Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Balgowlah NSW

This is perhaps a different type of vacancy but we know that special someone is out there somewhere!

We are looking for a carer preferably with support work qualifications and experience to assist our young teenager 3-4 weekday afternoon/evenings and flexible weekend shifts. You will support our son with supervision, fun company, outings, administering PEG feeds (training provided) and basic medications, self care, toileting and other daily activities.

Our son loves music, morning walks, dogs and making YouTube videos. He’s super social and good fun so someone with similar personality traits would be great.

Pay rate can be adjusted with skills and qualification levels.

✨ Nanny / House Manager – North Willoughby (Part-Time, Long-Term)

We are a family based in North Willoughby looking for an experienced nanny / house manager to support the smooth day-to-day running of our home.

We have one daughter (22 months old) and a friendly, medium-sized non-shedding dog. Our daughter attends daycare part-time, and we are flexible with her schedule to suit the right candidate.

This is a household management–focused role, ideal for someone who enjoys running an organised, efficient home and takes pride in maintaining a consistently high standard.

We have weekly cleaners, so no deep cleaning is required. Instead, we are looking for someone who can take ownership of the “in-between” tasks that keep everything running seamlessly—no job is too small.

Responsibilities include:
• Laundry, tidying, and maintaining a well-organised home
• Daily upkeep of key living areas (kitchen, living room, hallways, and play areas), including wiping down benchtops, countertops, tables, and keeping surfaces consistently clean and reset
• Grocery shopping and keeping household supplies stocked
• Managing and restocking items before they run out (e.g. dish soap, pantry items, baby supplies)
• Light food prep (e.g. boiling pasta, defrosting protein, making rice, chopping vegetables)
• Preparing and organising toddler meals
• Keeping daycare bag, pram bag, and car kit consistently stocked and ready
• Taking out garbage and general household upkeep
• Organising drawers, cupboards, wardrobes, and storage
• Running errands (groceries, returns, post office, etc.)
• Receiving deliveries and keeping the household running smoothly
• Maintaining a clean and safe outdoor space, including promptly picking up after the dog in the backyard if needed to ensure it remains suitable for a child to play in

We have a dog walker, however the candidate must be comfortable being around dogs and taking responsibility for maintaining a clean environment where needed.

This list is not exhaustive. Once core tasks are complete, there will always be opportunities to further organise, reset, or improve areas of the home, and we may also provide direction for additional tasks on quieter days.

The goal of this role is to keep the household running efficiently and proactively, allowing mum—who is often home—to focus on spending quality time with her daughter rather than managing house admin.

When our daughter is home, we are looking for someone warm, engaging, and confident with toddlers. However, this is not a role that is purely childcare-focused.

We are looking for someone who is:
• Proactive and takes initiative
• Highly organised and detail-oriented
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership
• Reliable and looking for a long-term role
• Professional during working hours, with minimal personal phone use

Position details:
• Part-time (days flexible for the right candidate)
• Long-term role
• Competitive hourly rate based on experience

If this sounds like a good fit, please DM me directly with your experience and availability—we’d love to hear from you.

After that, it’s all about spending time with the kids: reading stories, homework, playing in the backyard, or getting creative from pick up at 2:30 to 6pm. We’re looking for someone who enjoys engaging with children and can create a calm, fun afternoon routine.

We’re looking for an experienced nanny to care for our 2 year old twin boys 9am-12pm every Friday. I will be working from home, so will need the boys to be entertained in our playroom, taken to the park and given their snacks/ lunch.

We are a family of four with 3 year old and 1 year old girls looking for a safety focused, kind and reliable nanny to take care of the girls while mum works from home on Monday and Tuesday.

Both girls have been in care and the eldest is very comfortable with new people, the baby is a bit slower to warm up but has been doing well at daycare. I’d love someone that genuinely delights in children and has a strong sense of safety. The right person doesn’t need to have loads of experience but will be comfortable managing two small kids out of the house, and driving them in my car to activities.

The baby is allergic to some foods and whilst she has never had anaphylaxis I will want to show our nanny how to use the pen just in case.

Please message if interested

Hi there! We are a family of busy working parents and two happy, clever and active children aged 10 (girl) and 13 (boy). We are looking for an afternoon helper starting asap. Role would involve school pick up (very close to our home), activity drop off for one child (car required) on one day, supervising homework and activities at or near our home and some light housekeeping just to help us keep on top of things. Simple meal prep would be a bonus! Around 2.45pm until 6.45pm on Tue and Wed. If you think we would be a good match please reach out, we would love to meet you!

Hello Sitters!

We are a family of four in Surry Hills, right near buzzing Crown Street and the lightrail stop. I’m on maternity leave and my partner currently works/studies long hours. Our two lovely kids are a 2.5 year old toddler and our new baby, almost 3 months old!

Your role: to help me with the home and kids while my partner is at work - a regular 2 weekdays, approximately 5.30/6pm to 9/9.30pm. Flexibility is valued as this could turn into the odd extra ad hoc day, or extra hours on the weekend from time to time, particularly if you also had housekeeping / home management skills. Duties would be variable, mainly involving helping with our evening routine (play, dinner, bath, bedtime), perhaps keeping the toddler occupied while I settle the baby. When our toddler goes to bed, I would go with him while you take the baby (ideally you would be comfortable with her in a baby carrier).

A light tidy up and reset at the end of the evening is part of the role: putting away toys, wipe down of surfaces, occasionally putting the kids clothes away, loading the dishwasher.

It’s important that you don’t mind dogs as we have a large, friendly (non shedding) groodle who is inside and part of the family! If the kids are sorted, you could take him outside for a quick walk before you go.

If all of this suits, would be lovely to meet. Let me know if you have any questions.
