Next up, we're introducing you to the wonderful Caity, who has been with The Nanny Diary for almost 3 years! Caity commenced her office manager role in September 2019, after nannying for the agency since 2017. She steps into the role with a wealth of knowledge and skills, and since starting, has taken everything in her stride! We are very fortunate to have Caity and the energy she brings to the job. She has so many exciting ideas we can't wait to put into motion! We put some

Whether you are working from home, self-isolating or just social distancing, you're probably finding it difficult to come up with new ideas to keep the kids entertained! Setting up and creating activities can be an emotional process. Finding an activity that keeps the kids entertained for more than 3 minutes, uses everyday household items and keeps the house looking (reasonably) clean, is a balancing act that just never seems to balance! That's why we have rallied up our won

Here at The Nanny Diary, we just LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas, and everything that comes with it! We love the songs, the movies, the cooking, the stories, the family time, the presents, the decorations and just the palpable joy in the air. It really is the most magical time of the year! We asked our nannies to share their favourite movies and family traditions, as well as a cute festive photo to get into the spirit! TANEKA DENNIS Favourite movie - The Santa Claus. So many good me

The wait is over! Parents everywhere - rejoice, or commiserate in anticipation of yet another banger like Let it Go getting stuck in your head for the next 10 years. Frozen 2 hit our screens today and its safe to say that we were jumping out of our skin. When I say we, that is myself (25), my younger brother (24) and my brother's girlfriend (23), a bunch of "adults". We pre-purchased our tickets for Titan Luxe at Reading Cinemas in West Lakes (because why the hell wouldn't y

Nope, no one is pregnant! But some big changes have been happening over the last few months at The Nanny Diary HQ! Well, not really our HQ because we're all lucky enough to run this show from our laptops in the comfort of our own homes, or down the beach, or in bed late at night which frequently ends up being the case for most of us! But if we had a HQ it would be awesome - we'd have onsite creche facilities, play Disney songs all day in the office, decorate our walls with br

If you know me you know that Christmas is by far my most favourite time of year! I've always loved it - the lights, the carols, the food, the water fights, the backyard cricket, the champagne and most importantly, spending time with my family. Everyone's Christmas is different, each with their own traditions and quirks, so today I'm going to give you a bit of an insight into what our Knight Christmases look like each year.... Christmas Eve is ALWAYS the same! We cook up fres

Let's talk about you and me.... well more specifically pets and kiddies! As a kid, I had a best friend whom I loved more than anything in the world. From the age of 7 through to 18, my puppy Moby (named after the whale because he was so fat when we got him) was my number one pal. He wasn't the most well behaved puppy, in fact he chewed my favourite pair of flare jeans that were hanging on the line and I don't think I was ever as mad at him than I was in that moment. Actually,

Many people have asked me why I've chosen to hold our upcoming Gala Dinner for The Childhood Cancer Association, so I thought I’d put it all down for you to have a little read. I grew up in an extremely tight-knit, supportive community who are responsible for helping get me to where I am today. Those who grow up in small country towns know how special it is to have so many incredible people around you giving you opportunities and wanting to help in anyway they can to see you

Life is busy. No one can dispute that! It seems to grow increasingly busier and busier every day too. It's no surprise that more families are choosing to hire nannies, and why wouldn't you? The stigma that nannies are only for the elite, upper-class, royalty of society has FINALLY begun to disappear in the last few years. In 2015, we recognised that the demand for a type of service that would provide more than just care for children was high. So begins the story of The Nanny

Being a Nanny is so much more than just your average job. To look at it as a ‘job’ for me is hard to do, because I never imagined a ‘job’ would be something I enjoy so much. From my very first day as a nanny, I knew I had found my passion and where I wanted to be. I believe I’m not alone when I say that everybody’s lives are getting busier, which is why an extra pair of hands to assist in daily routines is a blessing. Not only helping with the kids, but also completing househ
