Common Questions About Our Berfore and After School Care Services
Explore answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about our services to help you make an informed decision.
What qualifications do your babysitters have?
All our babysitters are thoroughly vetted and hold relevant qualifications, including First Aid and Working with Children Checks, ensuring your child’s safety and well-being.
What’s the minimum number of days I can book?
Families must book at least 2 days per week. Anything less is considered a one-off or casual booking under our babysitting services.
Do carers drive their own cars or use my vehicle?
Caregivers use their own fully insured vehicles for transport. If you prefer them to use your car, this must be pre-arranged.
What areas do you service?
We proudly serve families across Perth, Western Australia, providing reliable and flexible babysitting solutions tailored to your needs.
Can my sitter take my child to after-school activities?
Yes! Sitters can transport children to approved extracurricular activities, such as sports, dance, swimming, or tutoring.
What if my child has specific medical or special needs?
We cater to children with disabilities and additional needs, but it’s important to provide detailed information in your enquiry form. This helps us match you with a sitter who has relevant experience and can confidently care for your child.
Will my child always have the same carer?
Yes, carers are locked into employment contracts.
What if my schedule changes?
We offer some flexibility, but availability depends on your carers schedule. Please give as much notice as possible if adjustments are needed.
What happens if my carer is sick or unavailable?
If your carer is unavailable due to illness or time off, we will do our best to arrange a replacement caregiver.
Do your babysitters put children to bed?
Yes! Our sitters follow your bedtime routine to ensure a smooth transition. We recommend providing clear instructions about your child’s usual routine, such as storytime, nightlights, or any specific comfort items they need.
How do I know my carer will be the right fit for my family?
We take the time to carefully match each family with a sitter based on your child’s age, needs, and your specific requirements. All of our carers are thoroughly vetted, highly experienced, and adaptable to different family dynamics. If you ever have preferences, such as a sitter with experience in a particular area (e.g., working with children with additional needs), let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate.
What if I need to make changes to my booking?
We understand that plans can change! If you need to adjust your booking time, date, or other details, please notify us as soon as possible. We will do our best to accommodate changes, but modifications may be subject to sitter availability.
What safety measures do you have in place?
Your child’s safety is our top priority. Every babysitter undergoes a rigorous vetting process that includes:
✔ A Working with Children Check (WWCC)
✔ First Aid & CPR certification
✔ Thorough reference and background checks
✔ Verification of education and experience
Additionally, our babysitters follow strict safety protocols, including emergency procedures and child behavior management techniques.
How are payments handled?

Yes! Our caregivers assist with:
📚 Homework & school projects
🥪 Meal prep, snacks, and school lunches
👕 Ensuring uniforms are ready for the next day
What’s the difference between this service and a nanny?

What if I only need care once a week?
For one-off or irregular care, we recommend using our Regular Babysitting Service instead.
How are Before & After School Carers different from casual babysitters?
Before & After School Carers are employed on a part-time or full-time basis, whereas casual babysitters are booked on an as-needed basis. These carers provide consistent, long-term care and may be responsible for school drop-offs, pick-ups, homework help, and meal preparation.

You can book just before-school care or just after-school care, depending on your needs. The minimum commitment is 2+ days per week.

Yes! If you require additional hours outside of school times, we can match you with a carer who provides full-time support, including daytime or evening care.
What if my child’s school schedule changes?
We understand that school schedules and extracurricular activities may shift. We do our best to accommodate changes, but any modifications must be discussed in advance to ensure sitter availability.
Do I need to provide a car seat?
Yes, if your child requires a booster or car seat, you must provide one for the carer to use.
What if I only need care for one term or a short period?
That’s completely fine! While we prioritize ongoing placements, we can accommodate short-term care needs based on availability.
