The Kiddo difference

A smarter way to find childcare

Searching for childcare near you can often lead to long waitlists, limited availability, or childcare centres that don’t align with your schedule. That’s why more families are choosing flexible, in-home childcare as an alternative.

Kiddo connects families with Nannies and Babysitters across Australia, giving you more control over when and how you access childcare.

Whether you need same-day childcare, after-school care, or ongoing support a few days a week, you can find care that fits your family — without the stress of rigid hours or waiting lists.

Frequently asked questions about childcare

How do I find childcare near me?

Kiddo helps families across Australia find childcare near them by connecting them with local Nannies and Babysitters. You can browse profiles, compare reviews, and book childcare in minutes — all in one place.

What if childcare centres are full?

If childcare centres are full or have long waitlists, Kiddo offers a flexible alternative. Families can book a nanny a few days a week, arrange after-school care, or find a babysitter for casual and last-minute childcare.

Can I book same-day childcare?

Yes. Depending on availability, many families are able to book same-day childcare through Kiddo. This makes it a practical option for unexpected work commitments, school holidays, or last-minute changes in your schedule.

What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?

A nanny is typically used for regular, ongoing childcare such as a few days a week or before and after school care. A babysitter is usually booked for casual childcare, including evenings, weekends, or short-term support.

Is in-home childcare better than daycare?

It depends on your family’s needs. Childcare centres and daycare offer structured care, while in-home childcare provides flexibility and personalised support. Many families use Kiddo as an alternative when they need more flexible hours or when childcare centres are unavailable.

Are Kiddo carers verified?

Yes. Every Kiddo Carer is ID verified and holds a valid Working With Children Check before they can accept bookings, giving families confidence when choosing childcare.
