The Heart Behind Catch a Care
At the core of Catch a Care is Elzaan—a passionate, qualified counselor and life coach with a heart for children, families, and the people who care for them.
What started as a dream to understand families better led Elzaan into the world of Psychology, Family Counseling, and hands-on childcare experience. From rocking newborns to calming toddler meltdowns, she’s been in the thick of it—and knows exactly how much dedication (and skill!) it takes to care for a home full of little ones.
While working as an au pair and studying counseling, she saw the gap in quality childcare training—and knew something had to change.
That was the start of Catch a Care:
✨ A place where carers are equipped,
✨ Families are supported, and
✨ Every child and home is nurtured in a safe, intentional, and loving way.
Since then, Elzaan has become a:
- Qualified Life Coach (2017)
- Registered Counselor (2019)
- Certified Biblical Counselor (2024)
With over 6 years of practical experience and collaboration with specialists, she’s helped shape a community of well-trained, trusted nannies and au pairs who step into homes with confidence, care, and the right tools for the job.
Whether you’re a mom looking for the perfect fit for your family, or a childcarer ready to level up, you’re in the right place.
At Catch a Care, we’re not just matching families with nannies—we’re raising the standard of childcare in South Africa, one home at a time.
“ We’re here to catch your cares – so you don’t have to carry them alone.” – Elzaan, Founder
