BE A PART OF THE CHILDMINDING CO.
The Childminding Co. are a professional childminding agency, servicing Rockhampton, Gladstone and surrounding areas. We are currently searching for an enthusiastic, dependable, and responsible Group Childminder/Program Facilitator to join our team.

On other days, particularly school holidays, you'll help run our popular craft and activity programs at shopping centres, holiday accommodations, and community events.
