We're for busy mums

To be your village amidst the chaos, and to help you create a happier, well-balanced family life.

Offering Mackay parents a helping hand when it comes to rearing children and completing daily chores

We understand the daily struggles and challenges of being a mum, and we’re dedicated to providing the support you need to thrive.

We also know how important it is to have your own time, so that when you are with your children you feel refreshed and energised to be the best version of yourself you can for them. Make that appointment, go on that lunch date, have a moment of peace to yourself, feeling confident that your kids are happy at home while your house chores are getting done.

Let us share the load and create a happier, more balanced home environment.

About Us

Owner and Founder of It Takes a Village, Hollee Hornick, is always eager to give back to her community.

Helping others brings her great joy, and she has a natural talent for making others feel cared for and supported, whether it’s by offering a listening ear or providing emotional and practical assistance.

As a fellow mum, she understands firsthand the challenges and rewards of parenthood. She knows that motherhood can be both overwhelming and fulfilling, and she is ready to lend her support to other mums in need.

With Hollee’s support, other mums can feel empowered to face any obstacle with strength and resilience, knowing that they are not alone in their journey.

Finding someone as caring and efficient as Hollee was a true blessing. With her help, I’ve been able to get on top of my work projects knowing my babies are taken care of.

She not only keeps my house organised for me while I sit at the laptop, but also showers my kids with so much warmth and playfulness. I can’t express how grateful I am for her support during this phase of life.

Bailey M, Andergrove

I’m beyond thankful for Hollee’s services. She has helped me get on top of the daily chores while I be with my newborn. It’s hard to find someone who is both reliable and compassionate, and who fits in so naturally at home.

She is making it easier for me to navigate the rough parts of motherhood without feeling overwhelmed. I wholeheartedly recommend Hollee to any mum who needs an extra pair of hands.

Amanda P, South Mackay

I seriously can’t thank Hollee enough for all the help she’s given us. I have a husband that works away, and taking care of a newborn means my other two young children don’t get the attention they need.

Hollee taking care of the house stuff and hanging out with my older kids has been a total lifesaver. I can concentrate on the baby, knowing everything’s sorted.
