Hello nanny’s of the inner North!
My name’s Lenore and I’m a nanny looking for another nanny to take over my current role working with a family in Fitzroy North! You will be helping Jac (mum) and Ash (dad) with their two beautiful primary school kids, 4 days a week.
It’s a busy household, so we’re looking for someone who can help with the daily routine, including school drop off/pickup and after school activities, Monday to Thursday. The hours are 7:30am - 9:30am and then 3:30pm - 6:30pm on each day (5 hours per day / 20 hours pw).
Both Cate and Harry are pretty independent being 8 and 10 years old which is something we’re trying to encourage as much as possible. They’re able to get themselves ready in the mornings and help pack their lunches, help prep dinner sometimes and shower/get themselves ready for bed in the evenings, etc.
Cate is 10 and has just started in grade 5. She is an absolute chatterbox / actor in the making, also loves to read and is always planning her next story to write. She’s super witty (major lols) and has got a lot of sas too! Little bro Harry is 8 and has just started grade 3. He’s such a sweet boy who’s also very active and loves sport, especially footy (carn the blues!), basketball and soccer. He’s totally your go to guy for footy final updates and hot takes! He also loves drawing and playing games, plus has a very admirable dedication to his footy card collection!
In between helping the kids and getting them from A to B, which includes afterschool activities for both, it’s also important that you’re able to help with running the household more generally. This will include things such as grocery shopping, cooking meals, helping the kids with their homework, keeping the place tidy, doing the laundry and some ironing too.
These guys are a super social and fun family who are always open to new ways of doing things. Jac and Ash are also happy to be fairly hands off and allow you to set your own rules/boundaries with the kids and will respect them. The end of the week usually calls for a glass of wine together and a good catch up. They’re warm and welcoming people who are always there to listen and offer their support to you personally, just as much as you will for their fam too :)
I have loved this job so much, and it’s with a heavy heart that I’m moving on from it only to begin a career in the area of my study. As testimony to this, I have been with these guys for almost 4 and a half years now and they have truly become family. We’re ideally looking for someone who can commit long term, however, it’s not necessary for you to have any qualifications in related fields of work/care. No requirements of age so long as you’re mature minded, and have an Australian drivers license as well as your own car.
Start date will be ASAP.
If this sounds like it’d be a good fit for you please get in contact :)
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
