Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Homebush West NSW

I’m looking for a nanny to come to our home for a few hours per week to engage with my children in a hands-on, playful, and educational way. The ideal person will have a background in early childhood education and be confident setting up age-appropriate activities that support learning and development.

I’m after someone who can truly connect with the kids—playing with them, guiding them through creative and stimulating experiences like sensory play, basic science experiments, storytelling, and games. This role is more than just supervision; I’ll be home during this time, so I’m seeking someone who can take the lead in enriching their day through fun, purposeful play.

Eventually, once there is a mutual trust and connection, hours and days may increase.

It’s important to us to find someone with the right mix of skill and heart—someone who will make a positive and lasting impact on our children.

Our wonderful nanny, who has been with us for 2.5 years, is finishing her nursing degree this year and we’re looking for someone to take over from her.

We have 4 kids (~11/8/7/2) and are located on the boarder of Ashfield and Summer Hill. The morning (~ 7-9am) routine involves supervising them getting their breakfast, helping them get dressed and ready for school, and driving/walking them to school. In the afternoons (~ 3-6:30/7pm) it’s school pickup, afternoon activities (e.g. ferrying the kids to activities or taking them for a play at the park), dinner prep and supervising bath time. One of us will make it home from work before the bed time routine starts.
We would prefer someone with prior nannying experience, but more importantly we need someone who is responsible, reliable, and is happy to take initiative. Most importantly we’d like for you to engage with the kids and be able to ride the wave of the occasional chaos that is created by four loud, confident (and fiercely independent) kids! It’s (mostly) lots of fun!!

Flexibility with days and finish/start times is appreciated - the shifts can change a little from week to week (depending on my roster). We are also willing to work around you too if you need (with placements, exams, family commitments etc.) There is also opportunity to do 1 or 2 long days/week to stay at home with our littlest of that works for you.

Flexible start date - could be as early as Oct 2025, but definitely by Jan 2026.

We look forward to hearing from you!

We are looking for a friendly and reliable babysitter for our 7 year old son on some Wednesday afternoons (around 4:30pm to 7:30pm). You'd take him to his local soccer games and prepare a simple dinner or snack. Someone who enjoys sports, particularly soccer, would be a great fit, but not a must. Times are a little flexible, and we will have extra babysitting opportunities.

- Helping on the potty and doing nappy changes

- Our home has security cameras, the location of them all would be pointed out when you start.
- We have free visitor parking available onsite should you need it.
- Payment available to be made in cash or via bank transfer or Wise (this is up to you)

- Lives close by between City to Bondi Junction ONLY.

Days required **initially
Monday (7-hrs)
Wednesday (7hrs)

Hello there!
I need a babysitter for my two boys, almost 1y/o and almost 3y/o from 6-8pm, 3 times a week. Preferably Monday, Tuesday and Thursday but negotiable. German speaking would be a plus but not a need. I would need help with my evening routines for the boys and a bit of playtime with my older one while I put the youngest to sleep. Feel free to message and we can catch up for a coffee to get to know each other a bit better. I’m looking forward hearing from you.
Warm regards Sabine

My wife and I are a busy professional couple, who are looking for some assistance with our 14 month old son a couple of days per week. Given our work schedules, we're after someone who can assist on a consistent basis, and then also provide coverage on an adhoc basis.

I have a fab 6 (nearly 7 year old) - Grace - and we are looking for some help on a regular basis. We previously had a Uni student big sister, she was with us for 4 years and just got a full time job so is wrapping up with us. Im looking for that uni student profile and age.

Bit about us - I'm a busy full time working single mum looking for someone who feels more like a big sister than a formal nanny/babysitter to be part of our little family. Someone warm, reliable, organised and fun. Currently we are can looking at every week on a Thursday, but there is an option for tuesday aswell.

What does it involve?
Grace is at Woollahra Public school and we live within walking distance. Thursday would be collecting her from aftercare around 4pm, bringing her home, some games/homework, making her dinner and get her in the bath/shower. Im home between 6 and 7. But I always pay 4-7pm as the hours. Sometimes I will have work events and stay out a bit later too.

If we did a Tuesday that would be taking her to dance class at bondi junction and dropping her at her dads. Hours for that would be, 4-6pm.

We provide a credit card for all expenses (treats from the shop!) and the car too if needed.

Our son is a funny, highly intelligent and warm hearted teenager who experiences daily challenges due to his ASD and ADHD diagnosis. He is highly verbal and often enjoys in depth conversations. He can at times become highly anxious and requires support to manage his concerns. He has no physical disabilities. Essentially, our son requires help with daily organisation, meal preparation and outdoor activities. He attends school via correspondence and needs assistance and supervision when logging on for exams.

Our son is a fussy eater who is working towards independence when making meals, therefore meal preparation is required as well as teaching our son how to cook his own food. Daily exercise is critical, however he often resists this and so a supportive approach is best here.

Household cleaning will be required such as cleaning dishes from the day, putting out a load of washing, ensuring our son's room is tidy etc. At the end of the day, the living area of the home needs to be left tidy.

Candidates must have an interest in working with neurodiverse teenagers. This role requires someone who is patient, kind and genuinely enjoys the company of teenagers. This role suits someone who has previous experience working with neurodivergent teenagers.

Working with Children check and a Police check is a requirement.

This is a permanent, school term based job.
