Babysitting
Hi there! My name is Ava and i'm a 17 year old living in Avalon who is currently looking for some babysitting opportunities! I live by a bus stop and a train station so it doesn't matter how far you live. I have four younger siblings so I know how to look after kids at all ages. One of my younger brothers has autism so I also know how to work with kids who have extra needs. I have done babysitting many times before with up to 11 kids at once and I was also a leader at my church camp many times which meant dealing with large groups of around 30 kids. If you are interested or know someone who would be my number is 0211839645. Thank you!

Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens
It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset.
