How does $100 for a little of your time sound? We're looking for class coordinators to support with our child birth education classes.

As well as getting $100 as a thank you for your time, you also get to attend all the classes and learn from the educator - brilliant as a refresher if you're pregnant with your second child. We'll also set you up with a coffee group for when your bubba arrives.

If you can help us out, please get in touch at manapc@manapc.org.nz 📧
