Welcome message:

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.

    • Languages I can speak: English

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’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.

Do you need a babysitter?

Hello! My name is Kristina and I'm 18 year old student, having just finished my last year of high school. A little bit about me, one of my biggest passions is dance. I also love to do embroidery and read. I plan to go to university in February and get a degree in law and criminal justice.

My experience makes me good at engaging with kids and playing games with them, while also making sure everyone is being safe. I have references if you'd like them. Message me if you think I'd be a good fit for your family.

Reliable Animal Lover with Hands-on Experience in Pet Care and Dog Walking

My name is Anna and I really enjoy being around pets because I’ve grown up with them my whole life, and they’ve always felt like a natural part of my everyday life. I love how each animal has its own personality, and I find it rewarding to understand their different moods, needs, and ways of communicating. Being with pets is something I genuinely enjoy because it feels calm, grounding, and meaningful to me.

I currently have two cats back home in Denmark, and I’ve been around cats since I was very young. I’m very familiar with their routines and behaviour, and I’m used to taking care of all the daily responsibilities like feeding, cleaning, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience helping with my family’s dogs, including walking them and looking after their daily needs, as well as taking care of a neighbour’s cat.

Growing up, I also spent a lot of time on my grandparents’ farm, where I was around dogs, cats, and horses. This has helped me become very comfortable with animals in general and confident in different situations. Over time, I’ve learned that patience, calm energy, and consistency are important when working with animals, and I always try to adapt to what each pet needs in the moment.

For me, being around animals is not just something I enjoy—it’s something I naturally connect with and care deeply about.

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.
