Local, safe and reliable transport on the Hibiscus Coast
I aim to keep things simple and personal — here’s how easy it is to book your ride:
Get in touch by phone or through the enquiry form to check if there’s a seat available on MyBus for your child’s school zone and the days you need. Seats are limited and run on a weekly subscription basis to hold your child’s spot. If you’re outside my current route, I’ll connect you with one of our vetted parent drivers who serves your area.
If you’d like, we can arrange a quick meet-and-greet so you and your child can get comfortable before the first ride. We’ll confirm the correct car seat or booster (for ages 5–7), and you’ll complete the required forms — Terms & Conditions, Parent Indemnity, and emergency contact details — so we have everything on file. Once confirmed, you’ll receive your driver’s contact details for easy communication.
Your first week acts as a short trial to make sure the routine works well for everyone. From there, your child’s seat is secured for those set days each week. Your driver (whether it’s me, Chazelle, or another trusted mum/parent driver) will message you when your child is picked up, safely dropped off, and handed over to the authorised adult at the destination.
Getting your kids to and from school or after-school activities shouldn’t feel like a daily juggling act.
At Kids Shuttle, safety comes first. I’m Chazelle — a local mom who knows exactly how stressful it can be to coordinate pickups and drop-offs when life gets busy. That’s why I started this service: to give parents peace of mind and kids a safe, familiar ride every time.
I don’t just pull up to the curb and drive off. I make sure they’re handed over to the right person and only leave when I know they’re safe – exactly how you would do it yourself.
.
Safety isn’t an add-on — it’s the whole reason I started Kids Shuttle. As a mum, I know how important it is to feel 100% confident about who’s driving your kids.
I hold a TSL and Passenger Endorsement licence, Child First Aid training, and a clear police record.
My car has NZTA standard child seats, commercial insurance, and is WOF compliant.
I only leave when I know your child is safely collected or dropped to the right person.
Real Families | Real Feedback
This started because I saw other parents in our community struggling the same way I was — rushing from work, stuck in traffic, or worrying about making it to the school gates on time.
For now, it’s just me offering rides. One mum, helping other mums and dads in our neighbourhood. As the need grows, I’ll look at bringing in other trusted parents — but for now, your child gets my full attention, every ride.
As Kids Shuttle NZ grows, I’ll be welcoming more vetted local parents as drivers — creating safe, flexible jobs for our community and helping more families get where they need to go.
