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.
Placement fees are tailored based on the specific requirements of each role, including the type of placement, hours, days required, level of experience sought, and the complexity of the search. All fees will be confirmed with you before commencing our service.
All fees are inclusive of GST.

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 other relevant screening documentation
- Shortlisting the most suitable candidates and providing resumes with relevant notes and additional details for family review
- Coordinating and scheduling interviews with families and nannies
- Conducting thorough, child-related reference checks before placement
Once you have selected your preferred candidate, we support both parties through the placement process, including a structured two-week probation period to ensure the right fit for both the family and nanny.
We also provide a Nanny/Family Employment Agreement template to assist families in formalising their arrangement. This template is provided as a general guide only, and families should seek independent advice if required.
Ongoing support
Following a successful placement, we remain available to support both families and nannies with any questions or guidance needed during the transition period.
What you can expect
- A clear, structured, and professional recruitment process
- Carefully vetted and relevant candidates
- Time-saving coordination and communication management
- Support from initial consultation through to placement and beyond
- A focus on long-term fit, not just filling a vacancy
Getting started is simple. Following your initial consultation, we will provide a tailored quote based on your family’s requirements. Once you decide to proceed, we will review your Family Application Form, arrange the required deposit, and provide a Client Agreement outlining the terms and conditions before commencing the search.
