Kind, Caring, Loving, Friendly

Hi All,

My name is Abby, I am 24, Christchurch born and raised, experienced with hands on care.

It is in my nature to be a carer for all! Whether that be children, teens, adults, elder or animals (anyone or anything in need of love, care and reassurance). My goal is always to ensure the best for all.

I have such a positive, calm, kind, caring energy that projects to all those around.

I have experience with children and looking after them.

I have done all sorts, whether it be just helping keep an eye on the little ones & putting them to bed, to preparing and cooking meals. To taking to school, events, extra-curricular activities.

I also have a lot of experience in cleaning, house work, clearing and helping get homes back into organised matters.

I have always had some kind of animal in my life, dogs, cats, fish. I have been a reliable dog walker, trainer and carer. Many people leave the responsibility of caring for their own pet whwn away whether it be house visiting or overnight stays.

Welcome message:

Hi I’m Zara, I’m 17 and currently in my last two years of high school and I would love to baby/pet sit for you. I love to paint and create different art and craft projects, bake and anything science related whether that be trailing experiments or simply reading research. This means a child who is creative or interested in learning new things is a great fit. I am on the reserved side but I have a lot of patience and love to have a laugh. I also have a lot of experience with shy and anxious kids as well as kids who may be neurodivergent.

I look forward to hearing from you, Zara
