Nannies

Your Place

Whether you are returning to work, having twins/triplets or just need a hand at home, a nanny could well be the best option for you and your family. A Nurture Nanny can take the stress out of your life, seven days a week from 6.30am – 8pm.

You can leave calmly for work or leisure each day knowing that your nanny will pick up right where you left off. Regular routines are maintained in your own home as well as excursions such as swimming lessons. Unwell children are tucked in to their own beds. Your nanny will focus on your children's education, developing an intimate understanding of their needs and interests; supported by our talented Mentoring Teachers. At the end of the day they also provide another set of trained hands when the pressure really is on.

What you will Receive

Qualified ECE Teacher Support

Mentoring Teachers visit on a monthly basis during care hours. They provide support for your nanny, and encourage education tailored to children’s learning styles and interests. Our teachers will often bring supplies of books and toys, which the family can borrow. There is always a Mentoring Teacher on call in case of emergencies.
Funding Support

We are able to access a range of funding including 20 ECE hours, Work and Income Subsidies and Multiple Birth Home Help. All families receive a Nurture Subsidy, which is only available from Nurture Nannies. Financial assistance is also available for nannies to gain their First Aid Certificate.
Option of Family Educator

Do you have a friend or relative helping to care for your children? You will both qualify for funding assistance, provided you participate in our learning programme. Depending on the number of children in care you both could get around $60 per month of petrol and grocery vouchers.

No Placement Fees

The process of shortlisting and interviewing nannies suitable to your family is no small feat! All nannies undergo reference checks and Police Vetting. There is no charge for this service providing the family are enrolling with Nurture.
Nurture Groups

Nurture Groups and events run monthly at a variety of locations. They range from regular play groups to excursions such as gym groups, fire station visits and zoo trips. All Nurture Children are invited to these excursions.
Educational Support

Nannies are able to use our educational book and CD resources as well as access our in-house professional development programme.. A journal recording your children's interests and learning is maintained. An informative newsletter sent out every term, and our Facebook page will keep you up to date with the Nurture Community.

Why a Nanny?

No Place Like Home

In an ideal world most of us would like to stay home and care for our young children. Unfortunately this is not always possible, but the next best thing can be our children looked after in their own home...

Less Stress

Families employing nannies rave about the lifestyle benefits. The constant overload of busy lives and demanding children is forgotten as a nanny fills the gaps and smooths out the edges. Family life is much more enjoyable and sustainable; leaving parents with the energy to spend quality time with their children.

Affordable

“We couldn't afford it!” is often what families think when considering a nanny. However, the reality is that with the generous subsidies now available, a nanny can actually be quite affordable, particularly families with 2 or 3 preschoolers. Nurture Nannies will explore your funding options and get the best value out of your funding entitlement.
