Why Speed Babysitting?

For Parents:

  • Most time-efficient way to find your next babysitter or nanny!  Meet and interview a whole bunch of qualified babysitters and nannies at once in a convenient, safe and relaxed location close to your home.
  • Safety without the high agency fees!  All our babysitters and nannies are pre-interviewed, can show references, have WWCC or Police Checks and are willing to get a First Aid Certificate.
  • Face to face interviews! Nothing beats a parents' intuition when it comes to choosing someone to look after their children.
  • Affordable! Only a one off fee to attend Speed Babysitting events. No booking fees or set babysitting rates. You negotiate the child-minding rates with the babysitter or nanny yourself!
  • Babysitters and Nannies are matched to parents' requirements at each event. Speed Babysitting guarantees you will meet two or more sitters that will be a great fit for your family.  If not - you can come to another Speed Babysitting Event for free!

 

For babysitters and nannies:

  • Time efficient!  Meet several parents/ potential employers in one spot at one time.
  • Safety! Speed Babysitting events are held in hotels, community centres, family cafes and function rooms. No need to go to a strangers’ house by yourself.
