Personalised Support. Peace of Mind.

As mums ourselves, we understand how challenging it can be to find care that truly fits your family. Many parents feel they can’t return to work because daycare hours don’t align with their schedule, school or kinder drop-offs and pick-ups are tricky, or siblings have different needs. This is where a nanny — or even a mother’s helper — can make all the difference.

Unlike daycare, a nanny offers individualised, flexible care in your own home. Your children receive one-on-one attention in a familiar environment, routines are maintained, the home stays organised, and life runs more smoothly for everyone. Whether it’s full-day support, before & after-school care, or just a few hours to get things done, our nannies become trusted, reliable extensions of your family.

Many parents have given up on date nights or adult time with friends because finding reliable care can be so difficult. Let us introduce you to a wonderful nanny you can call on whenever you need — someone dependable, caring, and trusted by your family.

Need overnight help so you can catch up on sleep, enjoy a child-free getaway, or have a night out for a special event without having to wake up early? We offer newborn and baby support, as well as overnight care for your children, to give you peace of mind and a well-deserved break.

Our nannies care for children in your home, at your accomodation or at events.

We also offer specialised support for children with additional needs, as well as care for special events such as weddings, corporate functions, support groups and training sessions. 

With Geelong Nannies, you’re not just booking care — you’re gaining support, flexibility, and peace of mind.

We offer a variety of nanny services for families in the Greater Geelong Region, the Bellarine Peninsula, the Surf Coast, Wyndham, Colac and all surrounding suburbs.

What Services Does A Nanny Provide?

Our caregivers step in where you leave off — offering love, care, nurturing, support, and kindness. They handle all child-related duties with a strong focus on your child’s development, wellbeing, and daily routine. From educational play and age-appropriate activities to helping with homework, our nannies create a supportive and engaging environment. They can drive children to and from school, kinder, activities, and appointments. They’ll also prepare and serve meals, tidy the kitchen (including dishes), and assist with light household tasks such as laundry, errands, and shopping — always keeping your child’s needs as the top priority. Nannies can help with bath time, getting children ready for bed, and settling them to sleep. Any household duties are only carried out when your child is napping or happily playing within sight.

Screened And Certified Caregivers

All of our carers must have the following to work in our agency:

Police check
Working with children check
First aid training
Minimum of 2 years experience

Our comprehensive onboarding process includes a face-to-face interview, reference checks, and induction training. We only select candidates we would trust with our own children.

🌱 Support for Life Skills, Routines & Emotional Regulation

Some children need a little extra support — and some families do too.

We offer Specialised Support Bookings for children with ADHD, ASD, or other additional needs. Our nannies bring the patience, understanding, and experience required to support children with:

• Daily routines (e.g., getting ready for school)

• Managing big emotions

• Building independence and life skills

These bookings are carefully matched to your child’s personality, needs, and goals. These bookings are charged at a higher hourly rate depending on the level and complexity of care required. Please contact us for a personalised quote. Please note: Due to the nature of our work, we are unable to place a nanny in homes with violent, aggressive, or abusive behaviours. In these instances, a qualified disability support worker may be a more suitable fit.

Professional, personalised service:
We’re dedicated to providing you with wonderful nannies and babysitters who meet your family’s unique needs.

Peace of mind:
All our caregivers are thoroughly screened and vetted before you meet them, with valid and up-to-date checks and certificates. Geelong Nannies also holds a full public liability insurance policy, covering both our team and clients up to $10,000,000 for any accidental property damage or medical expenses related to unforeseen injury. More details are included in your introduction pack.

Ongoing support:
If you ever have an issue with your nanny and feel uncomfortable addressing it directly, we’re here to help as a mediator. Should the situation not be resolved, we will promptly find you a new nanny — no hesitation, no hassle.

Reliable replacements:
One of the many benefits of being part of the Geelong Nannies family is our ability to find a replacement nanny if your regular nanny is sick or needs a personal day. Even at short notice*, we do our best to ensure you’re covered — so you don’t have to miss work or rely on last-minute arrangements.

*Short notice availability depends on current nanny schedules and availability.

Unfortunately, most families cannot claim government rebates for in-home nanny care unless they meet very strict eligibility criteria. If your family does qualify, you will need to work with a registered provider agency to access those rebates.
