Hi, my name is Emma Dawson. I’m 16 and currently in Year 11 at Diocesan School for Girls, boarding at Dio. Next year (2026) I’ll be in Year 12, and I’m looking for a place to stay that’s close to school.

I’d really like to try something different from boarding – something a bit more laid back and less stressful. I live in Cambridge, so I’m able to go back home on weekends and during the holidays.

I’m pretty independent and responsible, and I’m hoping to find a good environment where I can feel comfortable while focusing on my studies. I’m also very interested in animals – at home I have cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and horses, so I’d love being in a household with pets too. I’m more than happy to help out around the house, and I’m also a keen babysitter.
