Hi everyone,
I am 19 years old and a student at Waikato University studying early childhood. I have just completed my second year of my degree and will partake in my third and final year next year. I have a wide range of experience looking after children of all different ages, ranging from 3 months - 10 years. All with a variety of different duties and or needs. I have juggled up to three part time babysitting jobs at a time as the days and times I was needed varied. I am a reliable, responsible, energetic nanny/babysitter.
I am a registered health professional who works with specifically children and their families. I am seeking work outside of my professional role where I can help you in your home or give you a much deserved break and mind your children for you. I am first aid trained, police checked and vulnerable children’s vetted all for my RHP job. Most importantly, I am a mama of two beautiful children.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Tauranga for work.

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.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Tauranga for work.
