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

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.

In this section we look at what services babysitters typically provide, how they're different to other carers, and the many benefits your family can enjoy when hiring a babysitter.

When to hire a babysitter

Every family is different and so are the requirements for hiring a babysitter. In this section, we explore the many factors that can influence when, and how often, you choose to hire a babysitter so you can have a better idea of what may be best for your family.

How to find a good babysitter

How to vet babysitting candidates

Once you have a shortlist of the best babysitters you can find, the next step is to vet them further to make sure they are who they say they are and the skills and qualifications they claim to have are valid. Follow our guides on checking babysitter references and running background checks.
