A lovely idea.

that is a great way for that age group to get back into the workforce

Being employed by a business means Workcover/insurance and compulsory Superannuation payments has to come out of cost of the service.

As a parent whose son’s paternal grandparents lived overseas and maternal lived interstate I have thought how wonderful it would be to have an older grandparent type figure around. My son has missed out on being around his grandparents a lot and I have always worked full time, bar a small stint of 6 months last year, so I think this is absolutely wonderful.

Sounds very similar to one a few years back – looking for grandmas as their children didn’t have one.
Saw this on TV the other night, but couldn’t imagine using it at $35 an hour. Why are you working if you are paying out that much money – you must have a really high paid job. Most workers I know are lucky to get $25 an hour themselves.

I think this is great – it would be rewarding especially for families whose children don’t have grandparents – and for those Nonna’s whose children live far away – I think it is a wonderful idea that is rewarding to all involved. – I would use them 🙂 I think they have lots to teach us and our children

I can understand this nonna service can be of great help and release of burden for parents who work full time.
We don’t have family living in Australia and having no network to fall back to is hard at some times. That being said we’re rather self-sufficient (probably life taught us so) and are happy in being so.

I wouldn’t use it – Id want them to have qualifications.

I would not use this service – but I do see the potential for other people to use this service. I like new business ideas and wish them success.

It looks like a good idea to me! 🙂

I wouldn’t use it but each to their own.
