Flexible babysitter

I am a mother (6,11) and registered nurse of 10 years. I am happy to look after children from all walks of life.

I am confident to look after children who require some additional needs, both medically and physically.

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.

Fun and responsible medical student :)))

Hello!

My name is Nika and I’m a final year medical student looking to make a bit of money before finishing my degree and starting work as a doctor! Although I don’t have much prior official babysitting experience, due to the nature of my degree have spent a lot of time around children (I love Paediatrics!) and am well versed in the art of giving out stickers. I have medical knowledge as well as a first aid certificate and I love spending time with children as I have a very nurturing personality. I am super responsible but still know how to have fun and keep kids entertained! I love arts and crafts, music, reading and I am open to teaching children any new skill their parents may want them to learn! Feel free to reach out if you think I am a good fit to look after your little angel :))).

Welcome message:

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 :)

Hello! My name is Sierra, and I’m originally from the USA (St. Louis, Missouri). I’m currently studying at the University of Auckland, pursuing a degree in International Law with a focus on Justice and Human Rights. I have a deep passion for working with people, and I bring a wealth of experience in both baby and pet sitting.

I have over 9 years of experience babysitting children, ranging from family and friends to new families, and I’ve developed a strong ability to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children of all ages. In addition, I’ve spent 10 years pet-sitting and walking dogs, with significant experience managing large dog breeds, including Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian Huskies.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with children in various settings. I was a Nursery Staff member caring for children ages 0-6, and a Swim Instructor where I taught swimming to children ages 3-8. Additionally, I volunteered with the International Rescue Committee, assisting asylum-seeking families, and worked as a Worldpackers Volunteer in Tanzania, teaching English and math to children ages 1-6. These experiences have given me the skills to manage a wide range of child care needs and ensure a positive, safe experience for all.

I am also a certified Lifeguard. Through this I've gained extensive knowledge in water safety, ensuring the safety of over 100 guests in a busy pool environment, and open water events for lake, oceans and rivers. Additionally, as Media Coordinator for Backyard Lifeguards, I focus on sharing valuable water safety information with the public, creating engaging content to educate and excite people about sun safety and water-related tips.

I am CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring that I’m prepared to respond to any emergency. I also hold an Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card, which demonstrates my commitment to safety and professionalism.

I look forward to offering my trusted services for your pets and children here in Auckland!

  • Arts / crafts
