Here for you.
here for your family.
We exist because most people get too little support for one of life’s hardest transitions - becoming (and being) a parent.
Dew Drops brings real, in-home help that doesn’t disappear after a few weeks - support that’s practical, steady, parent-centred and grounded in lived experience and real day-to-day needs.
our vision
koha fund
We believe this support is essential and should be available to everyone - and while we aim to keep our pricing as sustainable as possible, support shouldn’t be a privilege.
Thanks to our amazing community, we have a limited number of koha fund sessions available, which can fully or partially cover in-home support.
Need support? If you’re struggling, in crisis or without other help, or know someone who is?
All requests are private and anonymous - please reach out.
Want to give back? You can donate to keep the fund growing and help support families through their biggest seasons. You can make a donation here

“ Dew Drops is amazing - they understand the need for a safe, non-judgemental space.
Support made me feel comfortable in my home… No unsolicited advice, just personalised, respectful care.
I felt supported, not judged, and it was a life-saver! ” -
“ Dew Drops helped us transition from one to two kids with daily household support and helping with our toddler. Created space for us to enjoy newborn cuddles.
Dew Drops was wonderful company during the emotional postnatal period. Highly recommend” -
“ After a hospital stay and caring for my 18-month-old after surgery, I reached out in crisis. Dew Drops responded quickly and took care of my home - going above and beyond, doing things I hadn’t even thought of. The support was exactly what we needed. ”
