BEYOND ONGOING NANNY PLACEMENT

Childcare & household care enquiries.

Families are welcome to ask about babysitting, non-medical in-home childcare, family assistants, household managers or pet sitting. Cove's focus remains ongoing nanny recruitment. Other requests are assessed individually and aren't guaranteed placements.

A RECRUITMENT SERVICE, NOT AN EMPLOYER

Clear roles.
Considered introductions.

Cove recruits and introduces nannies for families to engage directly. Families remain responsible for the employment relationship, including lawful wages, superannuation and other applicable obligations.

Our recruitment proposal sets out the service scope, stages, total fees and payment terms in writing before the search begins. We never present an estimate as a guaranteed final charge.
