Welcome to Melbourne Family Hub!

I am a born and bred Melburnian Nanny, Babysitter and Tutor.

I grew up in Kew, the eldest of four children, with a very talented Primary School teaching Mum. I was often described as a bossy sister who always enforced her rules as a second Mum! My tendencies for organisation and planning have given me the reputation as the ‘Mum to all’ amongst friends, especially with my ‘Mary Poppins’ handbag ready for any trip out – perfume, Panadol, band-aids, hair ties, snacks, bobby pins, and pens!

At the age of fourteen, I created my first babysitting advertisement to save up for a student exchange to Japan. I met the Young family, Lucas family, Bennett family, Schuster family, Tsekouras family, Gorman family and many, many more!

From an early age, I knew my real passion was working with people, especially children. I studied a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) at La Trobe University and developed a keen interest in Child Psychology. In 2006, during my studies, I was presented with the unique opportunity to nanny for Professional Golfers on the international golfing circuit. I packed my suitcase, jumped on a plane and began my journey as a travelling nanny. I never picked up a golf club but I took care of children from France, Italy, Ireland, England, Sweden, New Zealand, America, South Africa and Australia along the way.

Life as a travelling nanny couldn’t last forever, so I returned home and discovered that my reputation as a nanny had sky-rocketed in my absence. Within a few days I was fully booked to nanny and tutor for Melbourne-based families. In response to a constant stream of requests from parents, I created Melbourne Family Hub.

As a (now) part-time nanny and the leader of the Melbourne Family Hub team, I look forward to introducing you to welcoming and loving families who are seeking your help.

"Emily was great. I will definitely be in touch next time we are in Melbourne and would highly recommend your services to others. Thanks again for all your help at such short notice and please also pass on our thanks to Emily."

I love working with kids, it is something I am so passionate about, so when one of my friends recommended MFH I immediately contacted Bonnie to see if I could join the team. What I most love about MFH is having the opportunity to babysit for families and meeting lots of fun and friendly little kiddies. The best part of MFH is the communication from Bonnie to the team, keeping us posted daily about new roles and opportunities and the option to reply and advise if you are available for a job or not. It is a great way to earn some extra cash, be part of a great team and meet some amazing families

"Bethan was great, the kids loved her and had a good time. The house was tidy (always a big plus with me) and she was actively engaged with the kids when I got home (planning a treasure hunt)."

I absoloutely love working for Bonnie and the MFH! Bonnie is one of the most friendly, personable and organised people that I know. As a casual babysitter working for Bonnie, I love the flexibility and the amount of reliable work that I am able to do. Every family I have met through the MFH have been really great to work for, many have made me feel like part of the family

My name is Melissa and I have been apart of the MFH team for over 2 years and have enjoyed every moment, especially meeting director Bonnie. I knew immediately that working for Bonnie would be a perfect fit for me as we both strive to give 100% care to the families we work for. Bonnie is professional as well as caring and considerate, to the needs of both her clients & sitters. Meeting amazing families along the way has been so lovely and I have encouraged my fellow nanny & babysitting friends to join Bonnie's team as the families are always lovely & the work is enjoyable. I have no hesitation in recommending families & sitters to join Melbourne Family Hub
