Job Description

BestStart Paraparaumu is looking for a passionate Caregiver to join our energetic and close-knit team.


Our infant room is licensed for 19 children under two, and we're looking for someone who loves working with infants, values teamwork, and is passionate about supporting tamariki to learn and thrive. We pride ourselves on creating a positive, fun environment where we work together, share plenty of laughs, and provide high-quality care and education. Conveniently located near shops, parks, public transport, and the beach, our centre is a great place to grow your career.

This is a permanent, full-time position (40 hours per week), Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:30pm, working with infants.


About You


We're looking for someone who:


  • Has a genuine passion for working with infants and toddlers
  • Enjoys being part of a supportive team
  • Has experience working with children under five
  • Is proactive, reliable, and willing to learn


An ECE qualification is not required, but previous experience with young children is essential.
