The Benefits of Using a Dedicated Nanny and Babysitting Agency

With online booking sites for nannies and babysitters popping up, sometimes we get asked what are the benefits of using a dedicated nanny and babysitting agency and what makes us different. Honestly, I could do a TED talk on this subject because there’s really no comparison to using a reputable, experienced nanny and babysitting agency such as Little Lovelies to help you find a carer that you can rely on and trust, but I thought I’d share 6 ways in which we provide added value…

1. A personalised approach

We take the time to get to know you and your family and understand your needs. We’ll hold your hand every step of the way – supporting and guiding you through the entire process.

2. Experts in our field

Our staff are experts in their field, with over 25 years of experience in the nanny industry. Plus we’re all mums, so we just get it!

3. Rigorous recruitment process

When it comes to finding a carer for your little darlings, you want the best of the best. That’s why we’ll only ever work with the highest quality, most experienced nannies and babysitters who have been thoroughly background checked, reference checked, and interviewed face-to-face by us. Current Working With Children Check and First Aid certificates are non-negotiable.

4. We do all the hard work for you

We’ll only ever send you nannies and babysitters that have been handpicked by our team and best fit your family and needs.

5. Complete peace of mind

If your carer is sick, we’ll organise a replacement for you. With online platforms, if the carer is sick and unable to attend, you’re on your own and left scrambling for a backup option.

6. Going above and beyond

Of course caring for your little lovelies is our absolute first priority, but during nap times and when time permits, our carers are always happy to help with household tasks such as tidying, meal preparation, children’s laundry or walking the dog. You’ll also arrive home to a daily diary of everything your child got up to with their Lovely Nanny or Babysitter, which we know our parents love.

Our mission is to help raise happy, healthy kids and we do this by connecting parents with Lovely Nannies and Babysitters that love kids and are genuinely invested in their learning and development; Lovely Nannies and Babysitters that feel like family.

If you could use a helping hand, we could love to chat. Simply contact us or Book a Babysitter.

Testimonals

Little Lovelies was absolutely wonderful in helping us find a nanny for our 6 month old twin girls to work with us on a permanent basis. Louise at the agency was a pleasure to work with and was so accommodating of us when our needs changed in the middle of our search. All the candidates were thoughtfully chosen, and we appreciated that the agency was so professional and proactive; from the initial vetting and providing a helpful summary of each candidate with their CV to managing communication and providing helpful resources for our family and nanny. We have had such a positive experience and have no hesitation in recommending Little Lovelies to families and nannies alike.

Easy online booking system and efficient in communication with nanny/babysitter booking. Very happy experience of booking a casual nanny online.

Huai, Melbourne

Very good service, easy to book through their app. They send you a detailed profile of a nanny, you can choose the nanny again for the next booking. We were very satisfied.

Tereza, Melbourne

Jacqui and her team always go above and beyond in their service and professionalism. We could not recommend Little Lovelies high enough, every sitter we have had our 2 boys have loved!

Tain, Brisbane

Very smooth booking experience from start to finish. Prompt communication from the agency and nanny. Tess was lovely – the kids warmed to her instantly and when we got home the toys and kitchen were cleaned, which was a lovely surprise. Will definitely be booking through Little Lovelies if we need a nanny again!

Emily, Brisbane

Little Lovelies was fantastic to work with. We needed a nanny to join our family on a permanent basis. Jodie quickly found a fantastic nanny Daisy to look after our little one. The care taken with vetting the babysitters was really great, and the whole process was seamless. I'd definitely suggest using their services if you are looking for quality care. Neel and Pat.

After our permanent nanny unexpectedly didn't return from her overseas holiday, we were scrambling for a casual nanny to fill in our fluctuating work schedule. Jacqui was accommodating and came back to us with some good options. Sashi was a very experienced and flexible nanny, and the kids (2yo and 3.5yo) were immediately comfortable around her. We're happy customers – will return.

Behny, Sydney

Little Lovelies is fantastic! I have used the service many times and every babysitter and nanny have been excellent. I am always very comfortable leaving my daughter and always impressed at how quickly Jacqui can find someone even with very little notice. A very happy customer.

Cate, Melbourne

We used Little Lovelies while on holiday in Sydney. Our sitter was on time, professional and very caring with our 5 year old. She even cleaned the kitchen, a nice surprise to return home to!

Sara, Melbourne

Little lovelies were brilliant. We had Jana look after our 6 week old and managed to go on a much needed date night as a result. I was petrified to leave our little one for the first time, but having a semi CV in my inbox and having Jana reach out beforehand really helped.
