Suggested reads about Childcare & Safety

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. 

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.  

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

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. 

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. 

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. 

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 / home-help hybrid role

$123

Fortitude Valley QLD 4006, Australia

12th Sep 2026

We’re a busy family looking for a savvy, experienced and high-energy all-rounder to give us an extra pair of capable hands around the home and with our three young children (5, 3 and 1). This is a bit of a nanny / home-help hybrid role. We’re looking for someone who sees what needs doing, gets stuck in and is comfortable moving between household jobs and spending quality time with the kids. Tasks could include: * Laundry, folding and ironing * General household help and keeping things moving * Creative play and activities with the kids * Helping during peak/busy times when the kids need some extra attention and social connection * Taking our energetic 5-year-old OR 3-year-old for walks, playground trips and little adventures around the city * Generally being another confident, positive and capable adult in the household We’d love someone who is proactive, reliable, confident and genuinely enjoys being around children. You’ll suit us particularly well if you’re a high performer who can work independently rather than needing every task spelled out. Bonus: If you speak another language, or Have extensive Swimming experience, we’d absolutely love to hear from you. We’re very open to our children being exposed to different languages and cultures. We’re based in Fortitude Valley, so being comfortable walking and getting around the inner city with a young child is important. If this sounds like you, please send us a little about yourself, your experience with children/home help, your availability and your hourly rate. We’re keen to find the right person who could potentially become a regular and trusted extra pair of hands for our family.
