Special needs nannies & babysitters in Cape Town

Every child deserves a caregiver who understands them. Many of our nannies have specialised experience or training in supporting children with additional needs.

Matched to your child

Add your child's needs, routines, triggers and comforts to their profile. We use these details to match you with a nanny who is equipped to support your family.

Whether it is ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivities, medical conditions or physical needs, tell us what works for your child and we will take it from there.

Safety and care first

• Every nanny is screened: criminal background check, identity verification, references from previous families and a personal interview.
• First-aid certified caregivers, selected for warmth, patience and a play-first approach.
• Secure card payments through PayFast, with a booking confirmation by email.
• A detailed caregiver profile before short-term and hotel bookings, and a meet-and-greet for longer placements.

Helpful to share

• Communication preferences and calming strategies
• Medication, with written instructions
• Dietary needs and allergies
• Therapies, school routines and emergency contacts

Do your nannies have special needs experience?

Many of our nannies have specialised experience or training. Include your child's requirements in their profile so we can match the right caregiver.

Can a nanny give medication?

Only with your written consent and clear instructions, in the original labelled container, and if the caregiver is comfortable doing so.

Can we meet the nanny first?

For longer placements we always encourage a meet-and-greet. For short bookings we share a detailed caregiver profile beforehand.
