The Carellective is a Boutique Babysitting Business based in Melbourne, offering luxury care with heart to families who value warmth, reliability, and exceptional service. Our mission is to transform the lives of busy parents by providing dedicated, dependable, and personalised support across a range of tailored services. We’re more than just a helping hand — we’re an extension of your family, here to simplify daily life and enrich your most meaningful moments. We are proud to be the first and only business in Australia with an exceptionally curated and qualified team — made up not only of beautiful, experienced nannies but also professionals across multiple child-related industries. Our team includes primary school teachers, registered nurses, support workers, swim school coaches, soccer coaches, and university students pursuing careers in similar fields. Each member brings unique skills, creativity, and expertise, yet we’re all bound by the same shared love and passion for children. Together, we’ve created a close-knit collective that feels more like a family than a work team — dedicated to delivering care that’s as personal as it is professional. At Carellective, we believe true support goes beyond childcare. We’re a complete package of care, devoted to our Big 3 — Children, Parents, and Home Care. From creating safe and joyful spaces for kids, to giving parents peace of mind, and helping restore harmony within homes, we do it all with love. Our Home Care includes organising, tidying, and refreshing spaces that need a little extra love and attention — so every family can enjoy a calmer, more balanced life. With care at the centre of everything we do, we’re proud to make a lasting, positive impact on the families we support.
Our nannying and babysitting services redefine caregiving with a unique, everything-nanny approach. We provide tailored care that aligns with your family’s routines, values and needs, creating a nurturing environment where children can thrive while giving parents peace of mind.
For families planning events, we offer event assistance for every occasion, from weddings and corporate functions to birthdays and private gatherings. Our team handles everything, from engaging children’s entertainment to catering to a seamless coordination for adult-focused events, ensuring every celebration is stress-free and memorable.
We also bring order and ease to your home with personal assistance and home organisation services. Whether it’s decluttering, managing errands or creating systems to simplify daily routines, we help you reclaim your time and space, making life smoother and more enjoyable.

Joana is amazing - I literally dumped 2 quite unco-operative and tired 7yr olds on her for 6 hrs and came back to huge smiles and a “10/10” for the day of fun they’d had. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Joana and her team to any family needing childcare.

We had such a great experience with The Care Collective. Our babysitter was amazing with the kids and made us feel totally comfortable heading out for the night. What really stood out was how our nanny stayed late and even tidied up the house once the kids were asleep. Coming home to happy kids and a clean place after a night out with my wife was something we really appreciated. They definitely went above and beyond, and we recommend them to all of our friends

Joanna and Larissa are wonderful care providers for our 3 young boys. They are reliable, trustworthy and our home is always cleaner than when we left. They are great helpers for any family or group events, minding large groups of kids, as well as setup and clear up. We love what they have brought to our family and all our friends. Highly recommend The Care Collective Australia. They’re wonderful.
