Babysitters are 18 years and older. They are usually nannies, mother's helpers, childcare workers, teachers or after school carers or students who are studying in relevant fields.

Babysitters usually do not do any housekeeping duties for the children or family, except clean up after the children and any work areas.


We provide sitters in the Sydney area, for hotels, serviced apartments, functions, corporate clients and private homes. Whether it’s for daytime, evenings, weekends, overnight stays, temporary live-in or live-out positions or for children with special needs.

When you are visiting other areas where Care for Kidz provides child minding services (Central Coast, Brisbane or Sunshine Coast), you can ring the local office and we will organize a babysitter for you.

$68 for the first three hours + $17 per hour thereafter for daytime.

$250 for overnight stays or 24 hour period.
$30 cancellation fee applies if cancelled within 48 hours of booking.

Fees are per family. If there are more children than the immediate family please advise at time of booking because you may need more than one carer.

Fees are payable at the time of employment. All you do is pay the carer. Please check legal obligations for P.A.Y.G & workers compensation.


If you require a CCB receipt from your carer, they will only write out a receipt for their fee only! This will exclude the agency fee which is included in the first three hours. As the agency fee is a service fee not a childcare fee.

However if you require a CCB receipt for the full amount then you will need to pay Care for Kidz direct. Please see below for these rates.

Casual rates for corporate engagements:

If you require a tax invoice or a receipt to claim back any money from your employer, insurance, or for business purposes or would like to claim from CCB for the full amount then these rates are:

$75 for the first three hours + $15 per hour thereafter from 7pm
$280 for an overnight stay or 24hr period.

For Public Holidays and New Year Eve rates and fees are double.

You do not pay the carer direct. We will send you a tax invoice. Fees must be paid within 7 days of invoice. Cheques are to be made payable to Care for Kidz.

You also will not be responsible for any tax, or workers compensation. Care for Kidz will take care of that.

If you do pay the carer direct (cash or cheque made out to them) then a tax invoice will not be sent.

Care for Kidz is a registered Childcare provider, as are our carers. If you need to claim any childcare costs associated with work or studies then please ask at booking.

However if you require a CCB receipt for the full amount then you will need to pay Care for Kidz direct which will require a tax invoice. Please ask at booking.
