Children's Occasional Care
At Sydney Supervised Contact, we understand that all parents/carers have moments when an extra set of caring hands can make all the difference. Our Occasional Care service is designed to give parents and caregivers safe, caring and flexible, occasional support for their children in either their home, or within the community.
Who Is Occasional Care For?
Our Occasional Care service is for parents/carers who need temporary care for their children on a casual, short or long term basis due to work, study, appointments, or other commitments. Sometimes parents/carers just need some time out for their own self-care! Occasional Care is also helpful for families experiencing unexpected changes or stress, giving parents/carers a much needed break.
Whether it’s a one-off need for Occasional Care or regular, ongoing or short term Occasional Care, we’re here to help you when you need us.
What’s Included in Our Occasional Care Service?
- Qualified, trauma-informed staff who put children first
- Child-focused care tailored to each child’s needs
- Safe, supportive, and engaging care and play at your home or within the community.
- Flexible hours, including before and after school, on weekends and after hours, by arrangement as required.
