Life Inside the Village
The "Little Sunshine Village" isn't just a service; it’s a standard of living. We believe that for too long, parents have been expected to do it all in isolation. Our Village is a return to how things used to be where you are supported, your children are cherished, and your well-being is a priority, not an afterthought.
1. Who are the Village Helpers?
Our Professional Standard
Unlike other platforms, we don’t just "list" people. Our Helpers are our direct employees. They are the heartbeat of our Village.
Vetted for Peace of Mind
Every worker undergoes a rigorous multi-step screening process, including:
- ✓ Enhanced Vulnerable Sector Criminal Record Checks.
- ✓ In-depth reference verification.
- ✓ Personalized orientation in the "Little Sunshine" way of care.
A Familiar Face
By hiring our staff directly, we ensure consistency. You aren't meeting a stranger every time; you are building a relationship with a team that knows your family’s rhythm.
2. How the "Preferred Rates" Work
• The Member Advantage
We believe care should be accessible. As a member, you pay a lower hourly rate than the general public.
• Simple Booking
Once you’re in the Village, you’ll have access to our private booking portal. You select your time, see your locked-in member rate, and book—no haggling, no awkward cash exchanges, and no hidden fees.
3. The Wellness Sanctuary & Child-minding
• The "Me-Time" Loophole
Our wellness sessions are held in a beautiful communal space.
• On-Site Care
We provide "child-minding" in the adjacent room. This means our helpers play with and care for your children while you are just a few steps away.
4. Safety & Comfort
Non-Medical Support
Our helpers are experts in "the rhythm of the home"—feeding, settling, tidying, and soothing. While they are highly trained, they are not medical nurses.
❤️ Complex Medical Needs & Advocacy
If your child has complex medical needs or requires clinical support, we are happy to go the extra mile for you. We will lean on our network to help connect you with the right medical professionals or specialized agencies to supplement our Village care.
We don’t just provide a service; we advocate for your family’s total well-being.
Support That Changes with the Seasons
While your monthly price stays flat and simple, our focus shifts to meet your family's needs throughout the year.
