Schooldays Childcare

Schooldays Childcare is a job website for parents in Ireland seeking childcare providers. You can start with a free plan that includes posting one job ad for 90 days and browsing childminder profiles. Paid plans let you post unlimited job ads, contact carers directly, and receive email match alerts when suitable carers become available. You can cancel a paid plan at any time with one click, or pause it if you secure long-term care. Payments are handled securely through Stripe.

To find the right carer, you can filter by job type (Au Pair, Babysitting, Childminder, Nanny, Special Needs Care), distance from a location (from 3 km up to 50 km), and whether the carer is Garda vetted. You can also sort results by recommended, nearest, most experienced, newest members, or last active. Carer profiles may display an hourly rate in euros, years of experience, and indicators such as non-smoker, pet friendly, and willing to travel with the family. Carers can self-declare as Garda Vetted, but the site advises you to request the original certificate before hiring.
