What do childcare and safety services include?

When you book a childcare and safety service through our platform, you get to work with a practitioner who can go to your home and help you look after your baby or child. If you or your partner are about to give birth, you can also find experts to help you get through labour and the first few weeks of life with your newborn. 

You can find the following types of childcare and safety practitioners on our platform:

Babysitting

A babysitter usually takes care of babies and young children temporarily - for example, an emergency comes up at work, you need to run some errands, or you want a (well-deserved) night out. Babysitters usually do not have any formal qualifications besides registration.  

They’re in charge of changing nappies, preparing meals, keeping the kids entertained, and supervising them. 

Childminding

If you’re going to be out regularly (e.g. for your 9-5 job), or if you’re going to be on a business trip for a week and none of your relatives can watch the kids, you’ll need a childminder. 

Childminders, like babysitters, are required to register with Ofsted. They may also have more credentials than a typical babysitter. These can include a childminding course, pediatric First Aid, and safeguarding training. Childminders typically prepare meals, change diapers, bathe and dress the kids, take them to and from school, and help with their education. 

Doula services

Doulas are responsible for providing emotional and physical support to the mother. This usually starts months before the birth. During your pregnancy, a doula is expected to educate you about pregnancy and birth, help you create a birth plan, talk to you about life experiences that might affect your birth experience, and help you prepare for your post-birth state.

During labour, they can support you physically by creating your ideal birthing environment. They also suggest positions and breathing exercises. Doulas also serve as your champion when talking to your healthcare providers. 

After giving birth, you can usually expect a doula to help you bond with your new baby and give you tips for feeding, sleeping, and settling with your newborn. Doulas typically service home births. If you choose to deliver your child in a hospital and don’t have a way to get your doula there fast, you can use Airtasker to find a trusted driver near you.

Maternity nursing

When you book a maternity nurse, expect a support system that’ll help you learn the basics of caring for your new baby. They may show you how to carry, feed, bathe, dress, and comfort your newborn. Maternity nurses may also help by taking care of your baby for hours at a time, allowing you time to rest and recover.

Life with your little one can be challenging! Thankfully, you can easily find people in your community who can help you shop for groceries without leaving your home. You can also find cleaning experts who’ll help you declutter or even clean out your gutters.

Babysit 4.5yo girl at our home, casual, low pay, suit student

$10

Holland Park QLD 4121, Australia

11th Feb 2025

Babysitter: suit teen/young person/student or any parents of those wanting to encourage their kids to get out and earn earn their own extra money. Low pay, which is why I advertised for the above suitabilities. This is not enough to be considered a regular income to rely on however I do hope to find someone who would like to become a friend to our Family for regular shifts. Which is to babysit my daughter Ellia, she turns 5 in May, at our home. She will attend after school care during the week so you may be required to collect her from there which is within walking distance to our home if you do not have a vehicle.. there you will need to heat her pre-prepared dinner, give her a bath and put her into bed. depending on what time I return home if it is after dark and Ellia is still awake I’m able to drive you to your home and otherwise organise and pay for you to get an Uber. Availability is required but not needed every weekend or on both days. On any weekend days I am happy for you to take Ellia out to the park local pool or any other place that may be of interest as long as it has been confirmed by me first I will cover any costs that may be involved for you both and travel. We have streaming services and Wi-Fi for Ellia or yourself after she’s asleep. We also have our Dog, Trixie, who is a miniature poodle, you wouldn’t be required to do anything to take care for her but you might choose to take her out with you on any walks otherwise make sure she is locked inside with AC on or the windows are open with the fans on. I’m open to any meet and greet with my first shift being on 1 February. I’m hoping to secure someone for ongoing casual babysitting duties. Thank you

My daughter loved spending time playing outside on the trampoline and swings with Talia.
