Share A Nanny

Each family is required to complete our Family Registration Form. By completing this form, South Coast Nannies will gain a greater understanding of the type of person who would work well with and match your family. We will discuss the position with both parties and send each family an invoice for the Registration Fee of $75.

Be clear on the arrangements to determine the hours of care required to facilitate the needs of both families. Nanny Share families should collaborate their parenting styles to assist the Nanny with providing continuity of care within the Nanny Share learning environment.

The Hourly Rate for Placements ranges from $25 to $30 an hour. The hourly rate for the Nanny is divided between the families using the service. This rate depends on your budget, the Nanny’s experience, the ages of the children and the requirements of the position.

All our Nannies have more than two years experience working within the profession and have qualifications in either Child Care, Teaching or Nursing. They value the importance of children’s safety, happiness and well-being.

When using our Agency, families can be confident that they will only be introduced to dedicated, local and screened Nannies who have had face-to-face interviews, are checked through the Commission of Children and Young People (Working with Children Check), hold current First Aid Qualifications and are personally interviewed and referenced checked by our Agency for their suitability to represent South Coast Nannies.

Individual Nanny Profiles will be sent via email. This is our way of introducing families and children to the Nanny’s qualifications, experience as a professional childcare worker and most importantly, a Photo to put a face to the name.

At this time, the $75 Registration fee is due.

Our Agency provides a unique approach to supporting individuals, families and organisations through the provision of quality care. We support families when engaging a Nanny; provide Nanny Interview Questions, Sample Contracts, Hints and Tips for their first day and other relevant information.

When you have made your selection from the Nanny Profiles, we will notify the Nanny directly and provide them with a description of the position and  your contact details to arrange an interview time convenient for all. As part of our ‘Confidentiality Policy’, the address details are not included in the brief to the Nanny as you may hold the first interview offsite and the second interview in your home with the children.

The Nanny you have selected will call to introduce herself, discuss the position and arrange an interview time.

Once the interview has taken place, our Agency will undertake a follow up call to all parties to determine how to proceed. If you would like to continue searching other candidates, we will clarify the requirements and begin another search.
