Support services for young girls and woman
I’m really happy to introduce Caring Connections, my new sole support service specifically for women and girls of all ages from 13 years and up. I offer a range of services dedicated to providing compassionate care and support for those that may need a helping hand.
At Caring Connections, my goal is simple: to connect with people as equals, ensuring that no one feels above or below another. Whether you or a loved one you know needs help with daily tasks, companionship, or supportive care, I’m here to provide exactly that.
I currently hold a Level 4 Certificate in Health and Wellbeing and a Level 6 Diploma in Youth Work. In 2025, I am also working toward completing my Bachelor's in Youth Development by November 2025. With 5 years of experience in support work and strong references, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the care I provide.
Please take a moment to visit my website at www.caringconnections.co.nz... to learn more about the services I can provide and how I can bring peace of mind to you and your family.

Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
