Private PA Required
My dad is a 70 year old stroke survivor and he is looking for a private personal assistant to job share. He lives in sunnyhills. The hours are within 10-1pm daily (usually around 2 hours). Ideally looking for someone to pickup the Tuesday/Wednesday although this can be flexible. Also looking for someone to do 1 hour on Sunday lunchtimes.
Duties are varied but can include;
Feeding the cat
Preparing lunch
Preparing dinner on occasion (plated and ready to be microwaved and served by someone else)
Some light housework like loading dishwasher, changing sheets, ironing (a cleaner is also employed)
Some driving to appointments may be required in his car
Some errands eg collecting prescriptions
General tasks as required
No toileting or personal hygiene assistance required
Pay is $30 per hour paid daily and $50 for the Sunday 1 hour session. You are responsible for your own tax.
Experience or interest in working with the elderly or disabled would be beneficial but not required. We would love to meet you with a view to starting in early January.

accommodation in Wellington
Hi everyone,
I’m moving to Wellington for work and looking for a place from 16 February 2026. I’m 22 and starting a full-time role as a young graduate professional in IT/Data Science in the CBD.
I’m tidy, respectful, quiet, non-smoker, and like keeping my space clean. Outside of work I enjoy music and photography, but I do keep things quiet at home. I don’t have a car, so good bus access or train to the CBD is important.
What I’m after:
-Prefer living alone (studio/bedsit) but open to a quiet flat too
- Easy bus access or walking distance to the CBD
- Furnished
- Close to a supermarket
- Long-term
- Budget up to $400/week
- Move in early Feb 2026 or late Jan
Just checking if you know any places
Thank you
Regards, Reuben
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
