Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Balmain East NSW

We are are looking for a Nanny to become part of our family to look after our near 11 year old daughter.
We are looking for 4 days a week (Tuesday to Friday ) 3.15 - 6.15 pm - based in Balmain but Bianca goes to school in IGS in Ultimo so a car is a must.
The day starts with after school pick-up then take to a few after school activities, playdates, monitor homework, help prepare her dinner and get her ready for the next day (where she catches bus to school in morning)
We are trying to teach her independence - so a kind, flexible, well organised mentor/big sister type is what we are after - she has been too reliant on nanny's doing everything for her in the past so she needs someone who is firm but fair to get her ready for high school.
Ideally we want commitment until minimum the school term starting in Feb 2027 but we will also be looking for the same person until she goes to high school if that also interests.
My phone number is 0414 144 081 and easier to chat on whatsapp / text .. so please contact if interested and we can discuss further.

We are looking for a regular carer for our 9 year old son Matthew. Matthew is autistic and has reduced school hours due to difficulties coping with the demands of full time school. We are looking for an experienced carer to pick him up from school in Balmain at 1:00pm on Thursday's and Fridays, walking 500m with him to our home in Balmain, and care, help with homework and actively play with him until 5:00 PM.

Matthew is intelligent, creative, playful curious and generally well behaved, though he can sometimes have challenges regulating his behaviour or responding to social demands. We would value a patient, warm, caring and playful person, preferably with understanding and experience caring for neurodiverse children.

Hourly rates is $45 per hour.

Hi there,
We're a small family of 4 looking for help with our 9 month old boy + 3 year old girl for Wednesdays (approximately 8 am til 5/6 pm) and the occasional evening babysitting where possible. Our kids are sweet, easygoing, love the outdoors and are both in good routines with sleep/food/new people.
We also have a young groodle called Dottie who is very sweet.
The ask would be to take the kids/dog to the park or activity for a play nearby. If you can help tidy up toys / clear the decks + prepare some kids snacks and lunch that would be a huge bonus.
We both work full time and are from big families so are looking for someone who is friendly, loves kids, is proactive, can go with the flow and pitch in where needed. At least one of us will be home to take over from lunchtime onwards on Fridays.
Ideally we would like someone who can commit for at least the next 12 months.

- Playing with the boys

What is required:

Hi,

We are looking for a nanny for Monday and Tuesday for 7 weeks (our lovely nanny has to do her practical experience for her teaching degree). Following the 7 week period, we will likely need additional Ad Hoc or regular help, as I am currently 26 weeks pregnant with our third and going on maternity leave in September.

We have two children, a girl who is 18 months old (Florence) and a boy who is 4.5 years old (Bobby). Bobby is very active and enjoys going to the park and riding his bike. Bobby goes to preschool Monday and Tuesday. So we would need you to walk to pick him up (900m) and walk him home (with Florence in the pram) at 3:30. Start time would be 7:30 and we are home by 5:30/6. We are pretty relaxed and just want the kids to be happy and safe.

We live in Gladesville NSW.

Thanks

Hi,

My partner and I, are in search of an experienced nanny.

Our beautiful baby girl - Elara-Penelope who is 8 months old, is very sweet, good natured and possess a happy temperament.

My partner and I are both career driven people and have demanding jobs so we need the extra help :)

My partner is anxious about leaving Elara (to be expected), we hope to find someone we can trust and connect with who can be an integral part of our early journey in parenthood.

This would likely result in further days/hours in the future.
