Tell me more about the Parent Aid Home Support Worker who will help me in my home?
The person who comes to your home is an experienced parent and trained Parent Aid Home Support Worker. They will wear a Parent Aid North West badge with their name so you can identify them but apart from that they will be like any other person visiting your home. Trained in first aid and experienced in raising a family and running a household, they will be able to quickly fit into your routine and help you in the best possible way.
How can the service be free?
Parent Aid North West is a registered charity that receives funding from trusts such as Community Organisations Grant Scheme (COGS), Foundation North, Helensville Birthing Centre, New Zealand Lottery Grants Board, Catholic Caring Foundation, Z Good in the Hood, Lister Presbyterian Health Trust and Pub Charity Limited. It is through the generosity of these Funders and donations that we are able to provide a free service to the community.
