Breaking news!

We have been asking our dedicated work team — our in-home child carers, a.k.a. our nannies — what they're looking for in an agency and from a family. 

Nanny Applicants Wanting work ?

Firstly, we take care and support you. By that we mean we treat you with respect as a professional career nanny and pay you legally and well.

Why we sometimes have to say ‘no’

We get a lot of phone calls, with a lot of requests for help.And given that our reason for existence is to provide care to families, and in particular children, we’d love to be able to say an enthusiastic ‘Yes!’  to every request

When we say we provide a premium-level service, we mean it

Occasionally we’ll get to the point of talking fees with a prospective clientand find ourselves confronting a comment along the lines of, ‘You’re a bit more expensive than some of the others.“When this happens, we have no choice but to agree.

Nannies in Sydney? It’s true. While Placement Solutions has been dedicated to providing nannies to Melbourne families for over 34  years, over the last three  years we’ve taken steps to offer a similar service in Sydney.

Referrals- why not use them?

Word of mouth or referrals for Nanny jobs is one of the most underused resources an applicant has, however, used correctly can maximise your opportunities greatly. 

Housekeeper/ Household Manager

Do you need more help at home than you are getting? Help, not with the kids, but with the day-to-day running of the house and the home? You may need a permanent part-time or full-time housekeeper.
