For Families
Finding the right nanny shouldn't feel overwhelming.
Inviting someone into your home is a big decision. It's about far more than qualifications or experience. It's about finding someone you trust, someone your children feel safe with, and someone who naturally fits into the rhythm of your family.
Settling
in
Guidance from introduction through to placement — trials, contracts and the practical details, handled with you.
Finding the right fit
Careful, personal sourcing and screening, with interviews, reference checks and verification done before you ever meet them.
Meeting your matches
A curated shortlist tailored to your family — a small number of genuine matches, not a directory of profiles to sift through.
Getting to know you
A real conversation to understand your family and what you're looking for.
Our Promise
What to expect

A paid trial shift
It lets your children get comfortable and surfaces the practical things only a conversation never does.
Your shortlist
A small, considered shortlist, never a directory. We then coordinate introductions with whoever you would like to meet.
Search and screening
Blue Card, First Aid and CPR, police checks and references are verified before you see a single profile.
Registration
A registration fee begins your personalised search.
It forms part of your overall placement fee.
A complimentary discovery call
A relaxed conversation about your children, your routine and the hours you need. No cost, no obligation.
The Process
How it works

A national check, reviewed as part of our screening.

References
We speak to previous families directly. We don't just read letters.

Reviewed and discussed in person, never taken at face value.
Personal Interview

Consent, Always
Documents are shared only with the carer's permission.
Trusted Security
Our Vetting Process
Three kinds. Nanny placements are ongoing, in-home support from the same experienced carer, week to week. Travel nannies come with your family, within Australia or overseas. Babysitting referrals cover casual support: evenings, weekends, events and one-off bookings. If you are not sure which fits, that is exactly what the discovery call is for.
Placement fees vary with the type of role, the hours required and the level of support involved, so we do not publish a single figure. You will receive clear, detailed pricing after your discovery call, before you commit to anything.
The Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Brisbane. If you are just outside those areas, get in touch anyway, it is worth a conversation.
Yes. ByMeg is a referral and placement service. We introduce, coordinate and support, but your nanny is engaged by you. You will agree hours, duties and pay directly with them.
