We are transparent every step of the way for both nannies and families.

Once a match has been created, all the terms are agreed upon between both parties - not us.

We do NOT take a cut from the nanny’s salary at any stage.

• First aid qualified

• CPR qaulifications

• Analyphlaxis training

• Working with Children Check

• Police check

• Previous work experience that would suit your needs

• Reference from previous work experience

Nanny rates in Melbourne typically range from $20-$45 per hour or more depending on experience or specialised care. Happy Nanny will work with you and your nanny to determine a price that suits everyone.

It’s best to update your insurance policy to include your nanny.

Families also need to ensure car seats are installed to meet appropriate safety standards.

For full time nannies we offer a one time fee.

For casual nannies you can subscribe to a monthly fee or a one off fee.

A written agreement is advisable to be organised by the families and agreed by the nannies. An example of what this agreement would entail are:

• Hourly rate and payment cycle

• Notice on schedule changes

• Notice of termination

• How to organise leave

• Responsibilities

Our recommendation is that nannies should be booked for three hours as a minimum shift.

Once the nanny and the child have their rhythm you can discuss what chores your nanny can take on.

We recommend keeping the chores related to childcare-related work (eg. preparing meals, doing their laundry, picking up their toys, unpacking the dishwasher).
