Work with us

Do you have big love for little people?
Be a part of The Childminding Co. 

The Childminding Co. are constantly expanding and are currently recruiting babysitters and group childminders for locations around Central and Northern Queensland. We’re looking for special people who genuinely enjoy caring for children and who can demonstrate their knowledge, skills and experience with references.

The Childminding Co. will promote you and your services, manage the initial contact right through to booking confirmation and use our expertise to match you with families ideally suited to you. Importantly, we provide agreement oversight and terms and conditions to help protect all parties. We do the ground work, leaving you to do what you do best.

For babysitting bookings, you operate as independent contractors, meaning you get paid 100% of what you earn and are paid directly. You get full say in what you do and don’t do. Overnights aren’t your thing – that’s cool. Prefer a certain age group – you got em’. And because our childminders can pick and choose which bookings suit them, it works perfectly for those trying to juggle other work and commitments.

As a group childminder, you’re employed by us and we manage all the financial stuff for you including tax and super. You work under Award, receive a number of allowances and are entitled to the National Employment Standards.

You’ll need these qualifications (or be willing to get them!):

Minimum Requirements  

• Aged over 18 years
• Current First Aid and CPR certification
• Valid Working with Children Check/Blue Card (QLD)
• Current driver’s licence with own reliable vehicle
• A minimum one year’s relevant experience, with references
• Whooping cough vaccination (if caring for newborns)

Criminal History Check and specialised skills and qualifications are well-regarded but not necessary.
