More than a Homestay | Can you help?
Have you ever considered having a boarder?
Are you trustworthy, compassionate, enthusiastic and reliable?
Could you provide a safe and engaging home environment for a girl with a disability?
We are looking for someone to welcome our daughter with additional needs into their home and provide 2-3 overnight stays while she attends a specialist school during the week. Our family of five live on Waiheke and she needs to live close to Wilson school (in Takapuna) as the commute is not a realistic option for her. She is looking for a support carer and buddy to provide a home away from home, where she can laugh, relax and get the personal care support that she needs.
She is a friendly, enthusiastic and engaging girl, who loves baking, dressing up, water play, singing, meditation and chocolate cake. We need someone who can help her with the things most 13 year old’s need help with (dinner, laundry, making sure they are on time for school), plus she needs help with some extra things (like showering, toileting reminders and helping her communicate).
She would come and stay at your place 2 nights a week, so you need to have a warm, safe, smoke free home, where she could have her own space, a lovely meal and someone to engage with before and after school while she is with you. The pay is attractive and you would be paid both for the hours that you provide support to her and an allowance for her boarding in your home. If you would like to know more or think this could be the opportunity you have been looking for then we would love to chat.

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

Have You Had Your Annual Diabetes Review Yet?
If you live with diabetes, your annual diabetes review with our Registered Nurse is one of the most important appointments of the year.
This check-up isn’t just a routine visit it’s a proactive way to protect your health and prevent complications.
During your annual review, our RN will:
✔️ Check your HbA1c and blood sugar control
✔️ Review your blood pressure and cholesterol
✔️ Arrange blood tests if needed
✔️ Check your feet (early detection prevents serious problems)
✔️ Review your medications
✔️ Support healthy lifestyle goals
✔️ Answer any questions or concerns
Diabetes can affect many parts of the body including your heart, kidneys, eyes, and feet. Regular reviews help us pick up small changes early, before they become bigger issues.
📞 If you receive a recall from us, please don’t ignore it. Booking your annual diabetes review is one of the best steps you can take to stay well and in control of your health.
Your health matters and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
