Need a sitter over the holdiays?
Hi -
I am a year 12 student who attends St Oran's and I would love to hang out with your kids. I live in central Hutt, so prefer jobs I can walk too. If you are looking for a nanny or a sitter over the holidays let me know as I love kids. I have worked as a babysitter for 5+ years, run camps and worked with disabilities as well. I love babies and kids all ages. Happy to provide references as well. Please call or text me at 022 504 6071
Thanks!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
