Where it all began

About NannyMcMelly

NannyMcMelly is a boutique Melbourne-based nanny placement agency dedicated to connecting families with professional, reliable and carefully vetted caregivers.

Founded by Melissa Broxham after more than a decade of hands-on experience working within private homes, NannyMcMelly was created to provide families with a more personalised and considered approach to childcare recruitment. Through her experience, Melissa recognised that successful placements are built on alignment — not simply availability.

We understand that inviting someone into your home is a significant decision. Our approach is structured, discreet and detail-oriented, ensuring each placement reflects the unique needs, values and routines of the family.

Our Services

NannyMcMelly specialises in:

  • Permanent full-time and part-time nanny placements
  • After-school care and school pick-up support
  • Casual and ongoing babysitting
  • Household support and light home organisation
  • Backup nanny solutions (where required)

Each candidate undergoes a thorough screening process, including interviews, reference checks, Working With Children Check verification and confirmation of relevant qualifications. We prioritise professionalism, safety and long-term compatibility in every introduction.

As a founder-led agency, every enquiry and placement is personally managed with care and accountability. We pride ourselves on maintaining clear communication, high standards and a boutique level of service throughout the process.

At NannyMcMelly, we don’t simply fill roles — we build trusted, lasting relationships that support the smooth running of family life.
