LocalCARE Introduction
LocalCARE is our range of recruiting and vetting services for families seeking long term (longer than 90 day service) fulltime, part time or on-demand FamilyCARE support services.
Sitters4u has offered full service professional placement and recruitment services since 2007. Having processed over 100 000 applications since 2007, we maintain a continually active base of candidates nationally.
While Sitters4U has always offered full service placement and strictly pre-screened candidates, in order to provide services to those that find professional placement fees too exorbitant, we have compartmentalised our service so that local clients can now build their own service package in accordance with their needs.
