You’ve finally arrived on the Gold Coast for that well-earned break. But somewhere between unpacking, entertaining the kids, and organising family outings, you realise… you’re not actually relaxing. Here’s how booking a local babysitter can give you the freedom to truly enjoy your holiday, knowing your kids are safe, happy and cared for.
Because Parents Deserve a Break Too
You made it. The bags are unpacked, the beach is calling, and the family is buzzing with excitement. But when was the last time you did something just for you? A massage, a long lunch, or even an uninterrupted nap?
Taking time out on holiday isn’t selfish. It’s smart. You show up better for your family when your own cup is full. And that’s exactly why so many families visiting the Gold Coast book a babysitter through us.
We’re not just here to give you a break. We’re here to make sure your little ones have just as much fun as you do.
Sitters You Can Trust with Your Whole Heart
Handing over your child to someone new can feel like a leap. We understand that. That’s why every single sitter on our team is carefully vetted and holds a current Blue Card and First Aid certificate. But more than qualifications, they bring warmth, patience, and that gentle energy kids instantly connect with.
Many of our babysitters are mums, teachers, or nannies. They’ve seen the tantrums, the big feelings, the clingy bedtimes. They don’t flinch. They come in with calm confidence and a heart that genuinely cares.
Our goal is to help your child feel safe, seen and settled from the moment we arrive.
We Come to You, Wherever You’re Staying
No need to pack the kids into a car or rush to meet someone. We come right to your hotel, resort or holiday home across the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Byron Bay.
You might be heading out for a romantic dinner, attending a wedding, or just needing a few quiet hours to recharge. Whatever your plans look like, we’ll be there, making sure your little ones are cared for in their familiar environment.
Some of the most popular places we regularly visit include:
- Sea World Resort
- Peppers Broadbeach
- The Star Gold Coast
- Hilton Surfers Paradise
- And plenty more across the region
If you’re staying somewhere a little out of the way, just ask. Chances are, we’ve been there too.
Babysitting That Feels Like Playtime
We don’t believe in just “watching the kids.” Our sitters arrive with games, activities, crafts, and books tailored to your child’s age and interests. Whether your child loves dinosaurs, dancing, building forts or quiet colouring, we create a space where they feel relaxed and engaged.
Every booking is approached with care, creativity and a genuine desire to connect. The goal? For your child to ask, “When is the babysitter coming back?”
Booking is Quick, Simple and Stress-Free
We know the juggle is real, especially when you’re planning a family trip. So we’ve made it easy to book in advance or even last minute.

Time Out for You is Good for Them Too
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. A rested, recharged parent is a better parent. When you take time for yourself, your child doesn’t just get a sitter. They get someone who is fully present and focused on making their time special.
And when you return? You’ll walk back in to happy faces and a peaceful vibe, instead of meltdowns or overwhelm.
Your child has had a great time. You’ve had a chance to breathe. That’s a win for everyone.
