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.

"Melissa is delightful. The kids really like her and look forward to her babysitting them. Thanks for your help Bonnie."

Bonnie is always so clear in her communication both individually and as a team. I love that jobs are communicated on a daily basis and if you have the availability you can opt in to work. I love that each family and the babysitter always get a copy of the terms and conditions of the booking along with the babysitter’s video message. It has been relayed to me on more than one occasion by the parents that they love watching the video messages and showing the kids so their family are comfortable before meeting their babysitter

Working with Bonnie is a delight.  Communication is always clear and prompt and I’m never left wondering where I should be or when.  Bonnie spends time developing great relationships with all the MFH families, which is why they continue to request MFH babysitters.

"The boys absolutely love Jacquie - as do I! She's thoughtful, courteous and fun. We would have Jacqui back anytime. Thank you."

"Anna was fantastic with my daughter on Monday. She finds it difficult to separate from me and Anna was able to keep her calm until I got home. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that Anna had washed my dishes! Thanks for yet again, sending such a lovely carer to look after our daughter."
