Make a difference with your strong interpersonal skills
Part time work in Browns Bay
Support a young person with a disability
Are you empathetic and confident?
A family in Browns Bay on the North Shore are looking for someone to support their 12-year-old daughter after school. For two or three afternoons initially, the role is to do some baking together and help with homework. This cute and curious child loves to ask all the questions and will love to have you there for her support. She loves games, baking and going to the playground and her disability can mean she doesn’t know when it’s time to finish.
She needs reassurance and clear answers to her questions. Your interpersonal skills and strong boundaries mean you are very aware of how you interact with her and guide conversations that won’t get misinterpreted or confused. Structure, consistency and ability to stick to the plan are crucial for success. This may suit a confident mature person with the ability to understand the bigger picture.
Are you up for the challenge to support this young girl to be successful? You will need a full licence and a car. Pay is $30 ph.

Flying Kites helps people with disabilities find amazing people to support them to live their lives and achieve their dreams. #FlyingkitesNZ

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
