I take care of what matters most to you, your children or your pets, with patience, responsibility and a lot of heart.

Hi, I am 19 years old and currently doing a Work and Travel trip in New Zealand. I come from Germany, where I gained a lot of experience working with children. I have supported primary school classes on my days off with projects, trips and creative afternoons, helped with tutoring and organized and supervised children’s programs on weekends.

I grew up in a large house in the countryside in Germany, with playful and cuddly cats and a beautiful garden that I regularly took care of. For the past three years, a dog also been part of my live through my partner, and have enjoyed many long and energetic walks together.

I am patient, motivated responsible and creative, and love spending time outdoors. I enjoy playing with animals, love painting and crafting, and really enjoy diving into the colorful wold of curious and lively children.

I’m looking forward to supporting you and your loved ones. Cheers, Mildred (Milli)

Babysitting!!

Hi, I'm Buthmi and I'm turning 16 (may) this year! I'm a bright and cheerful person with a lovely personality, and I adore being around children. With younger siblings of my own, I've grown up learning the ins and outs of childcare. My mom is an early childhood teacher, which has also given me valuable insight into what it takes to care for young children. As a result, I've become a reliable and respectful young person who is passionate about providing care for kids.
