In 2008 she decided to take a leap of faith and make her dream adventure to become an Au Pair abroad a reality. She got the opportunity to Au Pair for 2 years in England for a South African / Irish family. That was the start for a once in a lifetime experience for her. In 2010 she Au Paired in the Netherlands and thereafter in Belgium. While she was in the Netherlands, she got the chance to learn Dutch & travel a lot to places like Paris and Berlin. In Belgium she travelled with her host family to the South of France and the South of Spain for the summer holidays.

It’s Natashia’s passion to help young women make their dreams come true by Au Pairing abroad. She will always be grateful for Carla & the CAP Team for this amazing adventure that helped her to become more independent and meet new people from different countries. Natashia would love to inspire young women to experience their own wonderful adventure of being an Au Pair abroad and she is more than happy to assist them in making their dreams become a reality.
