Driving lessons for Mums

Amie Maga from Migrant Action Trust

Happy Mother's day to all super mums!

and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?

Looking for odd jobs

Maya from Sandringham

Hi all!

I’m looking for any odd jobs around Auckland. I’ve just finished my degree and will be heading overseas in 8 weeks and I’m looking to make some cash!

I have experience in child care (6 years), animal care (4 years), gardening, cleaning and anything else you can think of!


Please send me a message or leave a comment as I’d love to have a chat about anything you need ☺️
