FAQ’s

Karegaroo is currently offering services in the East York and Scarborough areas of Toronto. If you’re looking for childcare outside our current service areas, we’d love to know what neighbourhood you’re in so please drop us a line.

We know people are different so every Karegaroo match is based on profiles submitted by both parents and caregivers. For parents, this means that they can expect not just the best care for their children, but also care that is always safe and reliable and matches their specific needs and preferences (such whether you need in-home or drop-off care).

Every Karegaroo childcare provider must meet our standards of training and reliability to be featured on our platform. We recruit people who take pride in their work, so we support our caregiving community by giving them access to continuous learning so that they are always up to date on safety, childcare techniques, and early learning methods.
