Are you looking for someone to help with school drop-offs, after-school care or even to look after a group of kids at a party at home – Our Babysitters can help.
After running a successful hospitality and events staffing agency (Our Boys & Girls) for more than 15 years, Susie Robinson found there was a gap in the market and it was the natural progression for her business.
“Our staff have seen and done it all before – including working countless events and activations for – and with – children of all ages. From toy launches to major sporting events, the activities have been extremely varied and always fun for both staff and kids alike.” she said.
“Our staff interact with kids a lot and I thought to myself, we’ve got all of these highly trained, educated, super enthusiastic staff, most of whom babysit in their spare time, why not offer this as a service to Melbourne families?”
Ms Robinson says what sets Our Babysitters apart from their competitors is their rigorous and stringent recruitment processes.
These aren’t just random individuals with online profiles – they’ve been handpicked, interviewed face to face and comprehensively background checked.
“A lot of our competitors act as introduction agencies. You pay a fee to access online profiles of staff (who have also paid a fee to upload their profile). It’s a pretty loose system – essentially all care, no responsibility,” she said.
“But our staff are locals, who have grown up in the area and know the expectations of people looking for babysitters in this region through their previous babysitting experience but also their own childhoods and networks.
“I personally live in the area – I grew up in Hawthorn, went to school in Armadale, live in Kooyong and our office is in Malvern – a lifetime in the Stonnington Boroondara area has given me an unparalleled understanding of the region, its residents and their expectations.”
You’ll find they are not TV child-minders either.
Tell Our Babysitters what your kids love and they will turn up prepared and ready to engage in their favourite activities.
Whether it be art & craft, music and story time, superhero dress-ups, touch footy or a hit of rounders in the backyard.
Catering for families with kids aged 0-16, Our Babysitters are decided by you so you remain in total control of who steps into your home.
