Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Balmain NSW

Hello I’m Harriet. I have two beautiful boys- Henry, 5, and Arthur, nearly 3. Henry is in Kindergarten. He loves dinosaurs, books, running, sport and is very imaginative. Arthur is independent and fearless and tries to do everything that Henry does! He loves drawing and playing games. They are sweet together and have a lot of fun!

Looking for someone to get to know the boys and our family to do some casual babysitting and possibly some after school pickup etc for Henry.

I also have a 3yo boy who will be there in the morning and afternoons after preschool, in October you won’t be required to look after him as either my husband or I will be home but he will be there for a short amount of time.

If you are available and this is of interest please send me a message with a bit about yourself and your experience.

Our much-loved nanny is retiring, so we are looking for a new babysitter to care for our three boys, aged 3, 6, and 8, four mornings a week - Tuesday to Friday. The role involves getting the boys ready for school or pre-school and dropping them off, with a 9am drop-off at Annandale Public School. We live in Dulwich Hill, and our youngest son attends Dulwich Hill Early Learning Centre on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, so he would need to be dropped off before taking the older boys to school. We are a very easy-going family seeking someone with prior experience working with children, who has lots of energy and is fun and engaging. A driver's licence and car are required for this position, and we are offering $350 a week.

We are looking for a warm, reliable and engaging nanny to support our youngest son, Raphael, after school.
The role is typically Monday to Thursday from approximately 2.00pm–7.00pm and would suit someone who enjoys building a genuine connection with a child and becoming part of a family’s routine. Additional hours may be available during school holidays if desired.
Raphael is a bright, energetic 8 year old child who thrives with warmth, consistency and positive engagement. Your afternoons would generally involve school pick-up, supporting after-school activities, helping with homework where needed, and creating a calm and enjoyable transition into the evening.
We are a friendly family based in Paddington with three older teenage children who are largely independent, so the role is focused primarily on Raphael.
A driver’s licence is essential, as occasional driving to activities or appointments may be required. While Raphael is occupied, some light household help such as preparing a simple family meal, helping with washing or keeping things organised would be appreciated. We also have two friendly dogs and a cat, so being comfortable around pets is important.
We are looking for someone who is kind, dependable, organised and proactive, and who is seeking a stable, long-term role with a family who will genuinely value and appreciate them.
If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you.
