In Home Services

Flexible care which supports families’ workforce participation and child care requirements inside the children’s own home environment.

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.

The Important Details

Are you engaging a Nanny as an Employee or Independent Contractor ?

Nannies are engaged as either an ‘independent contractor’ who run their own service and negotiate their own fees or as an ’employee’ of the family. It depends on which arrangement works best for you.

You need to comply with the Australian Taxation Office, Fair Work and SafeWork guidelines. This is a standard and straight forward process, and in practice is not as difficult as it may seem. Read more on your obligations before engaging a Nanny into your home.

How do Parents Verify Working with Children Checks ?

If you hire a sole trader to work with your children, you may need to verify their Working with Children Check details to make sure they’re cleared to work with children. Sole traders include people like nannies, tutors and coaches who do not belong to a larger organisation.

Don’t worry, it’s easy to check the Check online.
