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!
