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.

Need a babysitter to look after two kids - 2yrs and 7yrs while we have a joint 50th birthday celebration. Will be required from early afternoon into the night.

Regular Nanny | 1.5yr Old | 3hrs 2–3 Days Per Week

$35

Broadbeach QLD 4218, Australia

23rd Aug 2026

We’re looking for a warm, reliable and genuinely caring nanny for our almost 2-year-old daughter in Broadbeach. I’m currently looking for someone for around 6 hours per week to begin with, ideally two 3-hour sessions, with the potential to increase to 2–3 days per week over time. We also have another baby arriving later this year, so I’d love to find someone who can become a consistent and trusted part of our family long-term. Our daughter is a very happy, social and active little girl. I’d love someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with toddlers and is happy to get out of the house with her and make their time together fun. Things you might do together could include: • Going to the park or beach • Swimming in our building pool • Going for walks and little outings • Crafts and creative activities • Simple baking or cooking together • Reading and playing at home • Coming up with your own little activities and adventures I’d especially love someone who is naturally proactive and creative with children and enjoys thinking of things they can do together. We follow a very connected, gentle approach to parenting, so finding someone who is warm, patient and responsive with her is really important to us. I’m also very happy for you to bring along craft supplies or things for activities and I can reimburse you for anything purchased for her. For the first few sessions, I’ll most likely stay home while she gets to know you and becomes completely comfortable. Once that relationship is established, you’ll be able to take her out independently for your time together. We’re hoping to find one consistent person who can build a beautiful relationship with her and stay with our family long-term, particularly as we transition into life with a newborn later this year. If this sounds like something you’d love, please tell me a little about yourself, your experience with toddlers, your availability ect.
