A guest experience parents genuinely appreciate.

An elevated experience for families

Make stays more enjoyable for parents, with babysitting support that feels calm, premium, and personalised.

Easy for your team

Concierge shares a simple link, we handle onboarding, matching, payments, and support. No extra admin needed.

A meaningful service, no extra staffing

Babysitting becomes a guest experience you can offer without rostering, hiring, or system setup.

How it works

We prepare sitters in your area

All sitters complete ID checks and onboarding and for hotel bookings, they can also complete your on-site health & safety process to become approved hotel sitters.

Your team shares a link

Concierge or front desk passes our booking link to guests.

We manage the booking end-to-end

Guests tell us what they need. We match them with a sitter and support both sides.

 

What makes The Village Co different

Not profiles. People.

We don’t hand guests a list and hope for the best.

We connect families with the right sitter and stay involved.

 


Guests tell us what they need and we handle booking & matching.

 

 

 

Your team simply shares the booking link with parents.

 

 

The Village Co manages payments and sitter admin, not your team.

 

Babysitters are local, availability depends on the day and location.

 

We provide support if anything changes, for guests and sitters.
We can support single properties or hotel groups.

1

We set up your partnership

We brief your concierge and front desk team, provide all the materials they need, and set up your venue's dedicated booking link. Takes about an hour on your end.

One-time setup
2

Guest requests childcare

A guest asks at check-in, calls the concierge, or sees it in your in-room directory. Your team shares the link. That is the only step they take.

One link. Nothing else.
3

We match and confirm

The guest completes a short profile. We match them with a vetted sitter in the area, make the introduction, and confirm the booking. Often same day.

Often same day
4

Sitter arrives. Guest enjoys their evening.

The sitter arrives at the hotel. The guest pays directly through the platform. Your team is not involved in payment, follow-up, or any issues. We handle all of it.

Zero admin for your team
What we handle

Your team shares a link. We do the rest.

Everything that would otherwise become a concierge problem or a liability.

🤝

Sitter matching

We personally match guests with vetted sitters near your venue based on timing, number of children, and any specific needs.

🛡️

Vetting and safety

Six-layer vetting including NZ Police check, ID verification, face-to-face interview, and reference checks. Your guests never meet an unknown person.

💳

Payments

Guest pays through the platform directly. No cash, no charge-to-room complications, no payment disputes landing on your desk.

🔄

Guest support

If anything changes, if a sitter runs late, or if a guest has a question, they contact us. Not your front desk.

💼

Insurance cover

$2 million public liability insurance on every booking. Your venue is not exposed. Your guests are protected.

Hotel sitter approval

Sitters approved for your venue specifically.

For partner hotels and venues, sitters can complete your on-site health and safety induction to become approved hotel sitters. This means you have a pool of sitters who know your property, understand your procedures, and carry your venue's approval alongside ours.

It is the highest level of integration we offer, and it is available exclusively to partner venues. Not a directory. Not a marketplace. A proper partnership.

FAQs

Questions venues ask.

Anything else, email us directly.

No. After the initial setup, your team's only role is sharing the link with guests who ask. All matching, payments, communication, and support is handled by The Village Co. We do not contact your team unless there is something you specifically need to know.
Sitters are briefed on professional conduct at partner venues. If an issue arises, the guest contacts us. We manage it. If it affects your property in any way, we will contact your duty manager. Your front desk is not the first point of contact.
No. Every booking is covered by $2 million public liability insurance held by The Village Co. The booking is between the guest and The Village Co. Your venue facilitates access to the service but does not take on liability for the childcare itself.
No. Guests pay The Village Co. directly through our platform. Nothing goes through your PMS, your POS, or your accounts team. There is no charge-to-room option by default, which keeps things simple for your finance team.
For partner wedding venues, The Village Co. can be the exclusive childcare provider on your property. This means we are the only service your concierge recommends or lists for childcare. It protects your guests' experience and ensures consistent quality. Contact us to discuss terms.
Auckland, Hamilton, Waikato, Tauranga, Cambridge, Wellington, and Christchurch, with more coming. If your venue is outside these areas, get in touch and we will tell you what coverage looks like for your location.
