Nanny sharing

Janine from Bishopdale

What is nanny sharing and how does it work?
Nanny sharing is a situation where two families engage the services of a single nanny to care for their children. The families literally share the nanny. "Nanny Share" is feasible in the following circumstances:

You and a neighbor/friend/ or other family have children approximately the same age.
Both parties are in agreement that having a nanny is the best option for childcare.
Work hours are compatible and child rearing philosophies are similar (pay attention to discipline methods and dietary habits).
Nanny sharing can provide the family with the finest In-Home child care at minimum cost. For slightly more dollars than a Daycare, a "Nanny Share" will free up precious family time and offer you the flexibility and affordability you deserve.

Benefits include:

Children are with friends/neighbors NOT strangers
Much more affordable
Minimum sickness
No late fees when running a few minutes behind
Bottles made/dinner table set
Light housekeeping/laundry
Professional, prompt, courteous service
Professionally screened (Criminal, Credit, Driving)

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Building job

Lesley from Bishopdale

I would like a pantry made in the gap the old hot water tank used to be. This involves a wall being taken out but it isn't load bearing.
Also a shelter outside over the bin area needs replacing.
I have tried Builders Crack and of the 3 only one turned up and I want more estimates.
Any recommendations of builders or handyman who are happy to at least have a look.
