‘Crisis averted ! Sue came to the rescue.
Only hours before 4 weeks of international holiday our nanny fell ill and Mini Major found came to the rescue and found us the perfect nanny. I dont know what we would have done if it was not for Sue.’
Wil Bailey – 2011
‘When I contacted Sue at Mini Majer to find me a part time Nanny, I had never used a Nanny before and although I really needed some help, I was very nervous about trying to trust someone to pick my children up from school and bring them home safely. Sue put my mind at ease right away and assured me she would find the right person for our family. In no time, Sue did find our Nanny and she is wonderful. The children just adore her and she has changed our lives for the better. I can now spend more time in the office, which means when I finish for the day I can spend quality time with the children instead of trying
to catch up on work at night. Thanks so much Sue.’
Cindy – Mother of 2 – 2011
‘We were very impressed with Sue’s efficiency in obtaining for us the specific type of help we required. We were also very reassured with the thorough vetting process of each potential nanny. We have already recommended Sue and the Mini Majer service to our friends and colleagues.’
Dr Saira Hussain – Mother of 2 – 2011
“I really appreciate the high level of service and support that I received from Suzie and Elle at Mini Majer. Both understood my concerns, my personal preferences and were able to provide not only great candidates for my consideration but recommendations and options about things I had not even considered – I am a first time mum and that level of support in choosing a nanny for my beautiful boy was priceless.
Both Elle and Suzie worked really hard to find someone who was perfect for our family and they did a tremendous job. Our nanny is fantastic!”
Christy Miller – First time Mum
Mini Majer got me out of a bind twice. Once for a casual one-off nanny, and again for a part-time nanny. One phone call each time, and 10 minutes later I had a contact, who each time has been not just perfect, but wonderful. No running around, just a great service, and for someone like me who is time-poor, peace of mind that my kids are in great hands. So much better than the other services I tried when I first started looking for a nanny. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Dr Katie Taylor – Mum of 2
“As a first time mum with no support network and baby Jayden diagnosed with reflux, we needed help FAST! Through a close friend, we were referred to a mothercraft nurse who suggested we give mini majer a call. mini majer was able to find us a couple of prospective nannies within 2 days and the girls started the following week. We have found the service to be exceptional with Elle providing a personal touch – always caring and never intrusive. Having Tanis, our mothercraft nurse and mini majer introduced into our lives has been a blessing.”
Sandra Chan – First time Mum
“I have used mini majer for several years now organising full-time nannies for a busy 5 children household. I have always found the service and calibre of nannies to be of the highest standard and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Suzie and her team.”
Tonya Pettis
“I was very nervous and reluctant to find a nanny for my 6 week old baby girl. However I needed someone I could trust to look after Saskia so I was able to monitor my business. Being a new mum who was head over heals in love with just being with my baby the last thing I wanted to do was go into work and miss all her developments. My experience with mini majer created confidence. Susie was very reassuring and managed to find the perfect person for the role. I now have a nanny that includes me in all that happens in Saskia’s day when I am not around by leaving a written diary of the days events. I do not hesitate in recommending Susie and her team.”
Susan Schmidt – First time Mum
“Having employed nannies from 3 other agencies over the past 6 years, I can confidently say, that I wish I had found mini majer sooner. mini majer staff met with me in person, to understand my family’s needs and expectations and to ensure the nannies they presented would fit seamlessly into our household. It was clear during my interview with the candidates, that each had been fully briefed by mini majer on our family, duties, hours of work, and pay range, which saved us all time and avoided surprises. Within a short timeframe, we had 2 outstanding candidates who were genuinely interested in the job and loved children. Kate, the nanny we chose, was far beyond our expectations. Despite our busy lives, she brought calm and efficiency into our household and most of all, the children adored her and blossomed in her presence.”
Jane Schmitt LL.B, LL.M
Chief Executive Officer
AMA Queensland
“As a first time mother I was completely daunted by the prospect of finding the right nanny for my 3 month old little boy. On recommendation I made mini majer my first port of call. The team really listened to what I needed in a nanny, not just in the sense of duties required but in understanding what sort of personality I was looking for to best meet the needs of my family. I felt quite apprehensive and unsure of myself in finding the right person and so put a lot of trust in Suzie and her team. The advice, guidance and encouragement I received from mini majer was invaluable and as a result I found the perfect nanny within a few days. I could not be happier. Utilising mini majer’s services turned what I was sure was going to be a nightmare of a process into an absolute dream! Thank you.”
Dr Sally Johnstone
“Having previously dealt with other agencies and been disappointed, I was eager to try a new approach. From the first conversation, the professionalism and efficiency of mini majer was apparent. I was most impressed by their desire to personally visit us and take the time to understand our family’s requirements. They found us a fantastic nanny extremely efficiently and really tailored the process to ensure the nanny would fit into our family dynamics.After only one week, our nanny already feels like part of the family and I feel really comfortable leaving my son and going to work. During the whole process Suzie was great, regularly ringing me and providing me information to make the process easier. A wonderful service, with a huge amount of compassion, in an area highly emotive for mums!”
Mrs Lata Harasty – Mum of 1
“With two boys under 3 ½ & another baby on the way I started to wonder how I would cope & my husband encouraged me to contact mini majer. Tracey was amazing & found me a wonderful Nanny who comes to help me 2 days per week & it has changed my life. My baby girl is nearly a month old & to have a chance to get the house organized & get out and about to do some jobs while Kim looks after my children is wonderful. Having a new baby means you are at home most of the time – to have someone to entertain my boys & take the guilt I feel away because I cannot do what I used to be able to do with them means so much. For example last week Kim made cars out of boxes & paper plates & they loved it!!! Thankyou to mini majer for making this very busy time in my life much more enjoyable & manageable.”
Rebecca McDonald – Mum of 3
“The service provided by Suzie and her team at mini majer was impeccable, one that we could not fault. It was both highly professional and extremely efficient. Being time poor due to our extensive business commitments, Suzie was able to find a nanny for our son Zachary within a week. Furthermore, Suzie helped us by introducing the services of a Mothercraft nurse and a night nanny in the initial few weeks before our full-time nanny started. Having not had much experience with nanny agencies, we found the service of mini majer very personal, and therefore one that we would happily recommend to anyone.”
Hanh Yap – First time Mum
“Our nanny has settled in with the boys nicely and I am confident to say that everything is working out and he has been fantastic with the boy’s maths homework. Thank you to mini majer!”
Helen Whelan – Mum of 2
“I was in a complete panic as I only had a few weeks before I returned to the workforce and day care and after school care did not suit my work hours. I came across mini majer on the internet and decided to call even though I had been very disappointed with the service provided by other agencies. Tracey answered every question I threw at her. I cannot stress enough how fast, communicative and thoughtful Tracey was throughout the whole process. Within three weeks we had found our perfect nanny who lives-in with our family and Tracey still keeps in contact to see how we are all doing. I could not be happier and my children love our nanny to bits. Thank you Tracey and mini majer for helping me through such a trying and difficult time.”
Charlene Barnes – Mum of 3
“I have been very impressed with mini majer’s prompt, professional, friendly, helpful and positive approach to finding my family a nanny.”
Debbie Thatcher – Mum of 2
“From the initial contact with Suzie and her firm, the service, attitude and quality provided by mini majer has been superb. Suzie took the time to meet with me initially rather than fill out an obligatory form in order to make the matching process so much more informed when the candidates for our nanny position were presented, and followed up each interview immediately after it was concluded. The professionalism displayed at all times has been a feature of their service and I have no issue in recommending Suzie and mini majer to prospective clients.”
Wendy McMillan – Mum of 1
“mini majer were recommended to us at a time when Carolyn had had an accident, and we needed someone to jump right in and look after our children. We had a fabulous nanny within 24 hours! Suzie and her team were fantastic – they came to visit us at home, gave us three excellent candidates perfectly suited to our needs, and guided us every step of the way with personal and friendly service. We are so grateful for the help they gave us.”
Peter Butler – Father of 2
“Thanks to Suzie at mini majer, my husband and I have quickly, and very effortlessly, found a lovely nanny for our soon-to-be three children. Suzie was quick to respond to our initial queries, met with me to thoroughly discuss and assess our family’s needs and to get a feel for the type of person that we required, arranged for us within days of our meeting to interview four suitable candidates that she had already screened, and then guided us through the process of appointing the nanny that we chose. I have used other nanny agencies in the past and found the mini majer service to be far more professional, thorough and, most importantly, personal than any I had used previously. I would certainly use Suzie’s services again.”
Jane Rowan – Mum of 3
Candidate Testimonials
‘Mini Majer isn’t just your everyday agency. When I had an interview by Sue,it was in a relaxed environment. She asked about me and my interests apart from Nannying-which was the ice breaker, after that,the conversations kept flowing. Once the interview was finished,I thought “let’s see how this works” To my surprise, Sue notified me within days about temp nanny positions. After every interview I attended,I received messages or a phone call from Sue asking how it went-which to me, shows that she has a genuine interest in the client and their wellbeing. I have now found my perfect nanny job and I couldn’t have done it with the help of Mini Majer, Thanks to Sue’.
Adina Doole – Nanny – 2011

Never have I felt as included, valued,and respected, as when I became a nanny for ‘minimajer’.
This agency has my total endorsement as a nanny and for those seeking ‘only the best’ for their family.’
Sincerely,

Amy Driscoll – Nanny - 2011
“I have recently relocated from South Africa and was so happy that I came across Mini Major. I sent my resume to them and within an hour Elle called me to set up an interview to meet her. She was very friendly and helpful in explaining how to obtain a Blue Card. She sent me off to an interview within a week and I am now working for a wonderful, kind family with the sweetest little angel. I am very grateful that Elle made my transmission into a new work place so easy and pleasant”

Helen Holmes
“Suzie and the team at mini majer have been a great help and finding me a suitable position. They found me a great family to work for and I have been there for three weeks now and have enjoyed it so much. Suzie in particular has been wonderful and called me a few times during the first two weeks to make sure that I was settling in well. She also made herself available to me whenever I had an emergency or any questions. They have been a great team to deal with and I would have no problem recommending them to anyone who was looking for work.”
Stephanie Colch
“Thanks to the help and support I have received from Elle and Suzie at mini majer I have now been placed with two wonderful families. One a part-time day position with a 5 month baby and the other a night nanny position for a 2 week old baby. Both of these positions have met my specific requirements of what I was after, and were found within record time!
mini majer are not only 100% professional in their criteria for sourcing a nanny, but are positive and approachable also. I will never have the need to use another agency in Australia and could not recommend them highly enough to nannies and families alike.”
Jacqui Clarke
“I am really grateful for the help from Suzie and Elle at mini majer in assisting me in finding me the right family, everything ran perfectly and there was great communication. I highly recommend mini majer to anyone wanting a professional and friendly process when finding a nanny/family. If I need to go through an agency in the future I will be using mini majer”
Sianne Nipperess
“After talking to a few other nanny agencies around Brisbane, it was a relief to find mini majer and meet Elle and Suzie. They have been so proactive in helping to find the right role for me and to ensure a best fit with a family! Their continued support and advocacy for me has been so appreciated and I would definitely recommend this agency for other nannies looking for work; be it full time, part time or casual.”
Kirsten Hayward
“As a nanny with over 10 years experience, working with agencies both within Australia and overseas, I find the personal service that Suzie, Elle and the team at mini majer provide to be nothing short of exceptional. mini majer provides a service which considers individual needs with a genuine concern for all parties involved, but is done with the upmost professionalism. mini majer is an agency which I recommend time and time again without hesitation, to both families and nannies!!”
Renee Davis
“I had always avoided agencies when looking for nanny work but when I came across a position through the mini majer agency on seek I was pleasantly surprised by their kindness and support. They quickly found me some work and were there to support me through the process. Suzie has gone over and above what I expected and Elle is great too. I now have 2 wonderful families that I am working for and you continue to keep in touch to make sure things are going well and helping me to find another family to fit my schedule. Thanks mini!”
Tammy Gardiner
“Twins of 17 months and a three year old, all boys! Yes, this is the job to keep you young! Or maybe that should be wear you out!The Twins are as cute as can be and think often together, which can be double trouble. The three year old is very chatty and loves learning new things. This is a lovely family to work for and we share many laughs, most created by the children. Thank you mini majer!!”
Hilary Hay
“When I moved to Brisbane finding a nanny job seemed daunting, but Suzie and Elle quickly and easily took care of that! Within days I was attending interviews with families. The staff were very keen on making sure both parties – the family and the nanny are happy with each other, making nannying a dream job! I am so excited to start with my new family! I am so glad I chose to register with mini majer and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the team to anyone else looking for any sort of work!”
Tess Kelly
“I first met Tracey & Suzie at my interview & was pleasantly surprised to find them both not only very professional, but friendly & down to earth. Their welcome was warm & sincere & right from the very beginning I knew I was in good hands. mini majer definitely have an understanding that the nanny/family relationship is a two-way-street & they have an uncanny sense of who belongs together. They quickly assessed my qualifications, my needs & the families that would suit. Oh, I must add, that being very new to Brisbane, I was lost for a good hour before walking in their front door & still I was greeted with warmth & humour! They are very flexible & approachable. They are an agency with integrity and one I would use when I have a family. I highly recommend mini majer to find & meet your employment needs.”
Amanda Taylor
“The service I experienced from first point of contact, through to acceptance of the position, was of the highest level. I had just completed a position on the Sunshine Coast when my husband came across mini majer’s advertisement and forwarded my details to Tracey on my behalf. I received a call from Tracey and met with her the following day, and was duly employed in the new position within a week of the application.”
Denyce Standring
“Suzie really took the time to understand what I was looking for. She believes in meeting with the families personally so she can place the best suited nanny with the family and this personal approach seems to be rare amongst the agencies I have worked with in my 15 years as a nanny. Since registering Suzie has placed me with a lovely family who share the same outlook and ideas on raising children as my own. She calls and emails to continually check in to see how things are. I would highly recommend using Suzie and mini majer whether you are a nanny looking for a family or a family looking to find your own special child carer.”
Alana Thomson
“mini majer has done a great job in finding me a family I can take on as if they were my own. From my first contact with mini majer I found the staff to be friendly, professional and efficient. I had interviews arranged within days of meeting with the team and I am pleased to say the match between myself and the family they found for me couldn’t be better. mini majer’s regular follow-up gives me the confidence to know that help or advice is just a phone call away. I can recommend mini majer to nannies and families alike!”
Jess Varley
“I found mini majer to be simply outstanding – the staff are extremely helpful, friendly and professional. They found a gorgeous family for me that matched what I was looking for in a very short time. I would not hesitate in recommending mini majer!”
Michelle Mayo
“Finding a Nanny Position wasn`t easy but thanks to mini majer and Tracey I am now the “Happy Nanny” to a loving family! I was amazed how helpful, professional and friendly Tracey was. She really took an interest in my needs in helping me find the perfect family and calls me occasionally just to see how I am doing! Their service is one of a kind!”
