Some light household duties while the children sleep, if there is time and you are happy to do so (dishwasher, folding laundry, water plants, quick vacuum, take rubbish out, tidy up toys). We do have cleaners once a week so you would not be required to mop or clean bathrooms etc.
Maintaining tidiness and organisation in the children's rooms and common areas.
Liaise with service people as needed (cleaners, gardener, pool, plumber, electrician etc).
Food preparation.

11. Drivers license and a clean driving record.
12. You must be a non-smoker.
We are looking for someone who can commit until 3rd April initially (term 1 of the school year), with a view to extending this for the right candidate.
We would have you do a couple of trial babysitting shifts (paid of course) before offering the role on an ongoing basis.
If you are warm, kind, gentle, organised, experienced, responsible, reliable, energetic and fun, we would love to hear from you.
Please address each selection criteria when applying for this role. Please ensure you have the required documentation (ID, blue card, first aid, vaccination record, police check) before applying for this role.
Many thanks.
