Frequently asked questions

FAQs

How does Nurture differ from other nanny agencies/apps?

Nurture has been created by parents, who have extensive experience in the education sector, and are passionate about meeting the needs of families requiring childcare at home. We strive to offer the same level of quality and diligence that exists within the childcare industry, within the flexibility of your own home and schedule, so there are no compromises made for our families.

Our philosophy is Every Child Matters, and our carers are dedicated to this vision, whether attending a one-off, casual booking, or building lasting relationships with children and their families through regular, weekly bookings.

Nurture App brings wonderfully experienced and dedicated caregivers into the family home on a personalised level, individualising the service for each family’s needs – aligning with their routines, culture and everyday demands.

What services does nurture offer?

Nurture offers nannying and babysitting as its core service – whether your care needs are ongoing, casual or once-off. We offer these services for all types of families.

Whether it’s school or daycare pickup bookings on weekdays to fit around your work schedule, or casual jobs for travelling families looking for local carers; you can find any type of job that involves personalised childcare for families. Many of the carers have elevated experience or specialisations, including newborn experience, anaphylaxis training, and NDIS Support Work.

Nurture Nannies are also willing to support families with light housekeeping, running errands, and basic meal prep; when time permits, and it is safe to do so.

Is there a minimum number of hours I can book a carer for?

Our minimum booking is 2 hours in duration. You can book a carer for less than this, however you will be charged for the full two hours in this instance.

What ages do you provide care for?

Nurture carers have a variety of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns up. Each Carer’s profile will identify what ages they have had experience with to ensure you are selecting a carer with aligned experience to your child/ren’s age/s. Nannies have the ability to care for up to 4 children at one time (depending on the ages and abilities of the children).

Can I choose my own nanny?

Of course! Choosing your own carer is what Nurture is made for. We provide you with the details of all the carers in your area who are available to help, including their experience, qualifications and interests, and you select the Carer that suits your family’s needs and preferences.

What are the costs involved?

At Nurture, we empower the carers to set their own rates, taking into account their experience and qualifications, as well as a range of other factors, including the time of day, and day of the week the booking takes place. The hourly rate you see when booking a Nurture Nanny is paid directly to the carer at the end of the booking, and best of all, registration is free! To engage a nanny on the platform, we charge a small subscription fee per month, and you can book your favorite carer casually as needed.

How do I pay my nanny?

You pay your carer directly at the end of your booking. You can choose your preferred method of payment, whether it is cash, bank transfer, or our recommendation of PayID. You do not need to register for PayID to pay your carer via this platform, however the carer does need to set it up.

Can I use Childcare Subsidy (CCS) or NDIS funding to pay for a nanny?

Coming Soon to Nurture…yes, you will be able to use NDIS funding! Please contact us directly in the interim if you require support on this. A number of our carers are NDIS Support Workers. If your individualised plan allows for childcare we can invoice accordingly – whether you are a plan managed participant or self-managed. Please discuss this with your plan manager if you are unsure.

Please note that NDIS rates may differ from Nurture rates. Unfortunately, at this stage CCS does not apply to at-home childcare. Sam, one of our Directors, is passionate about advocating for change on this front and stays connected with government representatives to ensure we are across any changes being discussed in parliament.

How are Nurture Nannies vetted/verified?

We personally approve and publish all Carer’s who join the Nurture Community. To be part of the Nurture Community, Carer’s must have a minimum of 2 years experience working with children, or a formal qualification in Early Childhood Education and Care. In addition, they must hold a current valid WWCC or state equivalent and we qualify this on a regular basis to ensure it’s validity, and no exclusions apply. We conduct reference checks on all carers using advanced technology ensuring only legitimate references are provided.
