FAQs | Babysitters in Auckland

Do I need to post a job to find a babysitter?

• Yes, for now! We have a new service coming in the next few weeks (watch this space) which will make that a lot simpler. However, for now, post a job, invite in a babysitter and chat through Caresies.

Are all babysitters vetted?

• You can check the profile status of each Babysitter on their profile which shows which. Every carer has to go through ID verification and many have completed their police vetting checks too. If you are unsure, reach out to our team for help.

What’s the difference between a babysitter and a nanny?

• A babysitter is typically used for short-term, casual care (e.g. evenings/weekends), while a nanny may provide more regular, structured care. Caresies supports both.

Can I rebook the same babysitter again?

• Absolutely. You can favourite carers and manage repeat bookings easily through your dashboard.

Is Caresies just for Auckland?

• No. We operate nationwide, but Auckland has one of our largest networks of babysitters.
