Activity summary

Nursing student with a love for pets and walking.

Hi! My name is Liam, and I absolutely love animals — especially dogs! I’m also a nursing student, so caring for others, whether it's people or pets, is something that comes naturally to me. Although my schedule can be a bit unpredictable, I always make time for what I love most — helping others and caring for animals and kids alike.

I grew up on a farm, so I have plenty of experience with all sorts of dogs and animals, as well as caring for younger children in different settings. I’ve spent a lot of time walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. The same goes for kids — I’m patient, understanding, and always focused on making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Whether it's a quick walk around the block, some playtime in the park, hanging out and keeping your pet company while you're away, or babysitting your little ones, I’m committed to making sure everyone feels loved and well taken care of. For safety, I only accept pets that are fully vaccinated and leash-trained, and I’m happy to follow any routines or guidelines you have for your children.

If you’re looking for someone dependable and compassionate who will treat your pets and kids like family, I would be honored to help!

Activity summary

Need help with your busy days? I am here to help!!

Kia ora,

I am Irushi Jalangana, a year 13 student at Christchurch Girls High School. My mom identifies me as a confident, outgoing and responsible girl and my friends identify me as an over- caring and trustworthy companion. I have always had a goal to work with children and work towards being a paediatrician one day. I currently work casually in hospitality during the weekends and am finding something to do during the rest of my time including weekdays and the weekends when I am free. It would be a great privilege for me to care for your beautiful little children as it will allow me to gain more experience towards my future goals as well.

From where I grew up I was always taught to help people even if I have nothing left at the end to see a sparkling smile on someone else and this soon became my hobby. Taking this into mind, I am positive that I will be able to be a huge support to the best of my ability whether it be caring for your child or taking your pet to get some fresh air.
