Hi!!! My name is Lauren, I'm a 21 year old medical student and very keen to do some casual babysitting around Wellington! I've recently moved here for placement at Wellington Hospital, so am looking for some families in need of childcare!
My schedule is light over next couple of months so can do some daytimes as well as evenings and weekends!
I have extensive experience with children of all ages (and babies) and have been looking after kids for the last 7 years! (experience with up to 5 kids at a time) I love kids and genuinely enjoy babysitting!
I have a full license and a safe car so able to drive kids as needed!
Would love to meet you, feel free to flick me a message if you're in need of any childcare!
Thanks, Lauren.

Nearly half of first-home buyers would consider a rental

Nice Place Property Management Ltd
