Demi Au Pair
Kia ora,
ETC is still looking for host families for some of our demi-pair students in 2020!
Our demi-pair students study English part-time, Monday to Friday from 9am โ 12pm and outside of that are available to do 15 hours of childcare/house work in exchange for food and accommodation - so perfect for families who may need an extra pair of helping hands.
I have one demi-pair who is available immediately, already in NZ and ready to meet her perfect host family! I have two more arriving in March.
Hosting a demi-pair is a great experience for families and children, so if you, or someone you know may be interested please check out the attached poster for my contact details, or message me here.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Allie
Seeking Summer Pocket Money
Are you planning to go away over the holidays?
After doing really well for the last couple of summers and absolutely loving it, our enthusiastic 13-year-old is once again offering her services for pet and plant care over the coming summer.
Over the last few summers, she has managed to earn enough to buy herself a cake mixer, a Fitbit, roller skates, clothes, an assortment of fun items, endless packets of Mentos, and even funded all her spending money for an overseas trip, with enough left over to last her through the year. ๐ While she isn't sure what next year will bring, she is eager to save up a few dollars to make the most of whatever opportunities come her way.
She's keen to take care of small pets and birds, water pot plants and gardens, walk friendly dogs, and more. She is available immediately and throughout the summer until the end of January. Please consider her if you're planning to be away for a few days or a few weeks.
Rates are negotiable, and references are available from happy customers, several of whom have kept her on for weekend work throughout the year.
As always, she will be fully supervised! ๐ Text me at 0226206258 to arrange an introductory visit. ๐
