Tanya Pease

Hi, I’m Tanya! Originally from England, I’ve been working with children since 1996 and moved to Auckland in 2006.

Soon after arriving, I started babysitting and quickly saw a need for mature, experienced carers in Auckland. That’s how Auckland BabySitting Ltd began, now a boutique agency with a trusted team of 20+ women, all over 25 and with years of hands-on childcare experience.

I’ve always had a natural connection with children and have supported families with everything from newborn care to teen transitions, including help with routines, behaviour, nutrition, and development.

I’ve also volunteered at Starship Children’s hospital as well as been a relief carer for Les Mills Auckland Kids Club.

In 2017, I became a mum myself to my wonderful son, Ollie. Since then, I’ve been raising him hands-on while continuing to run Auckland BabySitting.

For the past few years, I’ve focused on 4th trimester care, supporting new mums through those early, intense months. I’ve also run holiday programmes (including our “all boys” edition!)

More recently, I took up the challenge of a full-time degree in Occupational Therapy. I’m now in my second year, with a clear path toward becoming a paediatric OT. My experience in childcare has deeply influenced this direction, I’m passionate about supporting children’s development, wellbeing, and participation in everyday life.

I personally select each sitter on our team, not just by qualifications, but by values, energy, and trust. Our mission is to provide Auckland families with the kind of care we would want for our own children: warm, capable, and reliable.
