Services
At Steady Nest, we offer in-home support across all ages and stages — from newborn and child care to adult and senior wellbeing. Our care is responsive and research-informed, where heart and evidence come together so 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 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.
