Christchurch, Canterbury
Activity summary
Why you should consider me :)
Over the years, I’ve looked after cousins, family friends kids, and neighbour’s children. This taught me not just the basics of childcare, but also patience, responsibility as well as how to create a warm and safe environment. I’m very mindful of routines, safety guide, clear communication which I know will be the best for the children as well as for me. I make sure to keep parents updated so they always feel connected and reassured. Babysitting has never been a job for me but something I’ve grown up with and genuinely love doing. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, whether it may be helping with homework, preparing snacks, playing games or simply listening to their stories. I’m excited for the opportunity to support another family and provide reliable, caring help whenever needed.
