Kind, Patient, Caring Sitter + Clean criminal record available to review

Hi! I’m Sienna — I’m 23, recently married to my lovely husband Luke, and we live in a townhouse in central Tauranga with our little pup Daisy and our cat Beans. ??

I’ve always loved being around kids and can’t wait to start a family of our own someday soon. In the meantime, I’m soaking up as much baby time as I can with my gorgeous little niece next door! My sister-in-law and her husband live right beside us and recently welcomed their first baby. Being so close (literally and personally!), I’ve been lucky to be quite involved — helping with everything from burping and nappy changes to settling, bathing, and dressing.

I’ve also done some babysitting for my younger cousins over the years, and while that’s been more casual, I’ve always found caring for children to come very naturally to me. I love leaning into the routines — whether it’s bedtime stories, meal prep, playtime, or tidying up — and I’d be thrilled to bring that same energy to your home.

I’d truly love the opportunity to care for your little ones and be a calm, kind, and helpful presence in your day.

I have a full drivers license, and have never received as much as a parking ticket! I am generally able to use my own car, unless my husband is needing it.

Babysitter

Hi there, I saw that you are looking for a babysitter and I would be keen to help! I am currently in year 12 at school completing Math, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, English and Outdoor education (in which we are currently teaching year 9s). I am comfortable helping with homework and I also can help with cleaning and cooking (as I have also taken food technology). I also have some experience looking after younger kids, as I often babysit my younger sibling. I understand the importance of ensuring children are safe, happy, and entertained. I'm responsible, reliable, and can adapt to any routines you have in place for your kids. Additionally, I have a flexible schedule outside of school hours (except for gym), making it easy to accommodate your needs. I'd love the opportunity to help out and ensure your kids are well taken care of. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Sitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a pet sitter to ensure your furry family members are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

1. Check Experience

Ask how long they’ve been pet sitting and what types of pets they’ve cared for. Experience with your specific type or breed is a big plus.

2. Verify Credentials

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

3. Ask for References

Speak with past clients to confirm reliability, trustworthiness, and quality of care.

4. Meet in Person

Schedule a meet-and-greet to see how your pet reacts to the sitter and ensure a comfortable connection.

5. Discuss Duties Clearly

Define whether they’ll walk, feed, administer medication, groom, or provide other services. Be specific about expectations.

6. Check Availability

Ensure the sitter can meet your schedule, including holidays, weekends, or overnight needs.

7. Understand Rates & Payment

Clarify fees, overtime charges, and any additional costs (like travel, supplies, or emergency care).

8. Review Emergency Plans

Ask how they handle medical issues, accidents, or other emergencies, including access to your vet.

9. Communication Style

Confirm how often and in what form they’ll provide updates—texts, photos, or reports.

10. Start with a Trial

Consider a short test visit or day before leaving for an extended period to see how your pet responds and assess the sitter’s reliability.
