Need a Nanny/Educator or Household Manager?
Placement Solutions can help you in Melbourne, Victoria-wide and now in Sydney with a Professional Nanny/Educator* or Household Manager.
During this lockdown, we need to clarify a bit more for families making new enquiries particularly for short term work. We still really want to help you but please know we are receiving a high volume of enquiries. If it is urgent temporary care (under one month) you can either book a call (min 24hr wait - calendly) or go on the waitlist for a call back before that. We are not accepting day jobs at less than 6 hours per shift during the week in order to maximise the utilization of our wonderful nanny workforce.
We proudly stand behind the most stringent of recruitment practices and have over 30 years leading this industry as an elite service in Melbourne. Soon launching in Sydney, if you are looking for a Professional that is legally paid and equipped to offer the very best to your family, you need to contact us. We service greater Melbourne and Sydney and all our Educators are all legally employed by the agency as a labour-hire firm.
We recognise that every family is different and that your needs are unique. In business since 1988, we can expertly guide you and continue to support you to ensure that you have the best solution for your family's needs.
We also place the most astute Household Managers; enabling you to lose the stress and live the dream. By outsourcing those household tasks you'd rather not do, you can finally reclaim some of your free time!

Testimonials
I always appreciate the time taken to speak to families that I refer to them. It is an overwhelming time for new parents, and the subsidy system and government rigmarole is complicated. They take good care of the families that they service and send wonderful and compassionate nannies and carers to families that need care during the hardest of times.
