Helpers by household need
Infant and childcare helpers
Find candidates whose real experience, calmness, safety awareness and communication fit your family’s routines.
Understanding the profile
Match the person—not only the label.
Childcare support can include feeding preparation, bathing, hygiene, school routines, supervised play and child-related household tasks. Parents remain responsible for setting safe routines and explaining them clearly.
Nationality or a care category is a useful starting point, but it should never replace a proper interview, clear job scope and realistic expectations on both sides.

- How would you follow our family’s sleep and feeding routine?
Before you decide
Important considerations.
- Explain who has primary responsibility for the child.
- Demonstrate hygiene and safety routines instead of assuming knowledge.
