Hi Neighbours,

I am a student looking for nannying work over the summer holidays. I am currently studying at Massey University in Wellington and will be in Hamilton for my holidays.

I have previous experience babysitting through casual neighbourhood work, as well as looking after my younger cousins and siblings. This experience ranges in ages from 4-12. I have my full drivers licence as well as access to a car.

I am available to start work after my exams finish early November 2018 until I return to university late February 2019. I am flexible to any hours and free to work more over the school holidays.

Feel free to send me a message on Neighbourly, andersonkate644@gmail.com, or 0274537997 if you are interested and I can send through my CV and references.

Thanks!

Kate.

Hi neighbours,

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.

As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.
