About Us
Our ethos is simple: children come first.
Since our establishment in 1988, we ensure that clients, nannies, and the agency work together to keep children safe, happy, and healthy. This commitment is at the core of everything we do.
We support our nannies and educators by:
- Ongoing Professional Development - We provide continuous professional development through an extensive in-house education program.
- Legal pay and conditions - We ensure legal pay and conditions, which is essential for attracting and retaining top talent in our industry.
- An end-to-end solution - We offer comprehensive solutions from recruitment to payroll, handling all employment queries. We partner with Just Family Payroll to guarantee that all nannies are paid legally and on time, every time.
Placement Solutions is the industry leader
Placement Solutions is an industry leader with a strong track record of excellence. We are Australian-owned and operated by Louise Dunham since 1988. We were among the first agencies to offer quality, experienced, and personally screened professional Nannies/Educators.
- In 2022, our CEO was honored with the international INA Meritorious Service Award for her 34 years of dedication to making the nanny sector more professional, accountable, and legal.
- In 2018, we were thrilled to receive two prestigious awards from the Association of Premier Nanny Agencies, USA. Our agency was recognized for Excellence in Agency Services worldwide, and Louise, our CEO, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for her 30 years of service to improving the nannying industry globally.
- In 2016, our CEO published State of the Nanny, essential reading for nannies and their employers.
We uphold the principle of caring for your most precious assets and consider it an honor to be invited into your home to care for your family. Our CEO played a key role in developing the Government Approved In-Home Care Scheme, providing eligible clients access to child care benefits and rebates through Placement Solutions.
Louise served on the INA Executive Board for five years, including roles as Chair of the Ethics Committee, 2nd VP, and VP. As the first non-American and first Australian on the Board, she truly exemplified international leadership.
Placement Solutions is proud to be a member of the Australian Home Childcare Association (AHCA) since 2002. This association sets industry benchmarks and maintains a voluntary code of ethics, ensuring that the safety, welfare, and happiness of your children remain the paramount duty of all AHCA members.
