How the Australian Nanny Agency Matches Families with the Right Candidates.
The Australian Nanny Agency works closely with each client to find nannies and household staff who best suit their family's unique needs. As a leading nanny agency in Australia, we take the time to understand your household’s priorities by creating a tailored list of essential skills, qualifications, and experience—as well as desired personal traits, interests, and cultural preferences.
This information is then carefully matched to experienced nannies, governesses, housekeepers, and other domestic staff registered in our exclusive database. Suitable candidates for nanny jobs are invited to apply, and our recruitment team shortlists only the most qualified and compatible applicants for your consideration.
Families are encouraged to interview their top candidates via video call, telephone, or in-person meetings (where location allows). Once a successful match has been made and an offer is accepted, we assist in drafting a comprehensive employment contract—or we’re happy to work with one you provide.
After placement, we continue to support the process by helping with travel arrangements, onboarding, and employment documentation, ensuring a smooth and professional start for both families and candidates.
Our Candidate Screening Process
All of our nannies and household staff register directly with the Australian Nanny Agency. Upon registration, each candidate is personally interviewed by one of our experienced recruitment consultants, ensuring that only the most qualified professionals proceed through our screening process.
We verify every candidate’s work history, check professional references, and confirm the status of their Blue Card or Working With Children Check (WWCC). Candidates must also provide a current police check, along with evidence of at least five years of professional childcare or household experience.
In addition to background checks, each applicant is required to submit their childcare qualifications, certifications, and any relevant training documentation. We only represent nannies, maternity nurses, housekeepers, and other staff who meet our strict criteria—ensuring they are not only experienced, but also trustworthy, capable, and aligned with the standards our clients expect.
