After graduating, Caren worked in several hospitals in Holland, Germany (Munich) and France (Paris).
Caren as a squatter (1977), at Douwes Dekkerstraat in Amsterdam. The
window looked out on gardens and sheds, accommodating about a hundred more or less wild
cats. On the second floor was the livingroom and a kitchen with shower, the third floor
had a bedroom. When Fred came back from England, he moved in with her in that house:
number 29 II a. Caren's sister Ansje used to live on the first floor for a while.
Caren then worked as a nurse at Valeriuskliniek and Onze
Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis in Amsterdam.
