Hello Baby & The Nanny Collective
Both initiatives were born from the same belief: families deserve support that goes deeper.
Hello Baby is for expecting parents and new parents in the first three months — the time when questions come quickly and confidence can feel fragile. We provide evidence-based preparation resources, including guides and workshops, that help you understand what's ahead, make informed decisions, and feel genuinely ready for this new chapter. Whether you're preparing before birth or navigating those early weeks with your newborn, we're here to help you find your footing with clarity and calm.
The Nanny Collective addresses the challenge of finding exceptional childcare in Barcelona, the city where Hello Baby was born too. Families deserve more than a transactional placement service. We created a thoughtful matching process that builds genuine relationships between families and nannies — where both feel valued, supported, and understood.
Both initiatives share the same foundation: real experience with families, evidence-based guidance, and the belief that family life can feel supported instead of overwhelming. We're here to help.
Hi! I'm Myrna, founder of The Nanny Collective and Hello Baby.
I started my childcare journey at nineteen as an au pair in New Zealand, caring for two little girls whose parents treated me as family. That experience showed me what's possible when childcare is built on partnership, trust, and genuine connection, and not just a service transaction.
Over the next decade, I worked as a nanny across four countries. I experienced homes where I was valued as part of the family, and others where I was merely a placeholder. I worked in daycare centers where schedules mattered more than individual needs, and spent several years as a night nanny with newborns and babies in Amsterdam — work that gave me deep understanding of how newborns actually behave, what's normal versus concerning, and how to support exhausted parents through those intense early weeks.
Across all these experiences, I saw a consistent pattern: parents feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, and unsure if they were doing enough. They wanted more than just care: they wanted clarity, trust, and connection. And nannies wanted to feel valued for the important work they do.
I knew there had to be a better way.
With a Master's degree in International Business and over a decade of hands-on childcare experience, I founded The Nanny Collective to reimagine nanny placements: creating thoughtful matches where families and nannies thrive together. Then I created Hello Baby to address the preparation overwhelm I saw expecting parents experiencing: giving them evidence-based guidance that cuts through the noise.
My approach:
I see family dynamics clearly, understand what a household truly needs (often before they can articulate it themselves), and believe in creating resources and relationships built on genuine understanding. Human connection drives everything I do.
What I do:
I lead The Nanny Collective's family matching process, create Hello Baby's content and resources, and ensure both brands stay true to their mission: supporting parents with what they actually need, not what the industry says they should want.
SASA - NEWBORN SPECIALIST
I've spent over 10 years working in neonatal intensive care and supporting families with newborns.
I've seen thousands of babies, answered every question you can imagine, and learned to recognize the difference between "call your pediatrician now" and "this is completely normal newborn behavior." What matters most to me isn't just the clinical knowledge — it's how I share it. I want new parents to feel capable instead of anxious. I explain the "why" behind recommendations so you can make your own informed decisions, and I never want you to feel like you're doing something wrong.
My approach: Warm, practical, evidence-based guidance that helps you trust yourselves as parents.
What I do: I lead Hello Baby workshops (online and in Barcelona), provide 1:1 consultations for families, and collaborate on all Hello Baby content to ensure it's grounded in real newborn experience.
meet the hello baby team
Hello Baby was born from a shared passion: to guide parents through one of life's most profound transitions with clarity, confidence, and calm.
When Myrna (right, founder of the Nanny Collective) and Sasa (newborn specialist) met, they immediately recognized how their expertise could come together to support families in a way that felt both professional and deeply human. Sasa brings years of clinical experience from London's neonatal units, while Myrna brings the intimate, hands-on knowledge of caring for newborns in families' homes across countries.
Together, we bring clinical expertise and hands-on newborn care to support you with warmth, clarity, and confidence.
We also work with a network of childcare professionals and specialists to ensure every resource, workshop, and placement meets the highest standards. This isn't just the two of us—it's a collective of experienced professionals dedicated to supporting parents.
