About Hugo:
Hugo is a bright and engaging 16-year-old who faces several challenges, including visual impairment (no sight in one eye and moderate vision in the other), some motor skill challenges that means he requires extra support, and some mild learning issues. He is in Year 10 and a highly motivated student but requires structured support with his homework and assessments, particularly in maths, science, English, and commerce.
Responsibilities:
• After-school care (Monday-Friday, approximately 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM, occasionally until 7:00 PM):

o Preparing his afternoon tea and snacks.
o Transporting him to and from the occasional after-school activities (e.g., speech therapy).
• Additional support (negotiable):
o Occasional meal preparation, considering Hugo’s dietary requirements.
o School holiday support (negotiable, ideally 10 AM - 3 PM, four days a week): Additional care and study support during school holidays, schedule to be agreed upon in advance
Ideal Candidate:
• Experience with and empathy for working children who require extra support, demonstrating a disciplined and creative approach to targeted academic assistance.
• Energetic, caring, and enthusiastic, with a genuine enjoyment of spending time with teenagers.
• Strong tutoring skills and understanding of the curriculum, particularly in Year 10 maths, science, English, and commerce.
• Ability to provide consistent and firm, yet supportive guidance.
• Valid driver's license and access to a reliable vehicle (we can provide our automatic car, or you can use your own).
• Valid Working with Children Check.
• Non-smoker.
Start Date: 1 May (including several months training/handover period with Hugo’s current helper).
Compensation: We offer flexibility in hours and are willing to discuss a competitive compensation package commensurate with experience.
If you are a compassionate and skilled individual passionate about helping teenagers thrive, we encourage you to apply. This is a chance to make a tangible difference in Hugo's life and be a part of his growth and development.

We are looking for a nanny for our cheeky little two year old boy.
We are based in Balgowlah and will need Mondays only. Hours 8.30am-5.30pm.
I will be working from home separately but would love someone who’s happy with getting out with the pram, or using our car to find some fun things to do! He’s an active little bubba so needs equal nurturing and high energy 😅
