Job Description

Start Here. Grow Here.


At BestStart Ponsonby, we’re passionate about creating a place where children, whānau, and educators feel connected, valued, and supported.


Our beautiful villa-style centre is nestled in the heart of Ponsonby, set on a spacious site with wonderful natural outdoor play areas and a warm, home-away-from-home atmosphere. We take pride in building strong, lasting relationships with families so we truly understand each child and can support them to grow, learn, and become their best future selves.


About the Role


We’re looking for a caring, energetic, and committed Caregiver to join our wonderful infants team. This is a permanent, full-time position working 40 hours per week.

As part of our team, you’ll play an important role in nurturing our youngest tamariki, supporting their learning, development, and wellbeing every day. Through responsive care, meaningful interactions, and warm, trusting relationships, you’ll help create an environment where babies feel safe, secure, loved, and confident to explore the world around them.


What We Offer


  • A warm, supportive, and welcoming team environment
  • Opportunities to learn, grow, and develop your early childhood career
  • A centre that values natural learning and child-led exploration
  • Subsidised health insurance (eligibility criteria apply)
  • Childcare discounts
  • A beautiful centre where relationships and connection are at the heart of what we do


Who We’re Looking For


You’ll be someone who:


  • Has a genuine passion for working with babies and young children
  • Is warm, kind, respectful, and nurturing
  • Builds positive and trusting relationships with tamariki, whānau, and colleagues
  • Is a positive team player who communicates openly and honestly
  • Is flexible, reliable, and happy to lend a hand wherever needed
  • Has previous caregiving or early childhood experience (preferred, but not essential)


Ready to Make a Difference?


If you’re looking for a role where you can build meaningful relationships, support tamariki to thrive, and be part of a team that genuinely cares, we’d love to hear from you.
