Housesitter/animal feeder/babysitter available!
Hi neighbours,
My name is Caitlin and I will be available for animal care/housesitting/dog walking in Wadestown and surrounding suburbs from the 13th of February 2019 onwards (when my current housesit assignment is complete). I have recently completed a degree in Early Childhood Education and am now working in this area (so am open to evening/weekend babysitting any time from now too but no after school jobs please).
Last year we had to say goodbye to our cat Mischief and I have found housesitting with animals greatly enjoyable since I no longer have my own pets. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, fish, rabbits and even chickens and horses (I was a horse owner for 7 years).
Reasonable rates for all services, can be flexible and discussed based on individual needs (generally $15/hour for babysitting and from $10/day for animal care and housesitting for one animal). I have a comprehensive first aid certificate as well as my full driver's licence.
References also available.
Feel free to message me here or give me a txt on 0278213969 to start discussions.
Cheers!
Caitlin

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
