Reaching out to parents in crisis situations and seeking to make a difference through caring support
An approved service, providing free support since 2003 to parents living in Central West Auckland with a new baby or preschooler. We are a non-profit organisation that recognises how precious our children are and want to see parents get the support they need. It might be hard to ask for help – but we see so many families experience better outcomes with some support, rather than struggling through alone.

“I wanted to thank you for the wonderful job your team does, it really makes a difference. You need more funding so you can do more visits-if I can do anything to help that, I’m happy too.”
“Thank you Hilary to you and your team for all the valuable mahi and connection you give to our whanau. Very grateful to you all.”
“My son never left the house; but he goes out with Lorraine, he runs out to call for her when she’s coming to visit. Without Lorraine my son would stay at home; he wouldn’t go to other people. He’s so happy with her. Now I can go out with him.”
“Thank you so much. I can’t imagine how I would be able to survive without your support. I am so grateful for everything you guys have provided and supported me with, such a wonderful service for Mums and babies, thanks so much.”
“This assistance from Parent Aid has enabled a family to attend grief counselling at our agency.
The service Parent Aid provide is amazing and I sincerely hope they continue to serve the families in our Auckland community. The team are also fantastic with the children and I would recommend this service to any other families I may work with in the future.”
