Juggle Street is one of Australia’s largest networks of babysitters, nannies and in-home and online tutors. It is the perfect way to search, find and meet local trusted nannies.

Juggle Street is an on-demand job platform, which means you can book immediate help for your child in a few easy steps. All of Juggle Street’s carers have detailed profiles outlining their experience and qualifications. You can use our filters to find nannies who have a driver’s licence, specific language and special needs training. Juggle Street babysitters and nannies are reviewed by other parents on our network which means that their profiles display star ratings and written reviews from other families like you!

Once a parent is ready to find a nanny, they can post a job and outline all of their requirements and complete a weekly schedule. They can then invite a group of Juggle Street nannies to apply for the job.

Job invitations are delivered to nannies via SMS and they can view the job details and apply or decline. The “chat” feature can be used to ask questions and arrange to have an interview or a phone call. Once the parent has chosen their nanny they officially “award” them the job so that both parties have a record of the details.

Finding a great nanny is as much about intuition as it is about qualifications. But whether you are hiring a nanny for a short period or (hopefully) a year to come, here are some questions to help find the right person for your family.

• Interview a few shortlisted nannies thoroughly. Have them come over for a paid interview where you’re in the house while they watch your child. That way you can see them in action and give them any necessary feedback.
• Ask about their childcare qualifications including the age range and number of children they have cared for.
• Discuss any extra duties such a tidying the house and establish whether this is part of their role.
• Ask about their driving record and experience. Discuss car seats and boosters if needed.
• Discuss how long they envisage nannying for and ask about whether they have any travel plans in the future.
• Have a general talk about how they would discipline your children and the expectations around this.
• Check if they have been trained in first aid and CPR.
• Ask under what circumstances they would call 000.
• Discuss what they expect from you as the parent (guidelines, schedules etc).
