In a move to help short-staffed early childhood education providers find qualified employees, the founder of G8 Education (ASX: GEM)-backed babysitting app Kiddo has launched a new service connecting them to more than 12,000 carers.
Called Kiddo for Childcare, the service is an extension of the Kiddo app, which has amassed more than 30,000 users and 12,000-plus carers since it was launched in 2019 by entrepreneur Rebecca Dredge.
The latest rollout allows providers to post job advertisements for educators, assistants, centre managers and more, with the roles advertised to the thousands of carers already on Kiddo.
Potential employers can see each candidate’s profile image, qualifications, and ratings from previous babysitting, nannying and NDIS care services they have provided. While posting each job ad costs $200, companies are only charged if candidates apply for the gig.
Dredge said she designed the service as a solution to empower the industry and bridge the gap in qualified staff.
“Kiddo hopes to revolutionise recruitment for the childcare industry, providing a seamless platform where qualified Kiddo carers are just a click away,” she said.
