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.
I can travel to surrounding suburbs/towns of Christchurch for work.

While I am not yet first aid qualified, I do have the training due to Cadets. Cadets is a military youth organisation (think scouts). Within cadets I have completed vigorous first aid training, as well as functional leadership training, as I help oversee the training and responsibility of the cadets.
I have babysat my younger sister and her friends afterschool since I was 12 (4 years) and helped them all with things like learning to cook/bake, homework help, and assisting with chores.

Your dogs new best friend! ~ Reliable and trustworthy :)
I have recently moved to Christchurch and miss my dogs back home in Ireland very much so would love to care for yours! I grew up with a dog my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I adore dogs and think that they’re the best companions and so would do my best to care for yours. I have previous experience in dog walking/sitting for other people which I did a number of times back home. I also have personal experience with my own dogs, one of which I cared for from when he was a puppy to when he was very old.My family has also had the addition of two new pups and so I'm well aware of all the energy and care that is needed for them! If you need your dog walked, checked on during the day or even just some play time and belly rubs I would love to help out!
