OUR LITTLE STORY

We’re a group of responsible, friendly 14-year-old girls based in Silverdale, Orewa, and Red Beach who love helping local whānau with babysitting. We started Big Sister because we genuinely enjoy spending time with tamariki — playing, reading, and making sure they’re safe and happy while you’re out.

We may be young, but we take our mahi seriously and always bring a caring, big-sister attitude — full of aroha, manaakitanga, and fun — to every kainga we visit.

What Parents Say

Parent 1
“We were a bit nervous hiring teen sitters at first, but the Big Sister girls are absolutely wonderful. Our daughter adores them, and they always keep her busy with games and crafts — no screens! We feel totally at ease when they’re here.”
CHELSEY FREEMAN
Parent 2
“Reliable, respectful, and great with kids — what more could you want? The girls from Big Sister are like having extra big sisters in the house. My boys look forward to their visits, and I love knowing they’re in safe, kind hands”
AGNES NOWAK
