CORE CARE

Establishing your Family’s Trusted Sitter Team

---

Pay a once off fee to be connected to a core care team of 1 to 3 sitters depending on your service tier (basic or premium) who will be matched based on your child(ren)’s age, their relevant experience, education level and proximity  to assist you as required from time to time. This service includes:

• Direct Contact: Reach out to your preferred sitter(s) anytime.
• Trusted & Experienced: All sitters are thoroughly vetted, criminal clearance checked, reference-checked and matched to your family’s needs.
• Flexible Support: Ideal for occasional bookings, ongoing care, or emergency coverage.
• Rates: Negotiable directly with Sitters

If you are looking for occasional peak hour service in which your core team is not available, please use the services available at this link. Please note that in Gauteng we require at least 5 working days notice for babysitting requests.
