Growing up with my mum as an in-home early childhood education (ECE) teacher, I’ve been immersed in the world of childcare from a young age. I’ve learned valuable skills like engaging children in fun and educational activities, creating a safe and nurturing environment, and understanding the unique needs of kids at different stages of development. Babysitting has been a natural part of my life, and I’m passionate about providing reliable and caring support for families. My ultimate goal is to become an ECE teacher, so I bring dedication and enthusiasm to every babysitting role.

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!

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.

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.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Dog Walker

Follow these handy tips for hiring a dog walker so you know your pup is in safe, reliable hands.

1. Check experience

Look for walkers who have worked with dogs of similar size, breed, and temperament.

2. Verify credentials

Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.

3. Request references

Speak to past or current clients for honest feedback.

4. Meet in person

Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.

5. Discuss routines

Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.

6. Ask about group walks

Clarify whether they walk multiple dogs at once or provide solo walks.

7. Check reliability

Confirm their backup plan in case they’re sick or unavailable.

8. Look for communication

Choose someone who provides updates, photos, or reports after walks.

9. Test with a trial walk

Start with a short session to assess how your dog and the walker get along.

10. Clarify policies

Go over payment, cancellations, keys/access to your home, and emergency procedures.
