Carebank

Postnatal Meals and
Housework Bank

Having a new baby makes for a busy life.

If you would like to join other homebirth families supporting each other by providing meals and housework in the weeks after a baby is born, join the Canterbury Homebirth Association’s Carebank.

How to be part of the Carebank:
• Join the Canterbury Homebirth Association.
• Start gaining credits (in one hour increments) by helping out another family, by cooking a meal, doing housework such as vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms, doing laundry.
• Use up your credits when you have your own baby.
• Credits can also be gifted to another person.
• Go into debit if your baby is due soon (but no more than 15 hours, to be repaid within two years).
• Contact between account holders is by email in the first instance, to protect privacy.
• Email Jo (joanna.davis@clear.net.nz) to join, with information including names, address, phone numbers, due date of your baby (if pregnant) and any special dietary requirements.
