How babysitting works
Send us your dates, times, suburb or accommodation, and your children’s ages. Then pay the $30 booking fee.
We notify our vetted Hawke’s Bay babysitters. Once a sitter accepts, we’ll send you their details. Babysitting rates start from $30/hr. Want someone your kids already know and love? You can request them again.
Whether it’s dinner in Havelock North, a long lunch at a local winery, or a night out in Napier - we’ve got the kids covered.
Your sitter logs the hours worked after the booking. You simply confirm hours, and we’ll take care of the payment automatically.
How nannies work
Submit your listing with as much detail as possible - your preferred hours, responsibilities, duties, any housework required, and a little about your children and family.
We’ll get in touch to discuss your requirements, how we can help, and the different placement options available, whether you’re looking for short-term, temporary, ongoing or permanent care.
We’ll send you suitable nanny profiles to review, including their bios and CVs. Let us know who you’d like to meet, and we’ll help arrange interviews and guide you through the next steps. We can also assist with employment contracts, payroll and ongoing support.
Choose the nanny who feels like the right fit for your family. We’re here to support you throughout the placement and beyond.
