Looking for a nanny 6-15 June
Hi - We are going away overseas from the 6th of June (evening) to 15th June (morning) and need a full time nanny for our 2 children (who are 6 and 4). It would involve dropping them off at school and daycare in the morning, and then picking them up afterwards (around 5pm) making some dinner etc. and staying over.
We live in Paremata with great waterviews, spa pool etc.
In the weekend would just need to get my son to soccer as well. Full driver's licence etc.
Our sister-in-law was meant to be looking after them but she has had a family emergency.
Please PM or text me if you are interested - Kate 027 411 3003
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)
.
