I have experience with children from new borns to teens. I currently nanny 2 girls full time ages 4 and 8. My last role I nannied a 5 year old, 4 year old and just turned 2 year old twins and was with them for them nearly 2.5 years since the older 2 were 22 months and 3.5 and twins were born (starting a month before they were born) Previously I was an executive family assistant looking after 3 kids aged 6,8 and 9, I also do causal work for this family on a regular basis and the kids are now 11,12 and 14. And my previous position to that I was nanny/house manger to 4 kids ages 10months, 3,5 and 6.

I have my current first aid, police check and surf lifeguard award, so confident around water (pool and beach). I also have a full clean drivers license and a safe car. I have international nanny experience in Switzerland and Saudi Arabia and have worked as full time and part time sole charge nanny, mothers help, weekend nanny, ski resort and travel nanny and sole care over night while the parents have been out of town or the country. I also have experience with twins and special needs as well as experience with high profile and high net worth families. I have studied a course online in new born care as well as a course called Harmony in the Home which is a course targeted at offering tools and techniques for parents based on the nature of their children to support them to a more smoothly run home.

I am a very active and hands on nanny who loves getting involved with the children whether it be outside exploring or inside playing board games, making huts, reading books etc while at the same time being organised and proactive with keeping the house tidy and running smoothly. I love finding great spots around auckland to run around and explore. I believe in letting kids lead they way while being there to help and guide them so they can learn and develop in a safe and loving environment. I enjoy supporting children through their emotions by using every miss behaviour or unsettling situation to validate their feelings and coach them and support them, to help teach them what to do when it reoccurs. Either guiding them through the emotion, helping their reaction and teaching them a better outcome and response.

A bit about me, I grew up in Titirangi and went to Laingholm primary and then onto St Mary's College Ponsonby. I was a competitive swimmer and water polo player growing up, as well as getting involved in plenty of other sports. I also still enjoy other sports such as skiing, swimming (fitness), surf lifeguarding and competing (at Piha), heading to the gym and just generally living an active lifestyle exploring and adventuring on the weekends. I have, from a young age, always loved little kids and looking after them. I've done plenty of travelling and love to get out of the country, learning new cultures and experiencing the world. As well as the outdoors I love playing board games, hanging with friends, shopping and binging a good true crime doco. I have great references which I can provide upon request (written), as well as a copy of my police check, first aid cert, childcare certs and a current cv.

Looking forward to hearing from you :)

I am a mother (4,9) and registered nurse (8years). I am happy to look after children from all walks of life.

I am confident to look after children who require some additional needs.

My style of parenting is that which would align with gentle parenting. I enjoy playing with children and encouraging their imagination. I am active and take my children to the park, swimming, other outings frequently. In my family we do not allow our children to have screen time so I am very adept at finding activities for the children to do.

Rate is reflective of my qualifications and parenting experience. Rate is for up to 2 children, any additional children will be an additional per hour of $5 each.

Parents' Guide To Babysitting

Are you a babysitter? See our Babysitting Guide instead.

Jump to section:

Why hire a babysitter

In this section we look at what services babysitters typically provide, how they're different to other carers, and the many benefits your family can enjoy when hiring a babysitter.

When to hire a babysitter

Every family is different and so are the requirements for hiring a babysitter. In this section, we explore the many factors that can influence when, and how often, you choose to hire a babysitter so you can have a better idea of what may be best for your family.

How to find a good babysitter

Often the biggest challenge with hiring a babysitter is finding good candidates, to begin with. In this section, we reveal many secrets that you can use to attract the best local babysitters, we also explore alternatives to hiring babysitters that you may not have considered.

What makes a good babysitter

Finding a good babysitter is not an easy task, in this section, we highlight various qualities to look out for while you're gathering candidates for your open position. We also cover less commonly considered candidates such as male babysitters and answer commonly asked questions that parents have about them.

Babysitter interview tips

How you conduct your interview process is critical to identifying the most appropriate babysitter for your family. In this section, we run through a recommended babysitting interview format and provide tips and tricks that you can use to learn the most about your candidates. We also offer a huge list of good interview questions and how best to utilize them depending on your unique circumstances.

Babysitter pay

One of the most common questions parents have about babysitting is how much they should pay their sitter. In this section, we look at the many factors that influence babysitter pay including your geographic location, age and experience of the sitter, age and number of children, and specific job requirements.

How to vet babysitting candidates

Once you have a shortlist of the best babysitters you can find, the next step is to vet them further to make sure they are who they say they are and the skills and qualifications they claim to have are valid. Follow our guides on checking babysitter references and running background checks.

Babysitting job expectations

Babysitting jobs come with a lot of expectations from both sides, in this section we look at the common things that babysitters and parents anticipate and how good communication is critical to maintaining a good working relationship where everyone knows what is expected of them.

Special occasions

There are several key dates and events throughout the year when babysitters are in hot demand, read our guides below to give you an advantage over other families who are competing with you for the best babysitters.

Babysitting difficulties

Babysitting is not always easy for sitters or parents but it should always be safe. In this section, we reveal some key warning signs that you should be looking out for to ensure that your kids are safe and being lovingly looked after whenever you're away. We also discuss the things you can, and cannot do if you suspect something may be wrong.

Babysitting admin and tax

Hiring a babysitter comes with extra responsibilities and duties because you are an employer. In this section, we discuss the various admin tasks that may be asked of you such as writing babysitting references for past employees and we also cover how this can affect your tax.
