Trained Babysitter Available in Christchurch
Looking for a reliable babysitter in Christchurch? Finding someone you can trust with your children is important. You need a babysitter who’s properly trained, responsible, and genuinely cares about keeping your kids safe and happy.
I’m Kira from KidCare. I’m a St John first aid certified babysitter in Christchurch who provides professional evening and weekend childcare. I’m not a casual babysitter – I’ve invested in proper training because children’s safety matters.
Why Parents Choose KidCare for Babysitting:
When you need a babysitter in Christchurch, you want someone reliable and qualified. Here’s what makes KidCare different from other babysitting services:
- First Aid Certified: I have current St John first aid certification, including CPR, choking response, and emergency management. If something goes wrong, I know exactly what to do.
- Properly Trained: I’ve completed a professional babysitting course covering child safety, development, and care. This isn’t just about earning pocket money – I take this work seriously.
- Academic Success: I’m achieving merit in Year 11, which means I can help with homework if needed. I understand what schools expect and can support learning.
- Reliable and Punctual: I show up on time, follow your instructions, and communicate clearly. You can count on me to do what I say.
- Energy and Enthusiasm: I play football and love active play, but I also enjoy quiet activities like crafts and reading. I match my energy to what your children need.

Frequently Asked Questions About Babysitting
How do I know if you’re trustworthy?
Start with our free meet and greet. You’ll meet me, see how I interact with your children, and make your own judgment. I can also provide references from other Christchurch families I’ve babysat for.
What ages can you babysit?
I’m comfortable caring for toddlers through to early teens. My training covered different developmental stages and age-appropriate care.
Do you have references?
Yes. I’m happy to provide contact details for other families in Christchurch who I’ve babysat for regularly. They can tell you about their experience with KidCare.
What if there’s an emergency?
I follow my first aid training to respond appropriately. For serious emergencies, I call 111 immediately. For minor issues, I provide proper first aid and inform you when you return.
Can you help put children to bed?
Yes. I follow your bedtime routine exactly – whether that’s stories, songs, teeth brushing, or specific settling techniques. Just tell me your normal routine.
What if my child is upset or won’t settle?
I’m trained in appropriate techniques for calming upset children. I stay patient and calm myself, which helps children settle. If there’s a serious issue, I’ll contact you.
Do you cook meals?
I can prepare simple meals or heat pre-made food. For babysitting sessions, I typically handle dinner or snacks as needed.
What about screen time?
Every family has different rules about screens. Just tell me your policy and I’ll follow it exactly.
Are you available for regular weekly babysitting?
Yes. Many families book me for the same evening each week. Regular arrangements work well for both families and for my schedule.
What’s your cancellation policy?
I require 24 hours notice for cancellations so I can offer that time to other families. Emergency cancellations are understandable and handled individually.
