Is anybody looking for a babysitter?
Hi everyone!
I am currently working only in the evenings, so have a lot of free time during the day or on the weekends if anyone is looking for a babysitter, especially during the school holidays.
About me:
I am 30 years old, run my own business teaching dance, and am local to St Albans. I have my full license, and car that is rego'd and warranted. I have no kids of my own, but have 4 nieces and nephews that I look after regularly, and have been babysitting since I was a teen.
I do not hold a current first aid certificate, but have done the course many times as I was a support worker/ caregiver for both elderly and people with mental health disabilities. There isn't much I can't handle!
Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
