In-Home Childcare Respite for Clients with Parenting Responsibilities

A referral option for occupational therapists and rehabilitation teams

When a workplace injury or motor vehicle accident affects a client’s ability to safely manage their usual childcare responsibilities, Blue Ribbon Nannies provides in-home respite support as part of their broader recovery plan.

How this fits into a client’s care needs

Where a functional or care-needs assessment identifies that a client’s caring capacity has been affected — whether that’s supervising children, managing school or daycare drop-offs and pickups, attending medical appointments, or coping during periods of pain, restricted mobility, or active rehabilitation — childcare respite can be considered as part of their attendant-care needs.

We work alongside treating and rehabilitation teams to deliver reliable, flexible in-home support, subject to the relevant insurer’s approval (CTP or Workers Compensation).

Why refer to us

  • Experienced, carefully screened carers matched to each family’s needs
  • We handle scheduling, contracts, and payroll — minimal admin for you or your client
  • Flexible support: full-day supervision, school-run assistance, or coverage around appointments
  • Established Sydney and Illawarra agency, operating since 1995
