What parents are saying.
"NOD feels like having backup. That is all I needed to know it was there."
Sarah M.
Auckland
"Melanie was incredible with our two-year-old. She walked in and within minutes he was completely comfortable with her. Calm, warm, and totally in control — exactly what we needed on a stressful morning."
Rachel K.
Remuera, Auckland
"I was sceptical at first — we've always relied on family for childcare. But with everyone so spread out, that just isn't realistic anymore. NOD has been a genuine lifesaver. Booked within minutes and our nanny was absolutely wonderful with the kids."
Claudia R.
Double Bay, Sydney
"For the first time since becoming a parent, I stopped saying no to opportunities."
James & Priya T.
Auckland
"Living in Wellington with a toddler and a newborn, finding last-minute childcare felt impossible — until NOD. I needed someone at short notice while I had a work call and the nanny who showed up was warm, capable and the kids took to her instantly. Absolute game changer."
Kate M.
Wellington
"Kasey is amazing. My kids absolutely adore her — she had them laughing and playing within two minutes of arriving. She's reliable, engaged, and genuinely loves what she does."
Tanya B.
Ponsonby, Auckland
"Zoe was fantastic with our three-year-old. Calm, engaging and totally at ease from the moment she walked in. We had a dinner reservation and for the first time in ages we actually left the house relaxed. Will 100% be booking again."
Mia F.
Bondi, Sydney
"I recently made my first booking through NOD with Jessica. The experience was beyond what I expected. My baby girl was so comfortable with Jessica she probably didn't realise that I was gone. My worries instantly went away as soon as I met her and I know baby girl is in good hands. Thanks again Jessica!"
Julie
Auckland
"I honestly didn't think a service like this would be available in Hamilton. But here we are! Booked a nanny for a Saturday afternoon so my husband and I could have a few hours to ourselves. It was seamless and our daughter had the best time. So grateful NOD is here."
Brooke T.
Hamilton
"I got part of myself back. I didn't realise how much I'd been running on empty."
Emma L.
Auckland
"Savannah looked after my 10-month-old daughter for two days, during a very stressful time of my husband being hospitalised. We had never used a nanny before and weren't sure how our daughter would go. Savannah was excellent, calm, playful and our daughter loved her. She even helped out with chores around the house. Highly recommend."
Jess
Auckland
"I dropped my toddler at the Grey Lynn PlayPod for a couple of hours, grabbed a coffee nearby and finally got through some work without interruptions. He had the best time playing with other kids and I loved knowing he was being looked after by an experienced nanny."
Sarah M.
Grey Lynn, Auckland
"Seira cared for our newborn and I felt completely at ease leaving the house for the first time since birth. She has this quiet confidence that just puts you at ease. Couldn't recommend her more highly."
Olivia M.
Herne Bay, Auckland
"With 5 little minis it's not easy finding someone to look after them while my partner and I just pop out. After our first trial with NOD we just let out a sigh of relief. We were fortunate enough to have Helene and Junette. Our kids loved them and warmed up towards them very fast."
Victoria T.
Auckland
"My daughter spent the morning at the Sandringham PlayPod while I ran errands, had a quiet coffee and actually ticked things off my list. She came home talking about her new friends and asking when she could go back."
Emma T.
Sandringham, Auckland
"I came back from a two-hour break and was genuinely a better mum. NOD made that possible."
Jess H.
Auckland
"Enna arrived early and quickly set to creating a bond with my kids, who warmed to her very quickly. I could hear them singing and playing and having a lovely time. My three year old is already asking when she is coming back."
Laura P.
Auckland
"Just wanted to say we had such an amazing experience using NOD and Savannah yesterday! Total converts and have told my mother's group all about it and friends too. What an amazing idea!"
Renata
Auckland
"From the minute I jumped on the site and read the profiles there was zero worry — they were so experienced and professional, I had no qualms. Sian was absolutely amazing with Sienna today. I was in a last minute bind that was solved with confidence in ten minutes."
