What Is Big Brother Help?

Updated: 2 days ago


Big Brother Help is designed especially for families who want support for boys of any age. It works similarly to a traditional nannying or babysitting service — but instead of being paired with a female carer, your child spends time with a reliable, responsible male role model.


This service is ideal for boys who are active, energetic, or simply feel more comfortable with an older male to guide them, play with them, or help them through their routines.

George is our dedicated male staff member for Big Brother Help, bringing a calm, friendly, and energetic presence that boys relate to immediately. At 15 years old and 6ft 3, he’s active, sporty, and confident — the ideal match for boys who enjoy outdoor play, physical activities, or simply having an older role model to look up to.


He currently attends Auckland Grammar School and has strong experience in sports, including U15A rugby and representative tag. This makes him great at keeping up with energetic kids and engaging them in games, exercise, and structured routines.

Known for being humorous, easy to talk to, and great with younger children, George is comfortable supervising, supporting after-school routines, and building rapport quickly. As an older brother himself, he naturally steps into that “big brother” role — someone fun, reliable, and able to connect with kids in a genuine way.

If your son would benefit from an active, positive male role model, George is a fantastic fit for Big Brother Help.



How Big Brother Help Works

Our Big Brother helpers can support your family in a range of ways, including:

  • Spending time with your child after school

  • Helping with homework or school routines

  • Playing sports or physical activities outside

  • Supervising indoor games, creative activities, or free play

  • Supporting evening routines such as dinner, showers, or bedtime

  • Providing general care and safe, engaged supervision

Just like our nannying and babysitting services, Big Brother Help is flexible. You can book regular sessions, occasional support, or one-off help when you need it.


Why Families Choose Big Brother Help

  • Boys often relate well to an older male who shares their energy and interests

  • It provides a positive role model for younger or older boys
