Good afternoon,

I am a third-year medical student home from Otago for the summer holidays. Due to covid, my after-school care job could not start, and was wondering if anyone needed any child-minding, specifically prior to Christmas. I have previous work in child-minding and thoroughly enjoy spending time with kids as this has encouraged my interest in hopefully being a pediatrician.
I am fully available until Christmas, have access to my own car, full driver's license, first aid certificate, and am fully vaccinated.

Kind Regards,
Shani
