House sitting
Kia ora koutou,
My wife, Alexa, and I are currently house sitting in Khandallah and we are looking for house sits in the surrounding area in March and early April.
So far this year we have house sat and pet minded at eight different addresses in Khandallah, Ngaio, and Eastbourne, we have been Police vetted by the House Sitting Company, and we have very content house owners to call upon should you require references.
We love pets (cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, you name it!) and have both had pets growing up, so we know how to look after them - even the toughest.
So, if you require someone to mind your beloved pets or look after your place then get in touch.
Contact me on 0272381074 or email brettjeffreyreid@gmail.com
Don't hesitate to drop us a line. We'd love to meet you to discuss your house sit. :)
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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
