Poppy & Pea is a boutique nanny placement agency created to bring a little extra warmth, reliability, and enthusiasm into family life. We know that the very best nannies aren’t just qualified and experienced, they genuinely enjoy spending time with children, whether it’s playing, reading, or caring with heart. Our role is to make those connections easy, pairing families with nannies who feel like the perfect fit and creating trusted relationships that last. For us, it’s not just about filling a role, but about finding the right person to become a natural extension of your family.
Trusted nannies, matched to your needs.

At Poppy & Pea, every nanny we place has a verified Working With Children Check and up-to-date CPR certification because safety and peace of mind come first. But we go beyond the
basics. Our selection process is carefully curated to find nannies who bring not only experience and professionalism, but also a genuine passion for caring for children.
We take the time to get to know our nannies, the ones who light up while reading a story, who happily join in play, and who bring patience, compassion, and empathy into every moment. It’s that true love for what they do that makes our nannies such a natural fit. When we place someone in your home, it doesn’t just feel like childcare it feels like family.
I started Poppy & Pea after nearly seven years of working as a nanny myself. During that time, I saw first-hand how difficult it can be for families to find reliable, kind, and enthusiastic nannies who are not only competent but genuinely love what they do.
I also spent over a year working in an Early Childhood Education centre while continuing to nanny, which gave me valuable experience in a classroom setting. But I realised that what I truly love is combining what I learned in the classroom with one-on-one care for children and building real, meaningful relationships with families.
I also experienced how challenging it can be as a nanny to connect with the right families on your own. With Poppy & Pea, our goal is to bridge that gap bringing together wonderful nannies and beautiful families to create trusted, lasting connections.
