What our clients are saying about us

Date night was one of those things we honestly never had time for – either working or too exhausted…and the cracks were starting to show. We saw a post about Little Wonders pop up in one of the Defence Facebook Groups and thought we would give it try. Our kiddos now ask us to go on date nights so they can spend time with “THEIR” babysitter! Aha It’s so good that the kids enjoy their parent free time – and wedon’t feel guilty about it anymore! Highly recommend!

My hubby is often out sea (navy) multiple times a year – this means I solo mum it like any other ADF mum most of the time. Our Little Wonders babysitter has been the best! I can attend medical and beauty appointments child free, take a few hours to catch up with friends and have a coffee before it gets cold! The defence discount is handy so thanks for offering this! Thanks again!

We’re just settling into our new house – this is our 4th army posting but our first with kids in tow! We hired a babysitter for a few hours when our furniture and house contents were being unloaded…BEST decision ever! We were able to get the house sorted and the kids had so much fun. The babysitter even brought along a pop up tent, a suitcase full of activities and a crafting table! LIFESAVER!
