IF CAN HELP IN ANYWAY!!!!

Julia from Meadowbank

Hey There

I just wanted to put this out there, if its allowed if not please take it down. Sharing on behalf of my mum who has been away for a few months overseas and is now back in NZ.

I have shared in the group before that she does house/pet sitting if anyone is interested in that type of service.

She is in a bit of a bind in between house/pet sits and I was wondering if anyone was able to help or have any suggestions 🤔

A bit of context.

I live in a 2 bedroom flat with my partner, a baby, and a toddler, and so we aren't able to help with accommodation as we are crammed already.

Mum is trying to find other accommodation in between housesits but is finding it difficult with how expensive places are. She is a retired healthcare professional and a widow, and sometimes the house sits fall through, but that is just part of the industry.

She has traveled around all over Auckland and as far as Tauranga, Rotorua, and Christchurch housesitting and sometimes heads to Christchurch as she still has family and friends down there.

She has excellent references, 20+ 5* reviews if anyone is in need of her services, as some members in here can attest. The predicament she is in, and which is why I am trying to support her, is to help find options in between house sits.

This is not something that she wants to put anyone out with, but as her daughter, I want to make sure she has a roof over her head. If we were able to, we would, of course, have her staying with us, but it just doesn't work in our current living situation.

Does anyone have a spare room, granny flat, or self-contained unit that she can rent, or air bnb for a reasonable cost from time to time or have any ideas to suggest in how we can support her?

She is also considering setting down more permanently in the future and so could be considering renting long term in order to pursue her other interests as she also works from home as a proofreader and editor and also wants to concentrate on writing and coaching.

I am sharing on my socials and in groups around her house and pet sitting, too.

If anyone can help or have any ideas, please contact her directly. Janice Given either through messenger or call or txt on 0274774228.

Thank you so much.

We're talking new year resolutions...

Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.

What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.

If you had to live out your Christmas days, would you prefer it was a summer Christmas or a winter Christmas?

House (and pet sitter0

Jan from Kohimarama

Does anyone need a house (and pet) sitter ?
One of our boys is currently on a housesit in St Heliers, looking after an elderly cat ~ this will finish on 3rd January so he is looking for a new opportunity.
He has spent 5 years as a veterinary assistant in India and has been living and studying in Auckland for the last 18 months.
His preferred area is in the Eastern suburbs of Auckland, as he works part time helping maintain our property in Kohimarama.
