Our favourite activities to keep kids entertained during isolation!

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

Why you should choose The Nanny Diary

Why you should choose The Nanny Diary

Nannies have become an increasingly popular option for the busy families who need childcare. It can be a daunting experience when you're faced with choosing the right person who will care for your children, will help them grow and develop, and the person you'll invite into your home each week. Each family is looking for something different in their Nanny, but there are some fundamental values and attributes you'll find consistently amongst those nannies everyone claims are "t

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

Frozen 2, Our Review

Frozen 2, Our Review

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

It's time to share our big news....

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

Our Special Night for Childhood Cancer

Our Special Night for Childhood Cancer

On June 23rd 2018, The Nanny Diary once again held their annual fundraiser for the Childhood Cancer Association. Steaming on from the success of last year, we set out with some big goals for the Gala Dinner this year, including doubling our attendance and doubling the amount raised. We had 220 guests join us for the evening, and together we raised a staggering $26,849.63 for children with cancer. We were thrilled to have major sponsors this year who helped make the evening po

'Twas the Knight Before Christmas

'Twas the Knight Before Christmas

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 Pets Baby

Let's Talk About Pets Baby

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,

The Story Behind Our Gala Dinner

The Story Behind Our Gala Dinner

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

Why choose The Nanny Diary?

Why choose The Nanny Diary?

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

My Life as a Nanny

My Life as a 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

Escape the winter blues - our favourite indoor places for Adelaide kids!

Ahhhh, it's here. In case you haven't noticed, winter is well and truly on its way for Adelaide. It's hard enough to try to and muster up some sort of energy in these dreary, dark conditions. Throw in trying to come up with fun ideas to entertain your children inside all day and we can guarantee when that teeny weeny bit of sun goes down, you have passed out on the couch due to pure and utter fatigue. Never fear mums! The Nanny Diary has compiled a list of all the best in

The Best Family Fun at the Fringe!

The Best Family Fun at the Fringe!

If you haven't checked out Adelaide's Fringe Festival already, get in the car, buckle in the kids and make the trip now! In my honest opinion, it's the best time of year when the Fringe comes to town. Adelaide lights up (literally- the North Tce light show!), there's endless community spirit floating around and people are simply happy (probably due to the endless comedy shows you can see). The Fringe has something for everyone, and here at The Nanny Diary, we've put together
