Our Journey
Our journey started with an idea in 1998 in the Adelaide home of Tanya Cole. Tanya, a mum with two young children, was struggling to find quality child care that she could access at home. It was then that the idea of starting a nanny agency was born. With Hessel Group she was able to help other parents by taking away the confusion and difficulty of finding a nanny to care for their children at home.
We’ve since grown from the humble beginnings of one person, home run office and now as the Hessel Group, we employ over 300 staff ranging from nannies, babysitters, educators to disability support workers. We are still supporting families with the same quality care but our services have expanded over the last 20 years!
Hessel Group now comprises of a number of care, support and training services:
- Home-based Care including nanny, educators and babysitters
- Disability Support
- Registered Training Organisation 40387, Enhance Training
- Mobile Event Creche Service
- Allied Health & Behavior Support
Hessel Group is an approved provider for both In-Home Care and the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Building on our strong Early Childhood Education foundations, Hessel Group opened Hessel Children’s Centre in the heart of Port Adelaide in December 2019. A brand new facility servicing the needs of the growing population in the area and creating employment with many of the centre’s staff being graduates of our registered training organisation, Enhance Training (RTO 40387).
