What is Village for Work?
Village for Work is The Village Co's employer childcare benefit. It allows companies to offer trusted, vetted babysitting as a workplace benefit for their staff.
How it works for employees:
- Your employer signs up with The Village Co
- You receive access to the platform at a discounted company rate, or your employer pre-purchases childcare hours for you (Back to Work bundle)
- You use the platform exactly as any parent would — we match you with a sitter, you book through the app
Types of benefits your employer may offer:
- Discounted company rate: access at a reduced platform rate
- Back to Work bundle: a set number of pre-paid hours gifted when you return from parental leave
If your employer does not currently offer Village for Work, you can suggest it to your HR team. Find out more at thevillageco.nz/employers.
