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
  • Writing

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Valentine's Day Babysitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a Valentine's Day babysitter so you can enjoy a romantic evening while knowing your kids are in safe hands.

1. Book early

Valentine’s Day is a high-demand night for babysitters, so secure someone well in advance.

2. Expect holiday rates

Babysitters often charge extra for special occasions, so budget for a premium.

3. Choose someone trusted

Go with a sitter your kids already know, or someone with strong references if it’s their first time.

4. Confirm late-night availability

Make sure the sitter is comfortable staying until your return, even if it’s late.

5. Share bedtime routines

Provide clear instructions for dinner, storytime, and bedtime so the evening runs smoothly.

6. Leave fun activities

Stock up on games, crafts, or a movie to keep the kids entertained while you’re out.

7. Plan a simple dinner for kids

Prepare or order something easy the babysitter can serve without stress.

8. Leave emergency contacts

Give them your number, backup contacts, and any medical details they might need.

9. Set house rules

Be clear on snacks, screen time, and bedtime flexibility.

10. Show appreciation

Since they’re working on a date night, consider a bonus, chocolates, or a thank-you note.

See our parents' guide to Valentine's Day babysitting for more detailed information.
