Like our PM says be kind to one another
"We are now entering a time where families are separated into individual household bubbles and unable to communicate and interact the way they normally do. Our neighbours are the ones who can step up and help."
Hi everybody. We have a 1 bedroom, self-contained studio available for immediate occupation. Please see the TradeMe listing for details: www.trademe.co.nz...
Auckland's libraries, pools and recreational centres, as well as the Maritime Museum and Art Gallery, will close for two weeks from today in line with Government recommendations to constrain the spread of COVID-19.

When I decided a couple of years ago to find a cleaner myself, it never felt entirely comfortable for me - but at the same time, I also felt happy I could give someone else a little work.
I heard today that most of my cleaner's customers have cancelled - or she's cancelled out of respect for the alert level.
So I guess this is a small challenge for my neighbours...
I know our world is changing very fast right now, but if you can afford to, please consider continuing to pay your loyal cleaner / babysitter / gardener etc. Even if it's just a partial payment as a gesture.
Obviously they won't be able to carry out your service - but maybe when the world is back to normal your house will end up extra sparkly one day or you'll find a new pot plant on your doorstep.
I appreciate this won't be possible for some but those of you doing this already, thanks for spreading kindness.
I'm not sure what we would have done if Mum's income was cut off when we were little.
And hot tip: good cleaners, babysitters and gardeners are all in hot demand on Neighbourly so looking after them now might mean someone else doesn't pinch them from you in the future - ha!
(Ironically I now regularly drive and walk past the beautiful giant house she used to clean on Remuera Road. I reckon they still have a cleaner 😂).
Hi,
My partner and I are in our late 20s/early 30s and healthy. I work from home and my partner was sent home with no work as he usually works in hospitality. That means he is mostly free during the day and we thought to offer if anyone needs or knows anyone who needs in the next 4 weeks for us to… View moreHi,
My partner and I are in our late 20s/early 30s and healthy. I work from home and my partner was sent home with no work as he usually works in hospitality. That means he is mostly free during the day and we thought to offer if anyone needs or knows anyone who needs in the next 4 weeks for us to do shopping for them and deliver it.
We wish everyone all the best in these uncertain times. Take care everyone
