What the work looks like in Brighton
Brighton is a family-home suburb rather than an apartment market, so bookings tend to be regular part-time or full-time arrangements built around a family's work schedule, along with after-school and school pickup roles for carers who hold a current driver's licence.
What carers earn in Brighton
A Certificate III qualified educator earns from $40 per hour for one child in Brighton, rising by $20 per hour for each additional child in care -- $60/hr for two, $80/hr for three, $100/hr for four. Diploma-qualified carers start at $50/hr and degree-qualified carers at $55/hr for one child. The platform takes a flat $15 per hour fee at every tier -- there is no percentage cut.
For comparison, a Cert III educator in a childcare centre earns from $29.52 per hour under the Children's Services Award. Full-time care for one child through Nest and Nurture Little Ones is $1,520 per week at the Certificate III rate, and overnight newborn shifts (9pm-7am) pay a flat $200 to the carer, with any active care beyond the base billed at $55/hr and kept in full.
Brighton pay reference
Platform fee is a flat $15/hr at every qualification tier -- the carer keeps everything else.
What you need to join
A minimum Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care, a current Working With Children Check, HLTAID012 child-specific first aid, a national police check, pertussis vaccination, at least two years of verified childcare experience and two references. Carers work as independent contractors and need an ABN. School pickup roles additionally require a current driver's licence and an appropriate vehicle -- families supply all child restraints.
Getting around Brighton
The Sandringham train line runs three stations through Brighton, and trams 3/3a and 64 service the Nepean Highway corridor on the suburb's western edge, useful for carers travelling without a car.
