Hi, I’m Chandre. For the past four years, I’ve had the joy of working as a nanny, caring for children and becoming a trusted part of the families I support. I truly love spending time with kids—watching them learn, grow, and express their personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. I bring a calm, nurturing approach and always aim to create a safe, happy environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also a big dog lover and have a dog of my own, so I understand how important pets are as part of the family and feel completely at ease including them in daily routines.

I have over four years of experience working as a nanny in Tauranga, where I provided full-time care for children in a home environment, including supporting a child with special needs. I adapted daily routines to meet individual requirements, offered patient and attentive care, and worked closely with families to support children’s development and wellbeing.

In addition, I have experience babysitting infants and young children, confidently managing feeding, changing, settling, and maintaining safe sleep practices while creating a calm and nurturing environment.

I have also provided house-sitting and pet care for friends, including looking after dogs. This involved maintaining a clean and secure home, following feeding and exercise routines, and ensuring pets were well cared for and comfortable in their owners’ absence.

Prior to relocating to New Zealand, I worked in a daycare centre in South Africa, where I supported group care, facilitated play-based learning, and contributed to a positive and engaging environment for young children.

These combined experiences reflect my reliability, adaptability, and strong commitment to providing high-quality care for both children and animals.

Experienced Babysitter & Pet Sitter

Kia ora, I’m Saint! I am from Christchurch New Zealand and offers babysitting, pet sitting, and dog walking services and genuinely enjoy caring for both children and animals. I have completed the Plunket Babysitting Course and hold a certificate, so safety, routines, and age-appropriate care are always a priority for me.

I currently babysit for a local family and also work as a caregiver for a local elderly person, which has helped me develop strong responsibility, patience, and reliability. I’m comfortable caring for children of different ages and needs, and I’m happy to help with play, routines, light tidying, or keeping kids engaged and safe.

I’m also confident with pets, including dog walking and general pet care, and treat every home and family with respect. I can provide references from both of my current, reliable employers on request.

Please feel free to message me for a chat about what you’re looking for — I’d love to see how I can help!!

I have also volunteered at the Kind Foundation over the summer, helping counselors with kids. My role was to hangout and play with the kids, and help the counselors manage all of them. I have my full license and access to a car so I can drive kids places and can work late nights.
