We can provide you experienced evening, weekend and weekday
babysitters, however our babysitters mostly available in the evenings as
they have full time day jobs in childcare sectors. We personally
interview all our babysitters and check their references that are
required to have previous experience in childcare.
Our babysitters are normally available to start from 6 – 7 pm onwards
but sometimes we can arrange babysitting to start earlier. Our
babysitters can stay till midnight or even later.
Often babysitter can be found at short notice, but it is preferred if
you can give us at least 2 – 3 days notice before you would like to book
a babysitter, however the more notice you give us the better chance of
booking your preferred babysitter you would get. It is not always
possible to have the same babysitter.
If you book first time a babysitter and you are nervous about leaving
your children with someone you do not know, then we suggest that on your
first sitting you arrange for the babysitter to arrive 30 minutes before
you leave. So you can introduce her to your children and you can see how
she deals with them.
We have a minimum of 4 hours per booking because we have to ensure our
babysitters are willing to give up their evening to look after your
children. So the combination of the hourly rate and the minimum of 4
hours booking provide the balance required to ensure our babysitters are
prepared to attend your bookings.
You do not have to pay the babysitter for traveling time and cost.
Not all our babysitters have CRB checks as they work for families where
not been required to obtain this and that is why we are very strict to
have written childcare references and we also take up verbal references
with previous and recent childcare employers.
There are a maximum number of children per babysitting for safety
reasons. We generally suggest to our clients to book a second babysitter
if there are more then 5 children in total or if there are more than 2
children under 3 years old. Our membership is for one family whose
children are present.
We cannot provide care for special needs child/children as our
babysitters not always with the right experience in your area.
