Regular care that fits around school
Most nanny arrangements on Village are part-time and built around the school day: collecting children at 3pm, afternoon tea, homework, and a start on dinner before you get home. Some families book two or three afternoons a week, others the full five. Because you arrange it directly with the helper, the hours are whatever you both agree to.
What to check before you book
For sole-charge care, ask about a Working With Children Check, first aid currency, driving and car seats if there's a school run, and experience with your children's ages. Verified helpers on Village carry a badge, and every profile shows reviews from other local mums. Always meet before the first booking.
Nanny or mother's helper?
If you'll be out of the house and someone else is responsible for your children, you want a nanny. If you'll be home and you mainly need an extra pair of hands, a mother's helper is a better fit and usually costs less.
Nannies across Adelaide
Village is built around suburbs, so you're matched with mums close to home, not someone driving an hour across the city. Search by suburb to find helpers who can realistically make your school pickup time. A nanny ten minutes away is worth more than a perfect profile across town.
Common questions
- How much does a nanny cost in Adelaide?
- Nannies on Village set their own hourly rates, shown on each profile. Rates vary with experience, the number of children and whether driving is involved. You agree terms directly with the helper.
- Should a nanny have a Working With Children Check?
- Yes. For sole-charge care of children, a current Working With Children Check is the baseline. Village shows a verification badge on helpers who have provided theirs.
- Can a nanny do school pickups in Adelaide?
- Many can. Check that she drives, has appropriate car seats and is comfortable being added to your school's authorised collection list.
- What's the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?
- A nanny provides regular, scheduled care and often takes on related household tasks. A babysitter covers occasional hours, usually in the evening.
