In-Home Care
How does it work
Do you find that mainstream child care does not suit your needs? Do you need an extra set of hands to meet your daily demands? Adelaide Family In-Home Care can help you find the right Educator/Carer to look after your children at home through our in home care affiliate, Adelaide Family In-Home Care Services.
In-Home Care is a flexible alternative for those families who are not able to access mainstream child care services. In a situation of ongoing care we provide you with the choice to interview potential educators or simply to bring your own carer/ educator to the scheme.
All our educators have experience with children, are reference checked, hold current Working With Children Check, a first aid certificate and are monitored while at work.
Our educators are involved in training to help them bring fresh ideas to your home.
For information on the application process please get in touch with us.
