Maryke Collins
Admin Manager
Hi, My name is Linde-Che best known as "LC". I am originally from Klerksdorp however I am currently based in Potchefstroom, North West. I hold an Early childhood diploma. I was an Au Pair and teacher for many years in South Africa where I learned a lot about being an Au Pair, but nothing compares with Au Pairing abroad. I firmly believe that if you Au Pair abroad it will teach you how to be an independent young woman and it is the best way to travel the world and make memorable memories you will always keep safe in your heart. You will learn about other cultures and make lifelong friends. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I can't wait to be part of every step of your journey.
