Hi neighbours,
I'm looking for someone to clear gutters of plant growth / rubbish from a 2 story property, therefore large extension ladder and appropriate safety gear would be required. If you are this someone or know of 'a' someone that would be interested please contact me here or on 021 734 174.
There is also garden tidy up to do on the property so ideally you were capable of doing both, however, if not, most appreciated if you got in touch anyway.

Cheers,

Are you interested in helping researchers learn more about how babies communicate?

Kirsten Sharman, Principal Advisor in the Office of the Children's Commissioner, is looking for 30 Wellington-based parents and caregivers of 9-12 month old babies to participate in the pilot stage of her PhD research.

Kirsten has developed an on-line survey to investigate how communication develops. The survey is for parents of 9-12-month-olds. It asks questions about parents’ and caregivers’ attitudes to communication and their language behaviours, and about baby’s communication.

Kirsten will come to your house (or another convenient location) to sit with you while you take the survey on-line, then talk with you afterwards how you felt it went. This will take about 20 minutes. Your answers will help Kirsten ensure the survey is suitable to be distributed to 500+ parents in 2019. You will also go into a prize draw.

Kirsten is wanting to hear from all kinds of parents and caregivers who care for babies, as long as they can speak English, live in the Wellington region and their baby is aged between nine and twelve months of age.

If you have any questions, or you would like to volunteer to participate in the study, please contact Kirsten on 0275730762, or K.Sharman@auckland.ac.nz

Approved by the University of Auckland Human Participants Ethics Committee on 26 October 2018 for three years, Reference Number 022158
