Welcome
At Steady Nest, we offer babysitting and family support built around you — because care is personal. We blend heart and research to help every person grow with confidence and connection.
Services
At Steady Nest, we offer three key in-home services — Perinatal Support, After School Care, and Independent Living Support. Our care is responsive and meets people where they are. Where heart and research come together so that everyone thrives.
Perinatal Support
Gentle beginnings, grounded support
We support families with practical babysitting and early-parenting help — from settling and sleep routines to meal prep and light home organisation. Through Chat2Nat, we also provide coaching and counselling to nurture confidence, emotional wellbeing, and healthy development for both parent and child.

Why We Care
Research tells us:
-
In Australia, 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers experience perinatal anxiety or depression, costing the nation $877 million annually (PwC & Gidget Foundation Australia, 2019).
-
Around 1 in 7 children aged 4–17 experience a mental-health condition each year, highlighting the need for consistent, nurturing support beyond school (AIHW, 2022).
-
1 in 4 older Australians report feeling lonely, even though most wish to remain living independently at home (AIHW, 2023).
At Steady Nest, we’re committed to helping change these statistics — one family at a time. It takes a village to raise a child, and we hold that supportive space, like a village would.
