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.

Responsible Teenager Wants Job!

As a 16-year-old babysitter, I have 4 years of experience caring for my younger sister and her friends after school. I'm a responsible, creative, and empathetic individual who loves spending time with children.

This year I completed my junior NCO training course for the New Zealand Cadet Force (think military version of scouts) and I love to help the cadets to become the best versions of themselves.

I'm comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and even helping with homework. My skills include drawing, reading, crafting, and playing engaging games. I don't have any special needs training, but I'm a quick learner and always prioritize the safety and wellbeing of the children in my care. I'd be happy to meet your family and show you what I can offer as your babysitter.
