Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Canterbury NSW

Our wonderful nanny, who has been with us for 2.5 years, is finishing her nursing degree this year and we’re looking for someone to take over from her.

We have 4 kids (~11/8/8/2) and are located on the boarder of Ashfield and Summer Hill. The morning (~ 7-9am) routine involves supervising them getting their breakfast, helping them get dressed and ready for school, and driving/walking them to school. In the afternoons (~ 3-6:30/7pm) it’s school pickup, afternoon activities (e.g. ferrying the kids to activities or taking them for a play at the park), dinner prep and supervising bath time. One of us will make it home from work before the bed time routine starts.
We would prefer someone with prior nannying experience, but more importantly we need someone who is responsible, reliable, and is happy to take initiative. Most importantly we’d like for you to engage with the kids and be able to ride the wave of the occasional chaos that is created by four loud, confident (and fiercely independent) kids! It’s (mostly) lots of fun!!

Flexibility with days and finish/start times is appreciated - the shifts can change a little from week to week (depending on my roster). We are also willing to work around you too if you need (with placements, exams, family commitments etc.) There is also opportunity to do 1 or 2 long days/week to stay at home with our littlest of that works for you.

Flexible start date - could be as early as Oct 2025, but definitely by Jan 2026.

We look forward to hearing from you!

We have gorgeous 13 month old twin girls. Currently located in Lindfield but moving to Burwood in March 2026. Looking for a nanny who is kind, safe and reliable.

Qualities required:
-Confident managing two toddlers
-Experience with care of >1 child
-Kind and patient
-WWCC
-References

We can offer $35/hour plus super with a guaranteed 30 hours a fortnight. Hours likely to increase from May onwards, if mutually agreeable. Days would generally be 7 am to 7pm. Once in Burwood we will be conveniently located near the train line, with parks and library within easy walking distance so licence not essential. Ideally looking to build a relationship with someone whilst we are in Lindfield who could continue on once we move to Burwood but open to applications for people who can only start once in Burwood.

We are looking for a loving, organised and enthusiastic nanny to join our family.
.
Our children are G8, B6 & B4. The older children are at school locally and our youngest attends preschool part-time. We also have an elderly dog.

Care responsibilities would be full days on Thursday and Fridays for our youngest with school drop off and pick ups for the older two.
Tuesday and Wednesday care requirements can be negotiable, preschool/school pickups (from 2pm) being the priority, however we would love some help in the morning (7-10ish) if you are available. For the right candidate we can offer additional hours during the day when the kids are at school to help keep things ticking over at home. Preference would be for someone who can do all four days.

Our work rosters are variable so we generally structure your working week around that. We guarantee a set number of hours per fortnight and provide you with a roster a month in advance. We can work around university rosters to a degree, and with notice can be somewhat flexible with timetable changes.

A car is not required, however it would be helpful if you can drive. A family car is available for use. This is not essential though as all the kids after school activities are local or accessible via a short bus ride.

We are an experienced nanny family and are sadly farewelling our current nanny as she returns home overseas. She is happy to provide a family reference.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello there!
I need a babysitter for my two boys, almost 1y/o and almost 3y/o from 6-8pm, 3 times a week. Preferably Monday, Tuesday and Thursday but negotiable. German speaking would be a plus but not a need. I would need help with my evening routines for the boys and a bit of playtime with my older one while I put the youngest to sleep. Feel free to message and we can catch up for a coffee to get to know each other a bit better. I’m looking forward hearing from you.
Warm regards Sabine

As a full time role, we’re looking to pay approximately $60,000 p.a plus superannuation, for the right candidate.

Our ideal babysitter has enough experience to follow their routines, offer some structured playtime or creative projects on longer days, and share in the girls fun, including running around if needed!

Energetic, happy family seeking someone experienced; patient and confident driving to/from school, daycare and extracurricular activities for three children: 8, 6 & 3 years old.

Initially located in Chiswick, and moving to Hunters Hill ~ March 2026.

Duties include - school and daycare pick-ups and drop-offs; after school activities; dinner and lunchbox preparation; homework assistance; light house duties including kids’ laundry and kitchen/dishes.

We’re a busy, active, funny and honest family of 5 humans and 1 big dog. We are looking for an active, fun, reliable, tidy and responsible au pair, who has common sense and initiative, to join our household to help us keep the family running. The role involves at least 3 afternoons a week, of school pick up, homework, dinner, bath, bed, for 3 kids; and ad hoc help with housework.

Must provide CV and at least 2 referees able to talk to the parents by phone (Equally, our prior nannies would be happy to talk by phone to confirm we’re good people!).

Hello,
We need help before and after school for our daughters age 7, 9 and 12. We live in Bronte, a very short walk to the girls school (Clovelly public). They have activities some days- we have a car available. Job involves school pick up at 3pm then looking after the girls and preparing dinner. Hours 3-7- often we finish earlier- in which case you'd be paid of course but can have an early mark.

We're a family looking for a caring, reliable and proactive nanny to join us and help care for our sweet and happy 8 month old, as well as our clever chatty 3 year old.

Hours:
4-4.5 days a week (Mon, Tues, Weds, Thurs - plus a few hours on Friday if desired)

What we're looking for:
Someone who brings warmth, initiative and a genuine love of working with children. We value a calm, structured approach - especially for our baby who is on a nap schedule - so experience with baby sleep routines is ideal. It is very important that this person is punctual as my husband and I often have meetings in the morning and have to leave on time.

We are also looking for someone who also has flexibility around night times as we can have work events in the evening.

We'd love someone who is happy to prepare healthy meals and snacks for the children, keep things tidy and pitch in with light household chores (e.g dishes, folding and laundry) when the children are napping or playing independently. We want someone who is happy to lend a hand around the home during nap times (rather than just scrolling or waiting for time to pass - initiative is important to us!)

We're close to the beach and parks, and there is easy street parking and great public transport access. We're also very open to ideas for outings and activities - local libraries, playgrounds, museums, shows, baby sensory, Play studio - and of course happy to cover any reasonable costs for fun, enriching experiences you'd like to try with the kids. We have a strict no TV policy and prefer to minimise phone usage around our children.

We also have a dog so you need to be comfortable with pets.

Must have:
* Experience with babies under 12 months
* WWCC
* Long term availability (ideally 1-2 years)
* Child related qualifications preferred (but not essential)

Rate is negotiable for the right person - we truly value great care and want this to be a wonderful fit for both sides.
