IMPORTANT – 2022 RATES UPDATE!
We understand the recent years and inflation have hit many families a bit harder than usual and we delayed rate changes as long as possible. But we have decided to become a supporter of the Living wage and thus due to the minimum living wage increasing we have amended several fees as at 01/09/2022.
Rate changes:
Standard Babysitter Hourly rates are now $24 per hour.
Standard Short Notice rates and Public Holiday rates are $30 per hour.
Current Standard Short Notice Babysitter Hourly rates are $30 per hour. Current Members still get $24 per hour rate.
Cancellation Fee is $40 (Non-Member) and $30 (Member).
Minimum Booking amount payable to a babysitter is $40 (Non-Member) and $30 (Member). Note: This is payable even if the booking is of shorter duration than would equate to the above amounts payable, I.e. Less than 1.6hours (Non-Member) and less than 1.25hours (Member).
Combined families rate (if combining children from more than one family is $3 per hour per extra child, from the other family/ies).
All Agency Booking Fees and Membership renewal fees remain the same.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND ONGOING SUPPORT!
Getting Started
Hi, I am Annabelle and this is my fairly new business venture which as at July 2012 I am just getting started. (UPDATE: We have been operating now since December 2012). I have been working in the childcare and education industry for 15+ years. I have a BEd in Primary Teaching, a BA in History and Psychology, a GradDip of Teaching in Early Childhood and now have added a GradDip endorsed in Education to my qualifications. My life revolves around education, teaching, I have several roles working with children with disabilities and taking care of other people’s children both regular childcare, and on call as much as I can, in that I am physically unable to be in multiple places at one time (although I do at times try). I am continually building the business and part of that includes updating the website to become better and more functional for you. I am also increasing the number of people able to assist with childcare and babysitting needs. If you are in need of our services then please see the “Book a Babysitter” tab and then email us. If you are interested in joining our team then please see the “For Babysitters” Tab and follow the instructions.
