Adrienne W is a Babysitter/In Home Carer/Nanny, with 24 years experience caring for children from any age. Adrienne W is represented by Abracadabra Childcare Services Pty Ltd child care agency.

Please Note:

Au-Pairs (Services Temporarily on hold due to COVID-19 - please contact us for further information/assistance)
Are: Live-in Nannies that offer a weekly allowance that is a subsidised rate to include accommodation, food, rent, utility bills etc.  Au-Pairs are willing to travel Australia Wide so they may not be located in your area, or in the area where your booking/placement is required if looking for a Nanny/Babysitter/In-home Carer.  However, we will endeavour to assist with finding another carer in your area to assist your needs and we would provide you with a full brief on the assigned carer/s.

Nannies/Babysitters/In-home Carers/Before & or After School Care
Are: Live-out carers that charge an hourly rate with a minimum 4 hours per day for one shift, if split shift is required (i.e. Before & After School Care) then a minimum 2 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the afternoon will be required.  The reason these are set minimum hours is because it is very difficult to find carers who are willing to commit to fewer hours therefore meaning less consistency for you and your family.

Please note:

- Our permanent placement fees vary based on the number of days and hours you are offering each week.  For a tailored quote please contact us on 1300 011 167 or email us at abra.childcare@gmail.com

- If Casual bookings are received within 48 business hours of commencement of the assignment or made after hours then the booking fee will be $50 (+GST).  

- If bookings are remote then there maybe an increase in the agency booking fee, please contact the agency for details

- We offer Shared Babysitting/Nannying Services also (if the children are from one, two or three different sets of parents or if there is more than 3 children).  Please contact the agency on 1300 011 167 or email us at abra.childcare@gmail.com for further details (additional fees maybe involved to comply with children to carer/nanny ratio).

Minimum booking is 4 hours.
