Question 2

How is Villey different from other support platforms?

Villey is made by mums for mums (and families). It’s a trusted platform for busy parents and families to get on-demand support around the home. Managing a busy life can be hard and time consuming. On the Villey app you can connect with a supportive and capable helper to tackle those chores, errands, and anything in between. Services include: help around the home, help with the kids, meal prep and cooking, home organisation, running errands and life admin support. As a client, you can engage with a single helper or multiple helpers throughout the week for short or longer periods, to fit in with your needs.

Question 4

Is it safe to use Villey?

Accepted Answer

Villey is made by mums for mums (and families). The safety of our users is our top priority. Our industry leading onboarding process requires all Villey helpers to follow our onboarding suitability and ID veridication steps prior to having access to applying for jobs.

While providing proof of a Police Check, Working With Children Check, ABN and reference checks are all optional upon helper sign-up, a smart filtering function allows for clients to be in control of whats important to them, making it easy to find a helper that suits their individual needs and criteria.

Question 5

What is the difference between a one-off or recurring appointment?

Accepted Answer

As the name suggests, a one-off appointment is a single appointment, with no repeats. One-off appointments still require a service agreement to be completed and agreed upon by the client and helper.

If you intend on having more than one session with the same helper, or you wish to repeat the session every week (with or without an end date), you will be booking a recurring appointment.

Recurring appointments can:
 • Be booked with or without an end date
 • Exclude dates if you know you don’t require a helper on a certain date (i.e. pausing over school holidays)
 • Be adjusted as time goes by (i.e. you want to change from a Tuesday 9am repeat to a Thursday 9.30am repeat).
