Let us introduce our exciting new partnership with Kiddo! Kiddo is an on-demand babysitting booking app that connects parents to babysitters instantly.

When it comes to finding care and support services for children with disabilities, it can be overwhelming. However, you may be excited to learn that Kiddo App can be very beneficial for your little one in a variety of ways. Kiddo specifically matches you with NDIS Support workers suited to your child's needs. Providing more child focused care options and flexibility with last minute care options too. Supports can be provided through your Core Funding.

The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) provides Plans funded by the government to support people with disabilities, including those who have been diagnosed with autism or intellectual disability. If you have global development delay for children 7 and younger you will be eligible for funding through your local NDIS ECA (Early Childhood Approach) provider. If you're not sure where to begin when looking for NDIS support, a great starting point is engaging a NDIS ECA or LAC (Local area coordinators). They can help you find suitable services working with children with disabilities, as well as explain your funding options.

Once your child has been assessed, you can narrow down your requirements and decide what suits your family’s needs best. The Benefit of using Kiddo is that Kiddo provides babysitting and ongoing care services for children who are not covered by NDIS, which is beneficial for families who may have multiple children or are still awaiting a diagnosis for their child; in fact, research indicates that 60% of families in Australia have two or more children.

Here are some important factors to consider when choosing disability care for children:

• Does the support worker match to your family

• Is the organisation able to find someone in your area

• Does the Support Worker specialise in working with children

• Qualifications, working with children checks and identification

Kiddo is accessible to all families at a touch of a button. Some of the reasons why Kiddo is accessible is that it specifically matches you with NDIS support workers suited to your child's needs. This provides more child-focused care options and flexibility with last-minute care options too. Another reason why Kiddo is accessible is that supports can be provided through your Core Funding. Alternatively, Kiddo can provide a simple Tax Invoice to your plan manager. Kiddo is accessible to people in the community, school or any location care may be required.
