Parenting is a full-time juggling act. Between work, school runs, homework, and housework—not to mention carving out a little time to relax—finding reliable child care or academic support can feel overwhelming. That’s where Juggle Street, an easy-to-use, trusted child care and tutoring platform in Australia and New Zealand, comes in. Whether you need a babysitter for a night out, before or after school care, a regular nanny for weekdays, or a qualified tutor for school support, Juggle Street connects you with local, verified helpers near you.

Here’s everything parents need to know to get started.

What Is Juggle Street and How Does It Work?

Juggle Street is a neighbourhood-based babysitting and tutoring platform that links families with:

Babysitters
Nannies
After-school carers
Primary and high school tutors

Unlike expensive agencies, Juggle Street offers a community-driven solution where families can find flexible help from trusted locals. It operates across Australia and New Zealand, enabling real-time access to available helpers in your suburb.

Step-by-Step: How to Use Juggle Street as a Parent

Creating your account is quick and free:

Step 1 – Create Your Family Profile

Add your name, suburb, and household details.

Step 2 – Describe Your Childcare or Tutoring Needs

Write a short description about your family and what you need—like a babysitter or tutor.

Step 3 – Choose a Membership Plan

Choose a monthly or annual membership to post unlimited jobs, message local helpers, and get public liability insurance included.

Once your profile is completed, you’re ready to post your first job and start connecting with local helpers.

Desktop or App? Use Both!

Juggle Street is built for busy parents. You can access the platform on desktop or via the mobile app (iOS and Android).

Parents love the app for:

Posting babysitting or tutoring jobs on-the-go
Every family is unique, so parents choose an hourly rate that fits their job and values the helper’s experience.
Chatting instantly with local helpers
Tracking job responses in real time

The desktop version is ideal for profile browsing and writing detailed job posts. Whichever you prefer, both platforms make it easy to manage your helper network.

How to Post a Childcare or Tutoring Job

Posting a job on Juggle Street takes just minutes:

You will be prompted to select your job type (one-off babsyitting, recurring nannying, recurring before & after school care, primary or high school tutoring) and outline your schedule
Set your hourly rate and invite helpers to your job
Message and confirm – Chat securely with interested helpers and award the job when you’re ready.

You set the hourly rate and pay the helper directly via cash or bank transfer at the end of the job

Build a Trusted Network of Helpers

Juggle Street helps you create a list of go-to helpers you can rely on. You'll be able to:

Filter by driver’s licence, special needs, languages, and other key preferences.
Read reviews and ratings from other families
Mark favourites for fast re-booking
Change your address to find babsyitters when you're at a different location

Over time, you can build a trusted network of babysitters and tutors for every situation—whether it's regular tutoring or a last-minute babysitting emergency.

Safety and Verification

Safety is a top priority at Juggle Street. The platform includes:

Mobile verification for all users
Verified Working With Children Checks (WWCC) for Australian Helpers 18+
All messaging stays within the secure platform
Transparent ratings and reviews after each job

Note: Juggle Street is an introduction-only platform. Helpers are not employees, so families are encouraged to complete their own reference checks for ongoing or specialised roles.

Academic Support: Find a Local Tutor

Juggle Street is more than just babysitting. It’s also home to hundreds of qualified tutors who can help your child succeed.

Tutoring services include:

Homework support
Primary and secondary school tutoring
Exam preparation (NAPLAN, HSC, etc.)
Specialist subject help: maths, English, science, and more

Many tutors are university students, trained teachers, or education professionals living nearby.

Payment & Cancellations

On Juggle Street parents set the price of every job and pay their helpers directly at the end of each job in cash or via bank transfer.

If a job needs to be cancelled, helpers and families are asked to give as much notice as possible—respect and reliability are a two-way street. If a helper needs to cancel a job, the parent can easily repost their job to find another helper.

Top Tips for Parents Using Juggle Street

To get the most out of the platform:

Invite a large group of helpers to your job to see who is available, then ask questions/chat with the ones you think would be a good fit.
Clearly communicate expectations, house rules, and special needs
Stay local—helpers nearby are more likely to be available regularly
Be courteous—strong relationships start with mutual respect
