Caring and reliable set of hands for any of your needs

Hi! I’m Abigail, a 23-year-old mum to a fun, energetic 4-year-old girl—which means I’ve got real-life experience in everything from potty training diplomacy to convincing tiny humans that eating vegetables is in fact good for them.

I’m a master of fort building, expert in bedtime storytelling, and have advanced negotiation skills when it comes to extra cookies or yummy deserts (I almost always side with the parents... almost ?). I know how to keep kids entertained without screens—or glitter. I draw the line at glitter!

I’m responsible, reliable, and CPR/First Aid trained. I always leave your house looking like it did when you left (or cleaner, depending on how much fun activities we encounter). Your kids will be safe, happy, and asking when I’m coming back.

Basically, I treat every child I babysit like I’d want someone to treat mine—with love, patience, and just the right amount of silliness.

I am currently employed as a cleaner so my days can vary but send me a message and we can work something out for sure!

Let’s chat!

Hi! My name is Cici and I’m 16 years old. I’m a high school student at St Mary’s College in Hobart, where I study Health Studies, Maths, Visual Arts, and more. I’m friendly, responsible, and love spending time with both kids and animals!

I’ve completed the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award in the UK, where I learned how to be a good team player, communicate well, and take responsibility. I’ve also worked as an assistant with a theatre company, which helped me build confidence and learn how to support others.

I enjoy playing with children, keeping them entertained, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I also love walking dogs, playing with pets, and making sure they get the attention and care they need.

I’m available after school and on weekends, and I would love the opportunity to help out with pet sitting or child minding. I’m caring, trustworthy, and always happy to help!

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Daycare Provider

Follow these handy tips for hiring a private pet daycare provider so your furry friend gets the best care while you’re away.

1. Check Experience with Your Pet Type

Ask about their background caring for dogs, cats, or other pets. Make sure they understand breed-specific needs, temperaments, and behaviors.

2. Verify Training & Certifications

Look for pet CPR/first aid certification, animal handling training, or professional memberships in pet care associations.

3. Tour the Facility or Home

Visit the daycare space to check for cleanliness, safety measures, secure fencing, and pet-friendly areas.

4. Ask About Daily Routine

Find out what a typical day looks like—exercise, playtime, feeding, rest, and socialization opportunities.

5. Understand Supervision Levels

Confirm how many pets they care for at once and whether constant supervision is provided, especially during group play.

6. Review Health & Safety Policies

Ask about vaccination requirements, flea/tick prevention, emergency plans, and how illnesses or injuries are handled.

7. Check References & Reviews

Speak with past or current clients, and ask for customer reviews to ensure reliability and positive experiences.

8. Clarify Communication

Ask how they’ll keep you updated—daily texts, photos, or reports—so you know your pet is happy and safe.

9. Discuss Rates & Inclusions
