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.

We can provide different solutions for people searching for ongoing childcare as a longer term solution for their family (usually more than 6 months).
This can be on either a full time or part time basis. You simply choose the hours you need. Please note that we have a 6 hour mininum shift and most professional Nannies want and need to work an 8 to a 10 hour day. We therefore do not take before and afterschool care bookings.

A Nanny Share arrangement can give you the best of both worlds.
By sharing in-home care with another family you reduce the cost, whilst your child still benefits from the high level of personal care and attention you receive from us.

We strive to offer a professional solution for people requiring a live-in arrangement.
We also offer the equivalent of an Au Pair, called a part-time Live-in Nanny/Educator. Part-time hours just like an Au Pair working 15 to 30 hours perweek - perfect for all families' needs.
A room of one's own and separate bathroom just for the Nanny are the mininum accomodation necessary. Live in Nannies are in very short supply post the pandemic lockdown.
