For FIFO & shift-roster families

Care that works around your roster

When one parent's on swing, the other holds everything together. We give Perth's FIFO families a trusted carer for the school runs, the early starts and the long stretches solo.

We understand FIFO life

The roster doesn't stop for bedtime.

Two weeks on, one week off. 4-and-1 swings. A 4am drive to the airport. When your partner flies out, the school runs, the witching hour and the sick days all land on one set of shoulders.

We give you a reliable carer who learns your family's routine and shows up when you need them, so the at-home parent gets a break and the kids keep a familiar face through every swing.

Every swing
The same trusted carer, swing after swing, so your children always see a familiar face.

How we help FIFO families

🗓️

Care synced to your swing

Regular bookings that ramp up while your partner's away and ease off when they're home.

🌅

Early starts & airport runs

A carer at the door before dawn so you can make the FIFO drop-off without waking the kids.

🎒

School runs & after-school

Pick-ups, homework and the dinner-bath-bed rush handled while you catch your breath.

💛

A break for the at-home parent

A few regular hours to rest, exercise or just breathe makes all the difference.

How care maps to your swing

A typical 2-and-1 roster. We ramp care up while your partner's away, then ease right back when they're home.

Week 1 · Partner away
Full support

Regular school runs, after-school care and a couple of evenings so you're not running on empty.

Week 2 · Partner away
Full support

The same carer continues, plus a weekend block so you get real downtime before changeover.

Week 3 · Partner home
Light touch

Care eases off so you enjoy family time, with a date night booked in to reconnect.

An example only — we build your schedule around your actual roster.

With my husband on a 2-and-1, having the same sitter every swing has been a lifesaver. The kids love her and I finally get a break.

FIFO family FAQs

Can you book around my partner's roster?

Absolutely. Share your swing pattern and we'll build a regular booking that ramps up while they're away and eases off when they're home.

Will it be the same carer each time?

Wherever possible, yes. Consistency is everything for FIFO kids, so we keep the same trusted face swing after swing.

Can you do early-morning airport runs?

Yes. We can have a carer at your home before dawn so you can make the FIFO drop-off without disturbing the children.

How much notice do you need?

The more the better. Because rosters are known ahead of time, FIFO families are perfectly placed to lock in regular care early.
