Why I started Poppy & Pea

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.

About Poppy & Pea

Poppy & Pea is a boutique nanny placement agency designed to bring warmth, reliability, and genuine care into family life. We know that the very best nannies aren’t just experienced and qualified, they love what they do. They get down on the floor to play, share stories, and nurture children with heart.

 

Our role is to make finding the right match simple and stress-free, pairing families with nannies who fit naturally into their home and building trusted relationships that last.

At Poppy & Pea

TAP sets the standard for every nanny we represent. We look for nannies who are trained, take initiative and genuinely love what they do. Because great care goes beyond the basics.

Trained

Every nanny is police checked, holds a valid Working With Children Check, has completed first aid training and has completed a comprehensive interview process. We value nannies who have the knowledge, skills and practical experience to provide quality care. We believe in ongoing learning and creating a strong foundation for every nanny in our community.

Awareness

We believe great nannies are attentive, emotionally aware and responsive to each child's individual needs. We value nannies who take initiative, think ahead and recognise what needs to be done without having to be asked. From anticipating a child's needs to taking responsibility for their environment, awareness means being proactive, thoughtful and one step ahead.

Passion

We look for people who genuinely love working with children and take pride in what they do. This means being engaged, bringing a positive attitude to each day and creating an environment where children feel safe, supported and encouraged to learn and grow.

Our Values

At Poppy & Pea

Our values guide everything we do. We believe in creating a safe space for children, building trust and reliability with families, and bringing warmth, care, and genuine connection into every home.

Safety First

Peace of mind comes first. Every nanny is fully vetted and trained to provide a secure, happy environment for your children.

Love & Connection

Trust & Reliability

We match families with nannies who are consistent, dependable, and truly committed—so you always know your children are in good hands.
