Hello! My name is Sierra, and I’m originally from the USA (St. Louis, Missouri). I’m currently studying at the University of Auckland, pursuing a degree in International Law with a focus on Justice and Human Rights. I have a deep passion for working with people, and I bring a wealth of experience in both baby and pet sitting.

I have over 9 years of experience babysitting children, ranging from family and friends to new families, and I’ve developed a strong ability to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children of all ages. In addition, I’ve spent 10 years pet-sitting and walking dogs, with significant experience managing large dog breeds, including Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian Huskies.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with children in various settings. I was a Nursery Staff member caring for children ages 0-6, and a Swim Instructor where I taught swimming to children ages 3-8. Additionally, I volunteered with the International Rescue Committee, assisting asylum-seeking families, and worked as a Worldpackers Volunteer in Tanzania, teaching English and math to children ages 1-6. These experiences have given me the skills to manage a wide range of child care needs and ensure a positive, safe experience for all.

I am also a certified Lifeguard. Through this I've gained extensive knowledge in water safety, ensuring the safety of over 100 guests in a busy pool environment, and open water events for lake, oceans and rivers. Additionally, as Media Coordinator for Backyard Lifeguards, I focus on sharing valuable water safety information with the public, creating engaging content to educate and excite people about sun safety and water-related tips.

I am CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring that I’m prepared to respond to any emergency. I also hold an Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card, which demonstrates my commitment to safety and professionalism.

I look forward to offering my trusted services for your pets and children here in Auckland!

Hello!

My name is Alamea, but many call me Mea. I am Tongan - born here in Auckland but was raised it Tonga for the first 9 years. I am friendly, caring, empathetic, hardworking and patient!

I am a Year 12 student at St. Cuthberts College.

I love cooking, baking and to watercolour. In addition, I like to walk, gym, I watch a lot of true crime, history shows or episodes and TED talks in my free time.

I am the oldest of 3. I have a 6 year old sister, and a 5 year old brother. In my family, my parents have always emphasised presence because of the age gap between my siblings and I, so I do spend a lot of time with them. Making school lunches and breakfast, picking them up for school when I can, shopping days, lunch dates and park dates are regular things we do together so I am open to activities such as taking you kid(s) to the park. I love to cook and bake and I cook regularly during the week for all different meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and have done service at Everybody Eats. Onehunga where I cooked and plated food mostly, therefore I am very comfortable with any cooking.

I am just finishing the first year of the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma, which requires a lot of studying, therefore I have naturally learnt to like studying. I have tutored at my school which I really enjoyed, therefore I am capable of any school assistance or homework for your child(ren).

Due to school, I have learnt and is still learning to time manage and organise and its importance. Having little siblings means I do tidy a lot after them, but also help them with first steps of tidying after themselves. I am also weary of my parents, and all the work on their shoulders, so I help my keeping the house tidy, bathrooms, kitchen and living spaces which means I can most definitely help with any housekeeping required!

I have experience with allergies. My sister has a food allergy which I am aware of to help her. I am open to any child.

Having little siblings, as well as engaging with care for Year 0 students at my school and tutoring, I really like caring for children and it’s something I feel very comfortable with. I love to help kids and I enjoy doing a variety of activities with them.

My skills and interests:

  • Sports
  • Nature
  • Animals
  • Gardening
  • Cooking

Looking for babysitting or petsitting work around central Auckland!

Hey I am 19 years old and am getting an operation done on my knee in October so I am looking for some chill easy work to do while I am recovering as I will be very flexible and need something to rely on to help pay for my studies etc, I am a reliable worker and really good with kids as all my cousins are much younger then me, I can also do pets because I have never lived without a dog or a cat in my life so I have the capabilities to do so, I have also learnt things from professional dog trainers but I am not an expert haha. If chosen, I would do these jobs sometimes with my partner who would come free of charge when she isn't rostered to work, she works for the police and can prove it which I think would be reassuring that your kids are in the right hands. I would love to be able to sit down and relax and do my studies as well as a combination of helping and looking after kids/pets and will be very flexible on hours, I can also help around the house a bit and help to make some simple meals etc.

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.
