Occasional Care
Flexible babysitting for families away from home.
Whether you’re travelling to the region for a holiday or business, or you need a night out, my flexible occasional care is perfect for your family.
What’s Included?
During care, I’ll help make early morning and bedtime routines feel comfortable and smooth, assisting with dressing, bathing or anything else that makes the little ones feel at ease.
I’ll also ensure their feeding and sleeping routines are followed. Activities will be tailored to fit each child’s interests and the preferences you've shared, and I’ll provide a variety of fun, engaging options for indoor play. Outdoor adventures will be available too, depending on the child's age, the dynamic of the group when multiple children are being cared for and the weather.For newborns to preschooler.
