Prepared For Anything - October 1st to 31st ⚠️
Here at Neighbourhood Support we know first hand that communities that stay connected and prepared fare better in emergencies than those without a plan.
For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training to putting together a grab n’ go bag with survival essentials, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you can get through any situation.
This month also coincides with International Day of Disaster Reduction on October 13th and New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, on Thursday, October 17th at 1.30pm.
Let us know how you’re preparing for anything in your home, at work or in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

After School Care/Nanny/Babysitting
Hi, My name is Uma. I live in Westmere. I'm currently working as a casual ECE relieving teacher in different childcare centres in the day time. I have experience working with children since 2015. I'm available to help/look after your kids in the afternoon as after school care, nanny, evening babysitting, morning school drop off or anything in the weekends.
I have my own car and full driver's license. Please contact me on 022 5854561 or email (umakumar@y7mail.com), or message me in this Neighbourly app.
This year during Term 1 and Term 2 school I have done a After School Care job (looking after 2 kids from Westmere Kindergarten & Westmere School). Now I'm available to work anytime during this Term 3 & Term 4 School.
