About Karis

26 years old Speaks English
Hi there! I am a medical student, and will be taking a year out of my studies next year to deliver medical outreach from January to June 2020. I would be available as a full time live in carer from September to December 2019. I am hardworking and dedicated - I have 4 A* at A Level, !! A* at GCSE and came 1st in my year in my 1st and 2nd year medicine exams at Queen's University (Henry Hutchinson Stewart Scholarship). I was Head Girl at Sullivan Upper School. At school, I set up a lunchtime club for those with additional needs. I volunteered for one year at Fairhaven Residential Home for adults with learning disabilities. I did a special study module as part of my course on communicating with those with complex and profound needs. I run a Scripture Union camp for girls aged 12-15 every summer, and we have always welcomed girls with additional needs. I have done a placement with Sure Start, including sessions in music therapy. I babysit regularly for several families, and have experience catering for large groups. I am first aid trained and have a full drivers' license.
