How much is it to hire a nanny with you?
Our rates start at $45ph.
All enquiries are individually priced, with enquiries usually given a set quote with additional hours at an hourly rate- unless stated in our emailed quote.
Many factors are taken into consideration when quoting- number of children and their ages, the location and on the job requests.

We don’t have set prices or packages to allow for more flexibility in our services.

Will we get to meet our nanny before the wedding day?
In most cases, yes. However, you will need to inform us and book in a home visit/meet and greet. The nanny assigned to your booking will discuss this with you directly.
Meet and greets are $45ph, with a 2hr minimum and payable directly to your nanny.

Do we have to provide a vendor meal or other food for the nanny?
For all wedding bookings 5hrs and over, a vendor meal (at minimum) is required to be provided for your nanny. If the booking is in accommodation or off site we will discuss options with you.
Generally, all other food and beverages will be taken care of by your nanny.

Do you transport the children?
Yes, we can transport children to and from venues- in your car or ours.
This must be discussed and booked prior to the day as not all of our nannies can offer this service.

Do we have to provide a car for you to transport the children in?
Short answer, no. All of our nannies, unless stated, have clean, fully insured, safe cars for transportation. However with car seat configuration and availability, it could work better to use your own. Please discuss this in the booking process.

Do you have car seats for the children, in your own cars?
Some of our nannies have car seats. They are within their manufacturing date, are clean and well maintained. Please ensure you discuss this in the booking process, to make sure the nanny has the correct car seat available, in line with the state road laws.

Are there additional costs?
Car seat hire is $10per car seat.
KMs driven during the booking are charged at the ATO rate of .88c p/km (2024/25 rate).
Additional activity set ups are quoted per job.
Flower girl hair styling is quoted per job.
Any other costs will be discussed with the client directly.

Can you do the flower girls hair?
Yes! We can do your little ladies' hair for them in braids, pig tails, curled or pinned back.
If you would like to add this service, please discuss this when booking and add in any photos you have for ideas. Our nannies need to come prepared.

How do you keep the children calm, happy and entertained during the ceremony?
Kids can be unpredictable. Sometimes they’re quite happy to snuggle into a grandparents cuddle, or aunties embrace. When they’re not though, we can swiftly come and get them, all you have to do is give us the nod (your nanny will discuss this with you further). We will find a quieter space, where they can stretch their legs, chase bubbles or play with a few toys. Then bring them back at the end of the ceremony, for photos, dinner or to say goodnight for the evening (all details will be discussed in the lead up to the wedding day).

Do you provide care at different cultural and religious weddings/ceremonies?
Yes. We offer care for all cultural and religious ceremonies. Please include this detail in the booking, to ensure the nanny is dressed appropriately and respectfully, to reflect your customs.

Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?
Absolutely. We are delighted to offer service to all family dynamics and couples.

What does the nanny wear?
Our nannies will be well presented, in comfortable clothing. Our aim is to blend in on the day, following your wedding or religious dress code.

Do you care for the children onsite at the reception venue?
Yes. Our nannies are very familiar with many wedding venues across Victoria, we can provide care onsite.
When thinking about booking a nanny and the space where the children will retire to, sleep, have a quiet space etc, please discuss this with the venue. Not all venues have suitable quiet rooms for children to sleep, if accommodation isn’t on the venue's property. If you’re unsure about this, please also discuss this with us as we are able to help guide you with what is a suitable space.

Where do the children sleep at the reception venue?
This will vary depending on the venue. This is something we will discuss with you, if the child/ren isn’t going back to accommodation.
Sometimes it’s a ‘VIP room’ or the bridal suite too. Some venues have designated rooms especially for the bridal party to use and others don’t (we’ve even had little ones go to sleep in the chapel adjacent to the reception room)

How many children can you care for at one time?
This is a case by case basis with many factors-
The age and number of children, the safety of the nanny and children in an emergency situation, child-care ratios for larger groups of children and the space on offer from the venue.

In most cases, to ensure best practice and professional care, we will request two nannies for four or more children, age dependent.

Can we have multiple families in one booking?
Yes, we can have multiple families in one booking. Please detail this in the booking form.

Do you set up activity zones or spaces for the children to play at the reception?
Yes, we can set up small activity zones for the children.

Do you provide toys and items for the children to play with before the ceremony, or at accommodation?
Yes, our wonderful team all have a nanny bag with a few items they bring to all bookings to keep little ones entertained or distracted when required. Bubbles, cars, books, dollies are some of what we are offer. If you are looking for more of an activity set up, please detail this in your enquiry so we can appropriately quote.

Do you prepare food or bottles for the children?
Yes! All of your child’s needs and routines will be taken care of.
Some venues can be tricky to heat bottles and baby foods, we have ways around this and can suggest best ways to prepare before the wedding too.

What do you do when the children go to sleep and there’s only one room (like in a hotel)?
These hotel and reception rooms can be tricky to manage and not always very comfortable for our nannies. Generally we sit quietly with our air-pods in, listening to or watching something on one of our devices.
However, we know it’s part of the job and bring items to keep us entertained in dimly lit spaces. That way too, we’re there the moment a child might wake up, to soothe them back to sleep, or attend to their other needs.

Where are your main servicing areas?
We are based in Melbourne, with nannies available across Victoria (and border towns such as Moama)- The Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Phillip Island, Dandenong Ranges, Macedon Ranges, Nagambie, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Gippsland and beyond.

From Spring 2025 we hope to be offering our services in South East Queensland.

Do you service outside of Victoria?
We are open to discussing this!
Our nanny network is wide, and we may have the perfect nanny for you available in Sydney, regional NSW, Darwin, Perth, Adelaide and all of Tasmania.
We have nannies available in Brisbane and the Gold Coast too.

Do you have qualifications?
Our nannies all have extensive experience, with varying qualifications. As there is no nanny qualification, most of our nannies have studied early childhood, nursing or are certified Doula’s, some have been swim teachers, dance teachers, gymnastics coaches, some of our nannies are mums themselves. We are very proud to offer top quality nannies to our clients with a wide range of experience.
All of our nannies have their WWCC, First Aid & CPR and minimum 2 checked references.
We are happy to provide you with these checks too.

All of our nannies are mentored and trained to work at weddings by owner and founder Joey, along with other team members who have extensive experience working at weddings.

Do you have a booking fee?
Yes. We have a $100 Booking Fee for single day bookings and $150 for multiday bookings (not including a meet and greet/home visit- which is included in your booking fee)
The Booking Fee is required to secure your nanny booking, cover insurance (Stella Brokers) and the administrative processes involved.
The booking fee is reduced if you choose book through us again.

How do I book and pay?
After your initial enquiry, Joey checks in with the team to see who is available.
Once a suitable nannies availability is confirmed, you will be sent a quote and time frame that your booking enquiry is being held for- nannies block that date out for you whilst you make a decision.
Our aim is match the most suitable, local nanny to your booking. If a local nanny is not available, there will be a travel fee included in the quote supplied.

If the wedding is some time away (eg six months or more) you will be given a period of time the quote is valid for instead- as our nannies often do not know their availability that far in advance. Having a team of 15+ nannies and a large network means it is rare that we cannot find a suitable nanny for the bookings.

If you accept the quote, we will send you the The Booking Fee invoice, Family Information Form and Bridal Bliss Nannies Contract. The invoice and contract must be signed to secure your booking by the due date.
Information about how to pay your nanny will also be in this email.

How do I join the team as a nanny?
Please send us an application form, which can be found under the ‘Nannies’ tab.
This also details the requirements to be considered when we review your application.
