Why Your Career Should Start at My Ohana in 2025

With government childcare funding becoming more accessible throughout 2025, the demand for nursery care is only continuing to grow. With more children than ever deemed eligible for the funded childcare hours through the government, we are only expecting the demand for available places to grow.

This leaves us in constant need of more professionals who are passionate about supporting early education, who have the patience and resilience that children need, and who are experienced in keeping children engaged with different activities. Could you be the right fit to help us grow along with the rise in demand?

Childcare itself is a broad industry, especially as we consider the various ways in which nurseries bridge play with learning, and socialisation with keeping children safe.

When parents drop their child off at a My Ohana nursery, they know that not only will their child be kept safe and occupied throughout the day, but they will learn. Everything we do seeks to unlock new interests and facilitate discovery, giving children an excellent start by developing both their personalities and their readiness for school.

Just some of the benefits of working in childcare, as highlighted by our existing team of extraordinary people, include the ability to teach, to help children develop into their personalities and to inspire through a range of hands-on activities. We pride ourselves on being regarded as a reputable childcare facility that our colleagues love to work in.

But you don’t have to just take our word for it..
