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.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
