Our Services + Pricing
Some families prefer to hire a nanny themselves but don’t have the time or the resources to commit to what is a very consuming task.
Our team at the Nanny Collective can take care of the entire recruitment process for you.
Transparent Pricing, Tailored to Your Family
At The Nanny Collective, we believe finding the right nanny should feel simple, supported, and stress-free. Our pricing is clear, flexible, and designed around the level of care and support each family truly needs. Every family is different, so our structure reflects that, whether you need short-term help, casual care, or a long-term placement.

Our Comprehensive Permanent Nanny Service
Our permanent nanny placement service is a fully managed recruitment process designed to take the pressure off families while ensuring a precise and thoughtful match.
We take care of every stage, from understanding your needs through to successful placement and post-placement support.
How we work
We begin by taking time to understand your family in detail, including your routine, expectations, and the specific qualities you are looking for in a nanny. From there, we create a tailored job brief and advertise the role across our trusted networks, including our candidate database, job boards, website, and social media platforms.
All candidates are carefully pre-screened before being presented to you. This includes reviewing experience, qualifications, suitability, and alignment with your requirements.
We then manage the entire selection process on your behalf, including:
- Advertising and sourcing suitable candidates
- Pre-screening and interviewing applicants
- Verifying Working With Children Checks, First Aid certification and Police Check
- Conducting thorough, child-related reference checks
- Shortlisting the most suitable candidates
- Coordinating and scheduling interviews with families and nannies
Once you have selected your preferred candidate, we support both parties through the placement process, including a structured 2-week trial or probation period to ensure the right fit.
We also provide a professionally prepared nanny employment agreement template to assist with formalising the arrangement.
Ongoing support
Our involvement does not end at placement. We continue to provide guidance and support to both families and nannies to help ensure a smooth and successful transition into the role.
