We are a family of four based in the Eastern Suburbs - Mum, Dad and 2 boys (aged 8 and 4).
Sadly, our current nanny who we love dearly is heading back home at the end of April and we are looking for an experienced nanny to join our family and care for our boys on a long-term basis.
We are looking for someone friendly, bubbly and energetic who will love and care for our boys as if they were her own. We both have very busy and demanding jobs and need someone who is reliable, trustworthy and independent who we can count on to look after the boys and their needs, whilst we are at work.
During school terms, the role is about 40-45 hours per week:
- Tuesday & Wednesday (full days): 7:30am to 7pm
- Monday, Thursday & Friday (morning and afternoon): 7:30am to 10/10:30am & 2:30pm to 7pm
Full time care will generally be needed for both boys during school holidays.
Duties include:
- help with morning routine (breakfast, getting ready for school/daycare, daycare drop off)
- transporting boys to and from daily/afternoon activities and supervising them
- light meal prep/cooking
- light housework
- running errands
- school pick up
- help with homework
- help with afternoon routine (dinner, bath time etc)
- care when the boys are sick and can't attend school/daycare.
We are interested in candidates who are looking for a long-term nannying role (1 year minimum) with minimum 2 years nannying/childcare experience. Childcare qualifications will also be highly regarded.
Driver's license and a clean driving record are essential.
If this is the kind of role that would interest you please get in touch!
Au pair or fulltime co-care (with mum) for a beautiful little girl who is 3 months old.
Maintain light household, groceries, maintain baby room, errands, play, feeding her- ill be here a lot and we have cleaners too- but need a second set of wonderful hands to trust with my baby when I need to head out.
Hi there! Mum to a gorgeous 7yo girl, based in Alexandria. We're both working full time, and need help after school hours 3-6pm Tuesday and 330-600 on Wednesdays.
Pick up would be from school, and tbc what activities would be (will firm that up when she starts school) but it could play out like:
- picking her up to take to after school activities
- maybe she has a class onsite and you would need to pick up at 4, and ask would then be for you to perform some light household cleaning from 3-4
- potentially it may involve just taking care of her, taking her to park etc if no activity is on.
We sometimes also might ask you to pick her up plus one friend, as sometimes the parents in her class help each other out. If they were ever to happen it would always be only one kid - but just a heads up on that.
Hi there, we have a little three month called Julian. He can’t quite look after himself yet, so we’re looking to connect with potential people to help him out every now and then!
In particular, we have an awkward situation where our work trips are crossing over on Thursday 15th May - we’d need someone from 7am (sorry, I know that’s early) till about 6pm.
We are generally looking to connect with people for evening work as well.
We also have a small cavoodle who doesn’t require care but wouldn’t say no to some cuddles and pats every now and then.
We are looking for a nanny for our 2 children aged 4 and 7. We are currently located in North Ryde but the children's schools are in Hunters Hill (about 10 minutes from our home). We are looking for someone to work either 1 or 2 days on a Wed/Thursday or Fri from 2:30pm to 6:30pm. Drivers licence is a must as you will be collecting the children from school. We can provide a car with car seats for you to use.
Cole is 7 and loves swimming and dogs. He has ASD so experience and interest in working with children with autism is preferred. Finn is 12, pretty self-contained and good at helping out.
We live in a terraced townhouse overlooking a busy dog park with a great playground. We have two cats - Coconut and Claude - and two fish (currently unnamed!).
I work from home so will be available to help where required. Ideally you’d be able to play with Cole at home and also take him on local outings - eg) swimming pool and park. Help with simple meal prep and basic tidying would also be great.
We have just had our second baby (8 weeks old) and looking for some help managing.
At this stage, I am looking to start with 2x mornings per week (Mon and Thurs from 9-1am, but can be flexible). The main responsibility would be to help look after our newborn baby so ideally we need someone who feels comfortable with babies.
