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

Nanny Needed – Two Days a Week- 3-month-old baby girl.

Alexandria NSW, Australia
17th Sep 2024
We’re looking for a Nanny to help care for our 3-month-old baby for two days a week. It’s a bit of a unique situation—my wife and I both run a business, so we need to be at our office/warehouse in Alexandria. Since my wife is still breastfeeding, the baby comes with us, and we need someone to look after her in between feeds at the office. Our baby is becoming more active and alert, so we’d love someone who can engage her in playtime and tummy time during her awake periods. And take her for walks in the pram for her to sleep We’re flexible on which days, but ideally, it would be Tuesday and Wednesday from 10am to 4pm. I’m not sure of the going rate, so please feel free to bid with your standard offer. Thanks, Jon

The Rocks, NSW
29th Jul 2024
Hey hun I saw you commented on someone else’s post about before school drop offs and I’m wondering if that’s something you’d be willing to accomodate still? I have 2 kids both get dropped off to the same daycare and the daycare take my daughter to the school across the rd. The morning routine would consist of you coming to my house and making them breakfast plus getting them ready for school. Some mornings would be a 5am start. And then can drop to daycare anytime from 6:15. You’re welcome to sit and watch TV until they wake up or wake them up when you’re ready to get the day started.
