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.

Neel, Sydney

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.
