Childcare

Steady, vetted care from newborns to big kids — the same familiar face your family already knows. Built for when daycares and sitters have no room, or when you’d rather have one consistent person than a rotating cast of strangers.

What Childcare covers, at a glance.

Daily Care & Routines

The rhythm of an ordinary day.

  • Before school, and the 3pm‑to‑dinner stretch
  • Meals and snacks
  • Homework sat down with, not just supervised
  • Bath, bedtime and morning routines
  • Naps and feeding for little ones

School Runs & Getting Around

Everyone where they need to be.

  • School drop‑offs and pickups
  • Lessons, sports and activities
  • Appointments and errands
  • Early dismissals and late finishes
  • Forms, sign‑ups and school deadlines

Play, Learning & Development

Time actually spent with them.

  • Age‑appropriate play and activities
  • Reading together
  • Parks, outdoor time and the library
  • Creative and hands‑on projects
  • Screen‑time boundaries you set

Cover When Plans Change

The days that catch families out.

  • PD days and school breaks
  • Sick days at home
  • School holidays
  • Evenings and weekends
  • Overnights, arranged in advance

Every Age, One Assistant

From newborns to big kids.

  • Newborns and infants
  • Toddlers and preschoolers
  • School age
  • Tweens and teens
  • Siblings at different ages

Safety & Peace of Mind

Why this is not a sitter.

  • The same vetted Assistant each week
  • Criminal record checked
  • First Aid and CPR shown on the profiles that hold it
  • Every session logged in your account
  • A parent always in the loop

Good to know: every assistant is vetted and criminal-record-checked, and First Aid and CPR is shown on the profile of each assistant who holds it — and childcare is included in Personal Support, so it’s part of your assistant, never a separate hire or extra fee.

Newborns and Infants

A calm, careful hand in those first months — so you can rest, recover, and breathe.

  • Gentle day-to-day care — feeding, changing, naps, and soothing, following exactly the routine you set.
  • A hand so you can rest — the baby watched with care while you sleep, shower, or catch up on yourself.
  • The load around a new baby — registrations, benefits, and appointments handled while you rest.
  • Steady, not a stranger — the same trusted person every visit, someone your baby grows used to.

Toddlers

Busy little ones kept safe, engaged, and worn out — in the good way.

  • Safe, watchful play — hands-on supervision through the messy, curious, into-everything stage.
  • Meals, snacks, and naps — fed well and kept on the routine that keeps your day running.
  • Early learning, gently — reading, songs, colours, and first words folded into everyday play.
  • Out and about — parks, walks, and errands, so they burn energy and you get a hand.

Young Kids

The after-school stretch handled — homework, dinner, and a calm evening.

  • The afterschool handover — your child settled at home, changed, fed, and started on homework.
  • Homework and reading — sat down with and worked through, not just parked in front of a screen.
  • Snacks and dinner help — healthy food after school and a hand with the evening meal when you ask.
  • Screen-light afternoons — real play, projects, and time outside instead of hours on a tablet.

Big Kids and Tweens

A steady, trusted adult for the older ones — part help, part good influence.

  • Homework and study support — help with the harder subjects, projects, and staying organized for school.
  • Coordination — practices, lessons, appointments, and the shuffle between them, taken off your plate.
  • Someone to talk to — a familiar, reliable adult they actually like, there week after week.
  • A hand with siblings — the whole crew looked after together when there’s more than one at home.

Help With the Kids and the House

Because caring for children is never just the children — it’s everything around them, too.

  • The week kept on track — activities, appointments, forms and deadlines, so nothing slips.
  • Homework and reading — sat down with and worked through, every day, not just supervised.
  • One consistent person — the same familiar face for the kids and the household, not a new sitter each week.
  • There when others aren’t — steady coverage for families daycares and sitters can’t fit in.
