A Future Opportunity for Local Parents

Become a Trusted Driver

Right now, Kids Shuttle is just me — a local mum helping other mums and dads with safe, reliable school pickups and drop-offs. But as more families in our community ask for help, I know there will come a time when I can’t do it all on my own.

When that happens, I’ll be looking for other trusted parents — mums and dads just like you — who want flexible work that fits around their own children, while making a real difference for other families.

👉 If you’d like to be the first to know when I’m ready to bring more drivers on board, join the driver waitlist below.
