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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.
