Work wanted

Katie from Stanmore Bay

Hi there 👋
I’m Katie, a local Stanmore Bay mum raising two awesome boys (12 & 14) and offering before & after-school care, school drop-offs/pick-ups, or daytime care for little ones while you work.

We’re an outdoorsy, creative household 🌊

Think beach walks, skate parks, Lego builds, movies, library visits, arts & crafts and cooking together.

Sometimes we’re strangers who haven’t met yet… but often become friends 😊

I’m also happy to offer gentle daytime support for elderly parents, such as companionship, going for a walk, or helping them get out and about while you’re busy.

Or need help decluttering your home.

If you’re looking for a reliable, caring local mum to help make your days a little easier, I’d love to chat.

Feel free to message me 🌻

Rates can be discussed when we meet.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We want to know: Are you seeing signs of Auckland's economy improving in your industry or neighbourhood? Whether it's busier shops, new projects kicking off, or just a shift in the mood ...

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
