Hello Nannies!
We are a very close, fun- loving and active family of 3 - Felicity (mum), Jake (dad) and Maeve (3 years). We are looking for some help caring for Maeve on Monday - Wednesday mornings each week (~ 8.30 am - 12.30 pm).
Our previous nannies have very much become a much-loved extension of our family and have created a very special bond with Maeve. Having lost our most recent wonderful nanny to (excitingly for her!) a full-time teaching role, we are on the lookout for someone new to fill these big shoes.
The role is likely best suited to someone who already has work / study on the other days and is looking to supplement this with some extra fixed hours during the week. We understand things can pop up, but we’d really like for someone to be able to commit to staying with us for a minimum of 6 months so Maeve has some continuity.
Maeve is a very friendly, energetic and loving little girl - she is our entire world! We are looking for a nanny who genuinely loves children, has just as much energy as Maeve (she is surprisingly fast so you'll need to break into the occasional sprint in the park!), is kind, patient, and will ensure her safety is paramount (she is very adventurous and fearless!), and is unbothered by the inevitable "threenager" moment and comfortable with re-directing Maeve's energy when these happen!
Maeve loves going to the playground and park, dancing, gymnastics, exploring, and climbing. Her favourite activity is making friends and she is a real social butterfly (she will love introducing you to all her pals at the park). She is a little chatterbox and, if she sits still for long enough, also enjoys a book, drawing and playing with her toys. She has loved her previous Nannies and really looks forward to spending time with them (expect big cuddles when you arrive and leave each day!).
Some non-negotiables for us are a valid WWCC, current child first aid certificate, parent / relevant other references, and recent working experience with toddlers (2 - 3 years). It's also important that you're a good / open communicator and are reliable.
We want you to be fully engaged with Maeve, so there will be no extra duties (housework etc) required in this role. There is no need for a driver's license as there is so much within walking distance from our inner-city home (plus parking is tricky, so public transport is advised).
We'd love to build a long-term relationship with someone who will be part of our little family and an extension of us as parents.
We really look forward to hearing from you!
Felicity, Jake and Maeve.
