We value the importance of matching appropriate Nannies with families for our In Home Services. We have the unique and fulfilling opportunity to be the facilitator of positive relationships between Nannies and families, and we take that role very seriously. Our Nannies are responsible for the most precious members of families — the children.
Families have flexibility of hours with care in your own home. For those times that you are late from work, or require additional time, your Nanny will be there to support you. If your child is ill, and require rest as part of their recovery, having care in your own home is the perfect medicine for them.
One-on-one interactions gives your child a more individualised and personal level of care than that typically experienced in child care centres with the current ratios. By providing child care in your own home, your children are more likely to more secure in their familiar environment.
Our Nannies can attended extracurricular activities such as playgroups, trips to the park etc.
Our Nannies will follow set routines such as meals and rest/sleep requirements, indoor and outdoor play. Prepare nutritious meals and encouraging positive meal time behaviours.
Our Nannies will ensure the environment which the child/ren play in, is free from harm and is safe, secure and nurturing. Provide stimulating and educational play, crafts and other activities.
Our Nannies will act as positive role model for the children, through their mature, sensible and professional manner. They ensure that their personal knowledge and training is kept up to date e.g. first aid and professional development.
If you have a friend or know someone who has a Nanny, why not look at Sharing a Nanny!
