Candidate Notes
“I love working with children and being part of a family’s life. In my last role I cared for a newborn through to four years old, while also helping the older sibling with school. I enjoy cooking, keeping the home organised, and supporting parents in any way I can. I am happy to work long hours when needed, as I take pride in being of service to the family. For me, nannying is not just a job — it’s about becoming part of the household and making life easier for parents while providing children with love, stability, and care.”

Georges Hall - Agency 2025
Reference for Sadie – Australian Nanny Agency
4th Sept 2025
We had the pleasure of working with Sadie during a last-minute emergency situation where her support was absolutely invaluable. With only one hour’s notice, Sadie left her home within 30 minutes of our request and travelled two and a half hours by public transport to reach our client in Georges Hall after their regular nanny was unable to attend.
Throughout the day, Sadie kept in contact with us, confirming she was safe on her journey and updating us as she approached the family’s home. Upon arrival, the client had nothing but praise for her professionalism, warmth, and capability. In fact, they expressed their wish to have Sadie work with them on an ongoing basis, though unfortunately her availability did not align with their needs at the time.
Sadie herself spoke very highly of the client and was happy to support them in the future if circumstances allowed. The effort she demonstrated was truly above and beyond what is expected, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
We wish Sadie every success in her future endeavours. Should you wish to discuss her work further, please feel free to contact us at the Australian Nanny Agency.
