How it works

  • We will discuss your family dynamic, needs and desires & understand what your pressure points are to determine fit and complete a family registration.

  • We commence the recruitment process and match your family with a nanny whose experience, values, and personality fit perfectly.

  • We coordinate the interviews on your behalf in your own home and will provide guidance to ensure you are well equipped for your introductions, including interview questions to ask and what to look for in a candidate.

  • We provide candidate feedback and ensure the next steps align with your family’s needs.

  • We will make the offer on your behalf, covering pay, hours, and leave so you secure the perfect nanny. Upon finalising the nanny, we will provide you with onboarding paperwork to ensure a seamless induction, including a letter of offer.

  • With all placements, you are supported by a mandatory membership that is activated either 5 or 30 days into your nanny’s employment.

  • We stay in touch to make sure both your family and the nanny are happy and settling in smoothly. For any payroll support matters, please contact Pay the Nanny. For any nanny placement concerns, please contact Integrated HR.

Nanny roles we recruit

  • If you wish to employ a Nanny on a full-time basis, they work over 30 hours per week. These roles are normally paid a salary including super, and NES entitlements. Full time nannies can vary in experience from ex-corporate professional mothers, career nannies to aspiring professional nannies.

  • We suggest a minimum of 20 hours a week to make the role desirable to the nanny market. Up to 30 hours per week is preferable when working with us at Mini Connections. Typically, the more hours you can provide a nanny, the better the candidate pool you'll have to choose from.

  • House Assistants are employed on a permanent basis with some flexibility. Responsibilities can differ from each family’s needs, although they may include managing a busy and large estate, coordinating trades people, cleaners, nannnies, car detailers, pets, chefs, and drivers, coordinating family travel, attening travel, family birthday parties and or private events, arranging medical appointments, and being on top of the family diary. These roles can include minor nanny duties when the nanny is sick. Candidates typically come from a Personal Assistant background or are nannies that want to evolve in their career.

  • Going on a short-term holiday nationally or internationally? Our travel nannies will go with you on your vacation, assisting with your childcare needs and requirements. Generally, travel nannies will travel anywhere from 2 - 6 weeks with all expenses paid and will have a full itinerary of your holiday schedule. Give us a call today to arrange your travel nanny.

  • Whether you need a short-term nanny for 4 weeks up to 6 months, we have you covered! Mini understands you may need an extra set of hands to help on a contract basis. We have a strong nanny pool of candidates ready to work. All we need is a start and end date. 

  • Whether it's for a few hours during the day or just an evening out, our babysitters are ready to help you with your childcare needs! We understand that you might need someone you can trust for those last-minute plans or regular babysitting duties. Our babysitters are verified, reliable, and will engage your children in fun and educational activities while keeping them safe. Babysitting services are flexible, allowing you to book someone for one-off occasions or recurring appointments. Your minis are in good hands while you take some well-deserved time off!

  • Being an animal lover is essential at Mini, and we help clients in need of trusted pet sitters. Our pet team will love and adore your fur babies as they would with your children, and they will ensure the best care is provided. They will play with them, feed them, take your fur baby on walks, and provide endless cuddles! Generally, pet sitters mind your animal in the comfort of your own home, but they can also provide the care in the sitter’s home, ensuring they have a safe working and comfortable environment. Refer to our pet sitters page for more information.
