Looking for an experienced nanny to look after our 1 year old daughter in Lane Cove. Nappy change, feeding, food preparation, play games, light cleaning. Must have WWCC and first aid.
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 😅
As a previous nanny myself, I’d love someone to really become a more permanent part of our family life.
Mum is also pregnant with number 2 so there will be opportunity down the road for both children (but in the distant future for now!).
PM me with any questions and your CV. Sorry but no Working Holiday Visas or Holiday Visas.
We’re hoping to meet with people over the next two weeks or so for a Monday 26th May start (with hopefully a half day prior with me to help settle you in).
We are looking for care for somebody to collect our two little boys aged 5 and 6 from their respective school/preschool on Wednesdays and Thursdays and stay with them until 6pm when we get home from work!
We are in North Balgowlah and the hours would be:
- 3pm - 6pm, Wednesdays and Thursdays (we could alternatively make that Tuesdays and Wednesdays if works better for you)
- 9-12pm on Fridays, looking after two 5 year olds (but this part is negotiable! The main thing we need is after school help on Wednesday and Thursday).
Both schools are a few mins drive away from our home, but too far for the boys to walk so a driver's licence and car is essential.
There would also be additional work available on school holidays and some ad hoc weekend babysitting as well.
Hey nannies and carers of kids!
Our wonderful longterm nanny is going for a trip overseas for 3 months and we need to replace her with a temporary nanny during this time. Start date would be beginning June with a transition period with our current nanny and then through to late August.
Hours needed are
Mon - Fri - 3pm - 8pm
There is definitely opportunity for more hours as we are often out during the week at night and need the nanny to stay back later.
We have two beautiful kids - 7 years (girl) and 9 year old (boy). They are very used to having nannies and a solid routine. The requirements are to pick up the kids from school everyday and take them to the various after school activities. Then home for shower and homework, dinner and bedtime. Some light household duties are required - cooking / preparing dinner, folding washing and packing/unpacking dishwasher.
We provide a car with car seats and all petrol is paid by us (naturally),
Rate is $30-$35ph (pending experience) during the kids hours and $20ph when babysitting (kids in bed).
We live in Balgowlah and we have a little cavoodle dog who is very much a family member and likes school pick up walks! Ideally someone who lives locally who knows the area well for playgrounds and after-school adventures and is experienced with primary school kids, has a firm but kind approach to discipline and is family oriented.
Please message me if you are interested!
Thanks Kim
