About me

I have been around animals since childhood and caring for them is a natural part of my life. My parents take care of our 6-year-old female and 8-year-old cat, thanks to whom I know what loving care means. In addition, I have been on several multi-day trips with my female, so I can handle active dogs who love the outdoors.

My professional experience was gained as an au pair in England, where I was responsible for the dogs and cats of a host family on a daily basis. This taught me how to gain the trust of even a stranger's pet and make them feel safe, whether they are used to living indoors or outdoors.

I always try to make the animal feel at ease and comfortable with me. You can rest assured that I will care for your pet with the utmost care and responsibility. I look forward to meeting you and your animal friends.

What I need to know about pet

To take the best care of your pet, I will need to know its habits and temperament. So I'd like to ask you a few important details:

Health and feeding: does he have any allergies, health problems, or is he on medication? What is his daily feeding regime?

Character and behaviour: What is his typical temperament? Is he rather calm, playful, or does he need a lot of activity?

Socialization: How does he react to other people and animals? Does he get along well with other dogs/cats, or does he prefer to spend time alone?

Special Needs: Does he have any specific habits I should look out for, or favorite toys that he won't fall asleep without?

I believe the more information I have, the better I can adapt to his needs and make him feel safe and comfortable.

How Marika handles everyday situations

You are about to look after 5 years old Anna from Prague. She has been going to kindergarten for a year and her mum and dad need to have a rest and go for the trip together on Saturday. You know Anna has been looked after only by her mum's sister, she would not last long for the book and enjoys any movement the most. The parents won't have any special requirements for the daily schedule leaving it completely up to you. What is your common Saturday going to look like?

Program by reagoval na počasí. Pokud by bylo hezky, trávily bychom čas venku na hřišti nebo v přírodě (na místech, které ona dobře zná a cítí se tam bezpečně). Pokud by pršelo, zaměřily bychom se na aktivity spojené s pohybem např. na schovávanou nebo bychom postavily nějakou opičí dráhu, u které by se mohla bezpečně vyřádit. V průběhu dne bych dbala na pitný režim, pokud bychom šly ven, tak také na pokrývku hlavy a vhodné oblečení. Dle instrukcí bych dítěti dala také jídlo, dítě bych zapojila do přípravy jídla, tak, aby se naučilo něčemu novému, zároveň bych se byla přítomná a dbala bych na bezpečnost.

You are at the sandpit with Anna enjoying not only playing at climbing frames but also making sand cakes. Anna is sitting calmly trying to prepare a confectionery pleasure. She is holding a sifter in her hand "sugaring" the sand cake. Suddenly, a little girl approximately at the same age comes to her, takes the sifter and is going to play with it herself. Anna is really unhappy and looks as she is going to cry. How are you going to solve the situation?

Validuju její pocity: "Tebe to zaskočilo, když ti holčička sebrala to sítko? Co bys teď chtěla?" Pokud by si stále chtěla hrát na písku... "Zkusíme se s holčičkou domluvit, že byste ho měly obě dvě a půjčovali byste si ho." Pokud by řekla, že ne, zeptala bych se, co dalšího by chtěla dělat s tím, že se na písek můžeme vrátit, až bude sítko volné.

You have agreed with the parents they would come back home in the evening to make their daughter fall asleep. Half an hour before they should arrive, the desperate mother is calling you she has been stuck in traffic on the highway and they will certainly not be able to arrive on time. There is going to be a serious delay and there is nobody to substitute for them. Anna is quite tired of the all-day rollicking and she is asking for her parents. How are you going to cope with the situation?

Domluvím s rodiči postup, jakým způsobem je zvyklá usínat. Následně Aničce sdělím informaci, že s ní budu dneska o trošku déle. Budu se jí ptát na to, co dělá předtím, než jde spát (čistí si zuby atd.). Postupně spolu uděláme jednotlivé kroky. Řeknu jí, že tu s ní budu, dokud nepřijede máma s tátou, a nabídnu jí, že jim můžeme napsat dopis nebo zavolat, aby měla jistotu, že na ní myslí.
