Join a wonderful support network

Working as an Educator with Nurture@Home as your support network you become part of a fun, nurturing and professional team, caring for children in your own home as an at-home Educator or in the families home as a Nanny Educator. You can choose to work part-time or full-time and choose hours to suit your own family.

Here’s what a current Educator (who is a trained Early Childhood Teacher) has to say about joining the Nurture@Home team:
“Working with a small number of children is wonderful, not just for me but for the children as well, as I can spend nurturing and quality care with each child. Working with Nurture@Home is amazing, I have never met such a supporting, caring, kind and helpful team who generally care for everyone on and in the team” 😘

Testimonials

The best team to work with absolutely!

The best team to work with absolutely! I became an Educator with Nurture@Home because my heart drummed to the same beat as the philosophy of these beautiful people. Now my every day is filled nurturing with quality care for the precious tamariki and their whanau I am privileged to be a part of. Definitely enquire if you are considering homebased learning for your own child or for becoming an Educator yourself. Highly recommend!

Get started yesterday

Beautiful company to work with, in fact describing Nurture@Home as a company doesn’t feel right at all – it’s closer to being a large extended family in every sense & words can’t describe how amazing this is. I am thankful and blessed to be part of such a kind, loving, nurturing, heart centered, supportive community. I have truly flourished in my time with Nurture. If your considering either placing your pride and joy with Nurture@Home or becoming an Educator yourself, the only advice I have to offer is – GET STARTED YESTERDAY – because this is a fabulous opportunity & people are clicking on to it. Spaces do not hang around long! Thank you for all of the love, support & opportunities you provide us with as Educators Nurture, we adore you.

They have exceeded my expectations

I recently joined the Nurture@Home team as an Educator because their philosophy falls close to my heart. I feel they have exceeded my expectations in terms of support, subsidies for families, professional development and regular group experiences (Playschool and NatureFocus etc). I feel that these experiences contribute to providing a rich programme for the children and an opportunity to develop networks with other Educators, Nurturing and educate children in my home is such a pleasure with Nurture@Home.

Nurture@Home are supportive and encouraging

Nurture@Home are supportive and encouraging and always on hand to assist me. I find the communication excellent and the ability to stay in the loop with what is happening to be of ease. My Visiting Teacher always comes prepared for our monthly visits, with loads of handouts and feedback for me to consider.
