Skills Update Training Institute

First I completed the National Certificate in Health, Disability and Aged Support Core Competencies Level 3 (Care for the Older Person), and this month I completed the NMIT Certificate in Community Support Services (Care for the Older Person) Level 4.

I moved to NZ from Samoa in 2006. Before starting training with Skills Update I was a fulltime stay at home mum of 5 boys. I love being a mum but I felt restless and wanted to get out of the house and learn some skills. I saw the course advertised on Facebook and thought I would give it a go. I struggled with some assignments at times, but my tutor Lyn Main was there every step of the way; supporting and encouraging me to continue.

Lyn helped me to get work experience while I was studying level 3, and I ended up getting a job with them. I now work for them fulltime. I am so happy to be working; my family are now free from struggle.

While studying, I learnt about holistic care; how to best care for clients by being polite, treating them equally, and communicating clearly – even with those who can’t talk. A lot of communication happens with our eyes. I am happy to care for the residents as they leave this world. I love my job.

In my job I now orientate new students on work experience. I love to show others how to interact with the residents in a professional and caring way. Next year I am looking to start my training as an enrolled nurse.

Doing this study has changed me. I used to be a stressed out, angry mum. I will never forget the support I received from this course. I was able to share problems and gain advice. I am now a happy mum.

I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to undertake this study, and would encourage all interested students to come and enrol in the new NZ Certificates in Health and Wellbeing, levels 3 and 4 being offered through Skills Update in collaboration with NMIT this year. “

The Accelerate Education Division of Skills Update is taking new enrolments now for the NZ Certificates in Health and Wellbeing (Health Assistance) level 3, and Advanced Support level 4. Classes will be in West and South Auckland, so secure your place in the April intakes by contacting Jessica on 257 3155 ext 770, 021 533 705 or jessica@skillsupdate.co.nz. Places are open to all NZ citizens and permanent residents.

We will go above and beyond to remove the guilt of leaving your dog at home when you can't be there. A daily walk & cuddle with a Pet Nanny will make all the difference to your dog's well being. Here's why:

1. You have already chosen the best and kindest option for your pet by choosing professional in-home care and The Pet Nannies Ltd are the best and kindest in-home pet care option.

2. We started The Pet Nannies in early 2017 and we have put our heart and souls into creating a pet care service that provides top quality pet care and true peace of mind to South Auckland Pet Parents, in a market that is flooded with 'cowboys'.

3. A large focus for our team is being worthy of your trust and giving you the actual peace of mind that you are paying us for. Our service should be completely transparent and open so you can see you are getting what you are paying for.

4. One thing that is crucial to us is that there are foolproof systems in place to stop unacceptable errors. We have spent time pouring through customer feedback and complaints from other pet care businesses, Facebook groups and forums and learning from them, to ensure The Pet Nannies Ltd has all bases covered when it comes to your pets, your home and also our staff.

5. We get it! We are pet owners and animal lovers too. We understand that this is your baby, and that we are entering your home. Our Pet Nannies are professional, mature, have ongoing training and also have been police checked. We have liability insurance and are members of Pet Sitters International.

6. We follow your instructions about your dog's routines and habits, even the ones you know are barmy... especially those ones! We collect a mountain of information from you before we even start, to ensure we know & understand your dog as well as we can. We spend time working out the best & safest way to walk your dog and will customise any training required.

7. We embrace technology and use a dedicated Pet Care software that includes a really convenient client portal and safety alerts so nothing is forgotten & no one can be missed.

8. We know you're going to be wondering where we went and what we did on the walk so we send visit reports with timestamps, tracking maps and task lists accompanying messages and pictures from your Pet Nanny Dog Walker.

9. We actively provide home security as part of our task list, it's not just an afterthought! We also use unmarked cars and don't wear uniforms so as not to draw attention to the fact that you are not home.

10. $35 Gift for New Clients!!

Visit our website to learn more about us, see our range of well priced services, meet the staff and peruse the personally recommended pet products for sale in our online shop.

Do you or any friends or family members have an exceptionally social and well-mannered animal? We’re currently looking for new SPCA Outreach Therapy Pet Volunteers.

We believe that pet therapy can help people in institutions where they may feel isolated and lonely. As a volunteer with the programme, you (and your pet!) will be bringing joy and comfort to people in rest homes, hospitals, and mental health wards.

Prior to being accepted into the programme, all animals undergo an assessment that measures their sociability, temperament, obedience and confidence. Unfortunately we are unable to accept animals that show signs of fearfulness or aggression. Animals are also required to undergo a Vet Health Check to ensure they are vaccinated, microchipped, desexed and in good health. Volunteers who are accepted will receive training and be placed at a facility they can continue to visit (typically weekly or fortnightly) on an ongoing basis.

If you and your animal are interested in volunteering with Outreach Therapy Pets please visit our website for more information and to apply.

Thank you for offering to share the joy your animal gives you with others.
