How it works

Simple as it should be

Tell us about your family

Every family is different. Share your dates, kids’ ages, and what matters most. It only takes a minute, and real humans read it.

We find your match

We personally match you with sitters who fit your family. No endless browsing or awkward cold messages.

Book with confidence

Once you’re happy, we lock it in and stay close if plans change or you need support.

Why Families Trust Us

Trust, without the fluff

You're leaving your kids with someone - We take that seriously.

We know how hard it is to leave your kids with someone new.

Each sitter goes through a face to face interview, ID checks, reference reviews, background checks and real onboarding, plus a supportive team behind the scenes.

We only work with people we'd trust ourselves, only approved sitters are accepted and we don’t just make introductions and disappear.

That’s the village part.

We put every sitter through six layers before they're approved, and the last one is always a real person from our team, not an algorithm.

Ongoing Support

The Village Co. is a New Zealand babysitting platform that helps parents find trusted local babysitters. We also work with employers and hotels to make childcare easier for working families and travelling parents.

We’ll always work with you to make it right.

If a sitter isn’t the right fit, we’ll match you with someone new - no stress, no awkwardness.

Our goal is to find someone your family genuinely feels comfortable with.

Yes, every sitter goes through a thorough vetting process before joining The Village Co.

This includes interviews, background checks, and screening for experience working with children.

We only accept sitters we would trust with our own families.

Your child’s safety is our top priority.

Every sitter is carefully vetted, we back them with our Village Sitter Insurance, and we take the responsibility of matching families seriously.

We’ve built The Village Co to give parents something that’s hard to find - real peace of mind when leaving their kids
