Baby sitting
Heya guys,
My name is Rachael and I am 17 years old. I have left high school and now study at NZMA studying level 4 Early childhood. I currently work 3 days a week but I am looking either causal night babysitting jobs after 6:30pm or a regular job on Mondays and Wednesday’s. I have a current first aid certificate for children and babies however I don’t have a licence. I only have learners. I would describe myself as very reliable, outgoing, not afraid to get messy and honest. My current employers pay me $22.68 but I’m happy to negotiate within reason. I finish course at 1 so I will be available from around about 2pm - 2.30 depending on location till maybe like 9pm unless it’s Friday or Saturday night which can be midnight latest. I have heaps of experience with kids ranging from the ages of 18 months to about 11 years old. I can also provide references if needed 😊
I am also available for holiday work 😁
Some things about me…
I am great at following routines. I have also done respite care for 2 years and have worked with kids with severe asthma and epilepsy. I love arts and crafts, long/short walks, reading, playing at playgrounds and music. I have completed NCEA level 1, NCEA level 2 and have started Level 4 ECE certificate so I can also help with homework and I am almost fluent in Te Reo Māori.
P.s I can sew and make patchwork quilts for charity so I could even teach someone of appropriate age.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks Rachael

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)
