check_boxHigh School

I am currently at the University of Auckland, studying a Bachelor of Medicine & Bachelor of Surgery. I have also attained a Bachelor of Science (Psychology and Biology) and a Bachelor of Health Science (Mental Health & Addiction and Health Promotion). When I'm not studying I love being around people and animals, spending time with my partner and stepson, traveling, and spending time at the beach or pool in summer! I also spend my time tutoring high school students, or curled up somewhere with my nose in a good book.

Reviews

6 families and businesses in your area recommended Kara...

"Kara was punctual. My 5y-o son wasn't keen to let his parents go on an outing while he and his sister would be looked after by a stranger, but Kara managed to make him relax and played with him and all went well. I would definitely recommend her."

From Guillaume - Avondale

"Kara was a great communicator and carer for our son. She even managed to get him to eat his vegetables! He felt very at ease and enjoyed his time while we were out. We’d be happy to recommend and use Kara again. "

From Ashleigh - New Lynn

"Kara looked after my kids great. They were happy and I’d definitely use her again."

From Jacinta - Glen Eden

Special Needs Experience

I have had some experience with non-verbal autism.

Childcare Experience

I have been working as a part time nanny for 8 years, with babysitting experience prior to that. I have worked with children aged 2-13, and in my personal life I have a stepson aged 4. I find working with any age so rewarding; I love getting to be part of children’s routines, and seeing their personalities start to shine through.

Tutoring Experience

I have been tutoring since 2011, through an agency as well as privately. My favourite subjects to teach are the sciences, but I am also able to teach English, Maths, Economics, and Chinese. I have worked extensively with some students and effectively functioned as their teacher. My passion is helping people learn, and my favourite part of tutoring is when things finally click for the student.
