frequently asked questions

How much do you charge per hour?

Please view this page for all current pricing tiers.

Where does care take place?

In your home. Care starts in your home. From there, we may stay home or venture out to playgrounds, playgroups, excursions and more.

What is In-Home Care?

In-Home Care is care provided in or around your family home. I come to your home and use that as the base for care. From your home, we may venture out on excursions, walks and more. Depending on your needs as a family.

How does transport work?

I will transport children to scheduled activities and events. I am trained and experienced at installing car seat restraints. And my vehicle is regularly serviced and kept road worthy.

My car is fully equipped above and beyond the legal safety standard with 2 rear/forward facing car seat restraints for up to approximately age 4, 1 rear/foward facing car seat restraint for up to approximately ages 6/7, and two built in booster seats. I recommend travel with a newborn/infant up to 5/6months old to be in a capsule (which we do not provide).

I can transport your little ones in my vehicle from age 3 months and above; unless you provide a capsule for transport. I can transport up to 3-5 children in my vehicle where appropriate seating arrangements are provided.

Do you provide In-Home Care Rebate?

We do not. Unfortunately, due to a lot of red tape our services are unable to access the government funded childcare rebate for our families.

Nanny or Babysitter? What is the difference?

A babysitter supervises children, usually for short periods, such as a few hours in the evening – often the children are in bed for a considerable amount of the time spent babysitting or very little is expected of the babysitter.

A professional nanny is usually a trained and experienced child carer. A nanny takes responsibility for the daily needs of the child or children in their care. This includes planning daily activities, preparing meals, and helping the children with care routines such as bathing.

What’s the difference between a nanny and a housekeeper?

Nannies look after children, housekeepers look after houses. Whilst a nanny will keep the work and children’s area tidy, clean up after preparing meals for the children, and do odd cleaning jobs here and there to support you; it is not a nanny’s role to do general housework.
