Summary
I am a 19 year old student currently in my second year of studying a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Criminology and minoring in Psychology at Victoria university of Wellington . I’m originally from my family farm in Matira, on the coast north west of Hamilton. I attended boarding school at Waikato Diocesan school for girls for the 5 years of my high school education and now moved to Wellington for study. I am a passionate cook, love animals and enjoy running and spending time outdoors. I grew up being the local babysitter so am experienced and highly comfortable dealing with young children, this includes monitoring, feeding, bathing and general care. I have previously worked in animal care facilities and hospitality so understand the need to maintain hygiene and safety regulations.
