Work wanted
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.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
