Hi, I’m Jiya — a bubbly, responsible, and quietly confident babysitter based in Auckland. I’m in my second year at the University of Auckland, studying psychology, and I’ve always loved spending time with little humans. There’s something really special about creating a calm, safe space where they can just be themselves (and yes, be a bit silly too). I’ve been babysitting casually for several years — helping with after-school pickups, dinner routines, bedtime, and everything in between. I bring patience, maturity, and a big smile to every booking. Whether it’s imaginative play, story time, or winding down after a busy day, I’ve got it covered. ⭐️ What I'm Great at: - Confident with toddlers through to tweens - Super responsible (your routine = my routine) - Flexible evenings and weekends - Calm, focused, and always kind - Great with routines, homework, and mellow playtime

Experience

Experienced in looking after children in a family environment, with practical knowledge in ensuring their safety, offering attentive care, and engaging them in both fun and educational activities.

Additional Information

I also value the individuality and creativity that each child brings. Every child has their own personality, interests, and way of learning, and I enjoy adapting to their needs. Babysitting has taught me patience, problem-solving, and the importance of building trust, which are essential skills in any situation. Most importantly, I love creating meaningful connections with children and making a positive impact in their lives.

Why I love working with kids

I enjoy working with kids because of their energy, creativity, and curiosity. Their eagerness to learn and explore is inspiring, and I love creating a safe and fun environment where they can grow. Babysitting is fulfilling for me because I get to support and nurture children, whether through play, learning activities, or simply providing care and encouragement. Seeing them happy and confident makes the experience truly rewarding.
