responsibility of looking after ones children and would only trust the best. I have been driving for over 6 years now, and my family and friends say I am very safe with to be in the car. Easy to get a long with and will do my best to keep your children safe and protected in my care.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am passionate about children! I am a leader at our horse riding school and children's church so I have practical experience with children especially primary-school children. I am very patient and organised. I will be able to help with homework and age appropriate stimulation. I have been an au pair for the past two years with more than a thousand hours of child care experience with ages new-born till 13 years of age.

Hobbies and other interests

Horse riding, photo and videography, hiking and nature.
