We could also offer more hours / longer days if the candidate wishes.

Position Description:
6.30am start, help get the two older girls ready for school. Mum & Dad will leave home with the older kids by about 7.30am. The nanny will stay with the toddler. (From time to time you may have one of the older kids too if they are home from school for some reason.)
Take toddler out for a walk in the pram, or to the park or library. We have a car for the nanny’s use during work hours.
Some light household duties while the toddler sleeps, 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 a cleaner 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 (cleaner, gardener, pool, plumber, electrician etc).

4. You must be fully vaccinated.
5. Working With Children Check.

We are looking for someone who can commit for six months initially, 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.
Many thanks.
