Hi, my name is Madde and I'm from Sweden. I grew up there and moved to New Zealand in my early 20s when I met my husband Ashley who is Kiwi. We have two beautiful children together, Sheldon and Bradley. We live in Te Kauwhata and love our community.

Greetings to all,
My Canoe is Tainui.
My Mountain is karioi .
My Sea is Hauauru.
My Land is Waikaretu.
My Marae is Weraroa.
My Sub Tribe is Ngaati Taahinga.
My Tribe is Tainui.
My name is Angel Tawhiti.

I am a Mother of 5 beautiful children, and Grand Mother of 3 handsome boys.
Te Kauwhata became home for us 5 years ago, after moving from Auckland we felt the need of a more relaxed lifestyle. I’ve been a learning assistant for 8 years now (5 years in Auckland). I am currently working as a Learning Assistant at TKP and I more than enjoy working alongside children as well as my peers.
Being a Learning Assistant isn’t just a job for me but more about making a difference in a child’s life. Laying a foundation and teaching them that anything is possible with the right awhi/support.
