Our Story
Because families deserve support
As a family physician and a mother, I have seen how stressful it can be when a child becomes ill. Parents shouldn't have to choose between caring for their child and meeting work commitments. Little Care was created to offer families another option.
We provide compassionate, healthcare-led support for families through professional sick childcare and postpartum services – giving children the care they need and parents the peace of mind they deserve.
Our Services
Care tailored to your family's needs
In-home sick child care
Compassionate care in the comfort of your home for children who are ill, recovering from surgery, are immunocompromised, or simply recover best at home.
Hospital Companion Care
A trusted Little Care caregiver stays by your child’s side in hospital, providing comfort, companionship and regular updates when you cannot be there. Subject to availability and hospital permission.
Postpartum Support
Practical support for growing families during the first weeks after welcoming a new baby.
