Stay Connected to Your Child's Care Journey
Steady Nest uses OWNA, a secure online platform where you can follow your child’s day, receive updates and photos, and stay connected with our team.
Emily Cook
“Returning to work as a mum is one of those huge life moments, and I did it while stepping into a large leadership role as a promotion while my husband is working 7 days a week with our businesses.
Honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better team to have by our side than Nat and her incredible nannies.
To Nat and the entire team, thank you. We’ll always be incredibly grateful for the love, care and support you’ve shown our daughter and our family. I couldn’t recommend them more highly."

Support that holds space, like a Village would...
"Because every family deserves a steady nest to grow, connect, and thrive.
Our Why
Life may move you across cities, sometimes countries — let Steady Nest hold space, like your village would. The numbers below aren't abstract: they're the mothers, children, and older Australians we support every day, because it takes a village, and every family deserves one.
1 in 5
Parents:
In Australia, 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers experience perinatal anxiety or depression. We offer practical, nurturing support in the early weeks and months - alongside any clinical care you may need.
55%
Motherhood & Work:
Mothers’ income can drop by 55% in the first five years after having a baby. We understand that stay-at-home mothers need flexibility and income, so we build shifts around their family needs.
1 in 7
Children:
Around 1 in 7 children aged 4–17 experience a mental health condition each year. We provide nurturing care that helps children build self-esteem, confidence, and a strong sense of who they are.
58%
Over 50s & Work:
58% of job-seekers over 50 report facing age discrimination when looking for work. We help empty nesters share their wisdom and time with younger families, and earn a flexible income.
1 in 4
Older Adults:
1 in 4 older Australians report feeling lonely, whether family have moved away or the nest has emptied. We bring the village to them — outings, companionship, and a shared cuppa at the kitchen table.
