How it works
Here's exactly what happens after you join — so there are no surprises.
Add your suburb, children's details, and the type of care you need. The more we know, the better your match.
Our team personally matches you with sitters who fit your family — experience, location, personality. No browsing, no cold messages.
Before anything is confirmed, we introduce you to your matched sitter. You can message them, ask questions, or arrange a meet.
Once you're happy, confirm your booking in the app. We stay close before, during, and after — you're never on your own.
