Hi, my name is Maia and I’m a responsible 16-year-old with a genuine love for both children and animals. I offer safe, caring, and reliable help with pet sitting, pet walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and basic grooming (like brushing and baths). I can also assist with simple medication (oral, as instructed by owners).
Families can trust me to be punctual, attentive, and caring, whether it’s keeping pets happy and comfortable or providing safe babysitting. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after the ones you love, and I take that responsibility seriously.

As a 16-year-old babysitter, I have 4 years of experience caring for my younger sister and her friends after school. I'm a responsible, creative, and empathetic individual who loves spending time with children.
This year I completed my junior NCO training course for the New Zealand Cadet Force (think military version of scouts) and I love to help the cadets to become the best versions of themselves.
I'm comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and even helping with homework. My skills include drawing, reading, crafting, and playing engaging games. I don't have any special needs training, but I'm a quick learner and always prioritize the safety and wellbeing of the children in my care. I'd be happy to meet your family and show you what I can offer as your babysitter.
I can travel to surrounding suburbs/towns of Christchurch for work.
