ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
We want to exceed your expectations of a babysitting service:
- We offer a range of babysitters who will come to your home during the day or evening / overnight. They will entertain, and as necessary, feed and bath your child / children and follow their usual routines / bedtime activities, settle them to sleep, and attend to them at any time should they wake. We also provide Hotel / Motel sitters for those that are on holiday or business in Dunedin. We can also organise multiple babysitters and set up a child friendly area within any Corporate / Conference / Sport / Wedding and other such events.
- We have a great team of babysitters, all are over 18 (most over 20), and include nannies, university students, childcare workers, nurses, teachers, and empty nest parents, many qualified in a child related industry, and all with lots (multiple occasions in a minimum of 2 settings) of practical experience with children and babies.
- All of our sitters are experienced, thoroughly referenced (2 references minimum, at least one related to childcare) and all pass both personal and police vetting checks. All our babysitters have completed a minimum 2 hour training induction course and all are expected to have a current first aid certificate prior to their first job. Additionally, all of our babysitters live within the Dunedin area and will have their own transport arrangements to get to and from where you need them.
- We can often provide a sitter at short notice, but generally it is advisable to allow one week or more if you wish to request a particular sitter and to ensure you are not disappointed if your plans are on a popular night for sitters e.g. Rugby Games and Concerts.
- Babysitters are available all hours both 7 nights a week for evening work and also 7 days a week for day time babysitters. We can often provide babysitters at short notice to cover a child’s illness and we will always attempt to find a babysitter for any emergency care (all hours) or overnight stays.
