Do you, or someone you know, need a house sitter between 1 Aug and 31 December 2023?

Sheridan from Kohimarama

If you prefer the peace-of-mind of 'in-home' care, I can help with that. My current cat and housesit in St Heliers finishes on 1 August so I'll be available to mind yours anytime after that. If you don't have any pets but prefer your home looks like there's someone home, I can help with that too.

Happy to look after your dog although typically, owners prefer someone home during the day but if that’s not an issue, we can talk about that.

ABOUT ME
I’m nearing retirement and planning my VanLife adventures. I will soon buy and fit-out my own van before heading off to finish hiking the rest of the great walks, riding my bike anywhere I want and bikepacking around our stunning country.

I currently work full time as a Documentation Specialist for a software company Monday to Friday in the Auckland CBD and ride to work most days. I have the option to work from home one day per week.

I do gardening, mow lawns, pull weeds…whatever is required to keep your home looking ‘loved and lived in’.

DURATION
Ideally, at least 4 weeks to as long as required. But if you’re away a bit short of that time, please ask me.

I'm available from 1 August to 31 December 2023.
Happy to pay for water, gas, power and internet usage.

Please reply to this post or just send me a personal message via Messenger or Facebook - I'm very easy to find.

SUBURBS
Any homes located in or on the fringes of these suburbs:
St Heliers
Mission Bay
Orakei
Glendowie
Remuera
Meadowbank

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
