5 Reasons Why Caresies is the Best Childcare Marketplace in NZ

Let’s be honest, finding the perfect childcare solution can feel like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube while juggling fire (spoiler: there isn’t one!). Enter Caresies, New Zealand’s brand spanking new platform for parents who are done with the stress and ready for an easy, reliable, and (dare we say it) fun way to find childcare. Whether you need a babysitter for a last-minute date night or a full-time nanny who can handle everything from diaper changes to school runs, Caresies has got you covered. 

In this article, we’re going to break down five reasons why Caresies is the absolute best childcare marketplace in NZ. Grab a coffee (or a glass of wine, we’re not judging), sit back, and get ready to see why you should be using Caresies for all your childcare needs. 

1. A Match Made in Heaven (Excuse the pun) 

Picture this: You need a babysitter. Like, yesterday. Your regular sitter is on holiday, the neighbours are busy, and you’re one toddler tantrum away from a meltdown yourself. You open Caresies, and BAM! You post a job, and instantly have a number of local, qualified carers who fit your needs like Cinderella’s glass slipper. It’s that easy. 

Caresies isn’t your average, run-of-the-mill babysitter service. Our platform is designed to find the perfect match for your family and to make sure that you remain in control of the hiring process. Whether you need someone with experience handling newborns, a sitter who knows all the best playgrounds, or a nanny who can help with homework, we’ve got a pool of amazing caregivers who are just one job post away. 

Why it’s awesome: 

• No more posting in Facebook groups and getting luke warm results 

• Post a job and we send a notification to hundreds of Carers. If they are free, they’ll start applying for your job and you’ll be able to shortlist, interview and hire who you want! 

2. A Stress-Free Experience (Finally!) 

Trust us, we get it! Hiring someone to take care of your kids is a big deal. You don’t want to leave it to chance, and you certainly don’t want any added stress in your already busy life. That’s why Caresies makes the whole process as stress-free as possible. 

From posting a job to finding the right carer, every step is designed to be user-friendly. You can communicate with potential carers directly through the platform, arrange interviews, and even manage bookings and payments all in one place. It’s basically like having a personal assistant, but without the awkward office banter. 

Why it’s awesome: 

• You can post a job in minutes and start receiving applications almost immediately. 

• Forget the paperwork, Caresies handles job offers for nannies and payments for babysitters, so you don’t have to chase invoices or deal with cash payments. 

• Everything is done online, meaning you can find, hire, and pay a babysitter while still in your PJs. 

3. There’s plenty of fish in the sea! 

At Caresies, we take childcare seriously. After all, these are your kids we’re talking about! That’s why every carer who joins the platform goes through a thorough an ID verification process before they can apply for roles on the platform. We also make it visible around whether your nanny has completed a vetting check or right to work check too. Whilst Caresies will check the vetting, ID and right to work, it’s important that parents know they still need to do their own due diligence to make sure the nanny / babysitter is right for their family! 

You can also check out reviews from other parents who’ve used the same carer, so you know you’re getting someone trusted by the community. It’s like checking Yelp before you pick a restaurant, but way more important because, you know, it’s your children. 

Why it’s awesome: 

• Every carer must complete an ID verification before they can apply for jobs.  

• Caresies can also complete optional police vetting and right to work checks.  

• You can read reviews and ratings from other parents, so you know exactly who you’re hiring. 

• Peace of mind knowing your in control of the process for finding the right Carer for your family.
