This collaboration is designed to enhance your experience by integrating premium recruitment services directly into our platform, making the process of hiring a nanny seamless and stress-free.

Who Are Dream Nannies?

Dream Nannies has been a prominent name in New Zealand childcare for over 15 years, dedicated to creating genuine connections and building lasting relationships between families and caregivers. Their vision to "make family life easier" is realised through tailored, personalised advice and solutions, ensuring that your family receives the exceptional service it deserves.

As specialists in the field, Dream Nannies offers a comprehensive approach to home-based childcare by matching highly qualified au pairs, nannies, and educators with Kiwi families. Their commitment goes beyond just placement; they provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure all parties feel valued and supported throughout their journey.

Why we're Excited for this Partnership

This partnership is particularly significant for our Caresies users. Here’s why:

  • Expertise and Experience: Dream Nannies brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of quality, adding an extra layer of trust and expertise to the Caresies platform.
  • Streamlined Process: With Dream Nannies, we can now offer more integrated services, from initial job posting to final placement, making the hiring process smoother and more robust.
  • Educational Benefits and Funding: For families in Auckland with children under five, the partnership provides access to various educational subsidies, helping ease the financial burden of childcare.

Introducing Two New Services

1. Education Listing - $199 + GST

For families looking to maximise educational benefits, our Education Listing service provides access to government funding for children under five. Here's what this service includes:

  • Access to ECE Subsidies: Gain up to $80 per week per child aged three or four.
  • WINZ Funding: Assistance with Work and Income New Zealand funding.
  • Government Subsidy Scheme: Eligibility for the new government subsidy of $75 per week.

This service is available exclusively in Auckland and involves a straightforward process where you purchase an Education Listing from your dashboard after placing a job post. Dream Nannies will then contact you to discuss the requirements and next steps. Access to funding and the Dream Educator program is subject to the Dream Terms and Conditions.

2. Premium Listing - $399 + GST

Our Premium Listing service is designed for families seeking a comprehensive approach to nanny recruitment. This package includes:

  • Personalised Candidate Invitation: A Caresies team member will help invite suitable candidates.
  • Complete Recruitment Support: Including nanny interviews, two reference checks, a template employment contract, and a police vetting check.

To access our Premium Listing, simply add this service from your job post on your dashboard. A Caresies team member will then guide you through each step, to help you through the hiring process.

Moving Forward Together

We are thrilled to partner with Dream Nannies to bring these additional services to our Caresies users. This partnership reflects our commitment to providing flexible, high-quality childcare solutions that meet the diverse needs of New Zealand families.

Finding quality care is a challenge!

Traditional methods often limit your exposure to potential carers, leaving you with fewer options.
Availability
Schedules are unpredictable, finding a babysitter when needed can be nightmarish.
Vetting
Ensuring caregivers have the right background, experience, and qualifications.
Last-minute Needs
Emergencies or sudden plans can arise, requiring immediate childcare assistance.
Lack of Options
Limited access to a variety of jobs or carers with the diversity needed.
