Families must book at least 2 days per week. Anything less is considered a one-off or casual booking under our babysitting services.

What areas do you service?
We proudly serve families across Perth, Western Australia, providing reliable and flexible babysitting solutions tailored to your needs.
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.

Do I have to commit to a long-term contract?

What if I only need care once a week?
For one-off or irregular care, we recommend using our Regular Babysitting Service instead.

Yes, if your child requires a booster or car seat, you must provide one for the carer to use.
Can I request a nanny with specific qualifications?
Yes! Let us know if you need a nanny with experience in special needs care, newborns, Montessori teaching, or any other specialized skill set.
Do nannies live with the family?

Can I trial a nanny before committing long-term?
Yes! We offer a one-month paid trial period to ensure the nanny is the right fit for your family.
Can I share a nanny with another family to reduce costs?
Yes! We offer nanny-sharing options, allowing two families to split the cost of a nanny while still receiving high-quality, in-home care. Both families must agree on a set schedule and location, and the arrangement will be included in the contract.
What if I need my nanny to travel with us on holidays?
Many nannies are open to traveling with families, but this must be discussed in advance. Additional travel expenses, accommodation, and per diems are typically required and should be outlined in your agreement.
Can I increase or decrease my nanny’s hours after they start?

Do nannies help with pets or housework?
Nannies primarily focus on child-related tasks, including cleaning up after the children, preparing meals, and organizing activities. Some nannies may be open to light pet care (e.g., feeding a pet or letting them outside), and light house work but they are not responsible for general household cleaning, laundry, or pet sitting.
What happens if my nanny isn’t the right fit for my family?
We understand that finding the right match is essential. If your nanny isn’t working out, let us know, and we will discuss your options, including a replacement process if necessary. If you’ve opted for our one-month paid trial, this allows time to assess compatibility before making a long-term commitment.
