Milford family seeks afternoon support unicorn
Are you organised, warm & engaging?
Are you looking for a childcare role that works for you?
20-40 hours per week in Milford – This could be what you are looking for!
Your main focus will be to help an 11 year old autistic girl with her after school routine. She loves people who are warm, energetic and respectful. She enjoys being engaged and encouraged, while being allowed to lead the afternoons plans. Her disability means that she needs help with some core daily skills that she is still developing (such as personal care tasks & independence).
We are looking for an empathetic, experienced family assistant/nanny/support worker to spend time with this young lady and her two sisters 4 – 5 afternoons per week. We need you at least 2.30-6pm, but if you are open to helping more around the house and in the kitchen then your hours could be up to 11am – 7pm. We are happy to adjust the workload to match your skills and availability. Your availability to start ASAP would be a huge advantage.
You need your full driver licence and your own car to be successful in the role. We are looking for someone with childcare, disability or autism experience. If you are the person we are looking for we can support you with an engaging work environment, lots of fun and $28-$33 per hour.

Aucklanders, we want to know: How are you feeling about the current property market?
New Zealand homeowners are now more likely to sell at a loss than at any time since 2013, and if you’re in Auckland or Wellington, the odds are even higher.
But there is a silver lining: buyers are still in a strong position when it comes to negotiating prices.
So we’re curious…
How are you feeling about the current property market?
If you’re keen to dive into the details, Deborah Morris breaks down all the latest insights.
‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
