Care at home
Child Care
Nannies and sitters, vetted like family.
- Police-checked, interviewed in person
- Paediatric first aid certified
- Newborn specialists available
- Same-day evening bookings
What's included
A child carer runs the part of the day you hand over, properly.
Age-appropriate play
Not screen-minding. Carers arrive with an idea — building, drawing, reading, a garden game — matched to your child’s age and attention span.
Routines held exactly
Naps, meals, bath and bedtime in the order and at the times you set. We write the routine down so the second visit runs like the first.
School run and activities
Drop-off, pick-up, sports and tutoring, with a message when your child is safely in the car and again on arrival.
Homework support
Supervision and structure for primary and middle-school work, in Arabic or English. Carers with subject tutoring experience on request.
Newborn and infant care
Feeding, sterilising, nappies, settling and safe-sleep practice, from carers who specialise in the first year. Night feeds available.
A note when you get back
What they ate, when they slept, what they were like. Short, honest, and in the app so both parents see it.

Frequently asked questions
The answers families ask for most before their first booking.
How are child carers vetted?
Five stages, and about one applicant in nine gets through. Government ID verification, a national police clearance renewed every year, verification of early-childhood qualifications with the issuing institution, two reference calls with previous families, and a face-to-face scenario assessment with our head of care. Paediatric first aid and infant CPR certification must be current — we track expiry dates and suspend carers whose certification lapses.
Can I meet the nanny before booking?
For monthly and weekday arrangements, yes — an introduction is part of the process and it is unpaid. For an hourly sitter we usually arrange a video call instead, since evening bookings are often made the same day. Either way you see the full profile and credentials before you decide.
Do you take newborns?
Yes. Newborn specialists are a separate pool of carers who work only with infants in the first year, covering feeds, sterilising, settling and safe-sleep practice. Night shifts of eight to ten hours are the most requested. If you have twins, tell us at the enquiry stage — we place carers with documented twin experience.
What is the shortest booking?
Three hours. It is not an upsell: under three hours the carer spends most of the visit arriving, settling with your child and handing back, which is not care worth paying for.
Will the carer drive my children?
Only if you request it and only with carers who hold a valid Saudi licence — this is noted on their profile. The carer drives your car with your written permission, or we arrange a carer plus a vetted driver. We do not put children in a carer’s private vehicle.
What if my child has allergies or a medical condition?
Tell us in detail at the enquiry stage. Allergies, asthma, epilepsy, diabetes and feeding tubes all change who we shortlist. Straightforward allergy management with an EpiPen is within a trained carer’s scope; anything requiring clinical judgement or administration is a nursing matter and we will say so rather than stretch the scope.
