1. Babysitting 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.

2. After School Care

Fun on purpose - routines on track

We help parents with school pick-ups and after-school activities. Through play and routine, we help children build confidence, life skills, and independence.

3. Independent Living

Maintaining respectful independence

We support adults to live safely and comfortably at home through meal prep, light household help, transport to appointments, and companionship.

4. Respite Care

Restorative overnight stay for mum & baby

We offer a home-away-from-home retreat with professional baby care so that you can reset, rest and rejuvenate.

Our Why

55%

Motherhood & Work:

Mothers’ income can drop by 55% in the first five years after having a baby. We create flexible work that values mothers’ skills.

1 in 5

Perinatal Wellbeing:

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.

1 in 7

Children & Families:

Around 1 in 7 children aged 4–17 experience a mental health condition each year. We provide consistent, caring support beyond school hours.

1 in 4

Older Adults:

1 in 4 older Australians report feeling lonely, even though most wish to remain at home. We support connection and independent living.

At Steady Nest, we build the village through practical, responsive care that supports wellbeing and connection. We’re committed to helping change these statistics — one family at a time. Because it takes a village, and every family deserves one.
