Back to School, Back to Chaos? Here’s How a Babysitter Can Help Ease the Load

If only it were that easy.
Between the school drop-offs, pick-ups, sports, homework, meal times, and everything in between, Term 3 can feel like a whirlwind.
That’s where a Coastal Babysitter can help make things not so hectic.
You’re not alone if you’re feeling stretched
The back-to-school juggle is real, and so many parents are feeling it. You feel like your running from one place to the next, everyone seems to need you at once, and your to-do list is longgggg.
What if, instead of doing it all, you had someone you trust to help?
Here’s how a Coastal Babysitter can help ease the Term 3 load:
After-school calmness
One of our most requested services is after-school care. Imagine coming home to find the kids happy, fed, and their homework already started or even done! Your sitter can meet them at the school gate, walk or drive them home, and keep things moving until you’re home from work. If you’re on the Gold Coast, in Brisbane or Byron Bay, we can help! covered.
Dinner prep sorted
Our sitters are happy to help with light meal prep, giving you time to actually take a break, or get stuff done.
Play, not screen time
Coastal Babysitters are all about engaging, fun, and age-appropriate play. We love board games, craft projects, building forts… we come with ideas, activities and lots of energy!
A familiar face they look forward to
Kids thrive on consistency, especially during the school term. Having a regular babysitter helps build a sense of routine and security. Plus, our sitters quickly become trusted friends.
Peace of mind for parents
All of our babysitters are fully screened, hold a Blue Card and First Aid qualifications, and most importantly, they genuinely love spending time with kids. You can head off to work, to an appointment, or out for dinner knowing your littlies are in safe, caring hands, and having a blast.
At Coastal Babysitters, we know that care goes beyond keeping kids busy. It’s about connection, confidence, and making sure both children and parents feel supported.
So if Term 3 starts to test you, consider this your gentle reminder: you don’t have to do it all.
Let us help make your week that little bit easier, and a whole lot more fun.
