Sian | Plunket Nurse​,​ Mum of Two & Your Calm-in-the-Chaos Sitter

Hi, I’m Sian, a UK-born, NZ-based mum of two (ages 4 and 10), a Plunket nurse, and an emergency nurse with 18 years of experience across the UK and New Zealand. I’ve seen it all, from newborn snuggles to teenage eye-rolls, and I bring a calm, capable presence to every family I support. As a mum, I know the juggle is real. As a nurse, I’ve worked with families from all walks of life, supporting everything from feeding and settling newborns to navigating the big feelings of toddlers and teens. I’m here to be your extra pair of hands, your backup, your “it’s handled” person. Whether it’s a quiet night in with a newborn or an active afternoon at the playground, I adapt to your family’s needs with empathy, energy, and a touch of fun. ⭐️ What I'm Great at: - Care for children from infancy through teenage years - Experience with special needs children - Swimming supervision - Comfortable with pets - Flexible availability, including sleepovers when I don't have my own children
