There are certain services we offer only in the Port Elizabeth area.
CHILD CARE SERVICES
We offer Child Care Services, related to the tourism market by providing Travelling Sitters to young families needing assistance with their children whilst away from home. We also offer Babysitters at Tourism Accommodation establishments in Port Elizabeth that do not offer this service themselves.
Our Babysitters and Travelling Sitters are professional, consistent, reliable, qualified and experienced in child-care and first-aid.
Please note that you will be guaranteed an hourly Babysitter if you have booked at least 24 hours in advance and a Travelling Sitter if you have booked 1 month in advance (note that further notice will be required if visas are required for travel abroad). If a request is submitted later than this we may not be able to assist you and your request for a sitter will only be obliged if a Babysitter/Travelling Sitter is readily available for the time of your request. This ensures quality of service!
Babysitters and AuPairs are placed with local young families, on request, as required.
