I am a responsible Year 12 student at Hillmorton High School with a strong academic record, including NCEA Level 1 with Excellence. I have hands-on experience caring for children as a Holiday Programme Caregiver, where I supervised groups, ensured safety, and communicated with parents. My additional work experience in hospitality and managing an Airbnb has developed my reliability, organisation, and ability to handle responsibility independently. I am trustworthy, patient, and able to maintain a safe, clean, and positive environment, making me well-suited for babysitting and animal sitting roles.
