Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Freshwater NSW

Hi! We are a friendly family looking for a warm, reliable and experienced nanny to help care for our beautiful 4-month-old son as I transition back to work.

We’re looking for someone to provide care for approximately half a day, 2–3 days per week (with flexibility around days and times). Care will be between our home in Manly and our office in Dee Why, depending on the day.

I own a law firm, so I’ll usually be nearby working rather than completely away. We’re looking for someone who can confidently care for our son while I focus on work, but who is also comfortable with me being around.

Our ideal nanny is:
• Experienced with babies under 12 months.
• Warm, calm, patient and genuinely loves caring for infants.
• Reliable and punctual.
• Happy to follow our routines for feeds, naps and play.
• Holds a current Working With Children Check, First Aid and CPR (or is willing to obtain them).
• Has a driver’s licence and car (preferred but not essential).

We’re hoping to find someone who feels like an extension of our family and who can provide a safe, loving and engaging environment for our little boy.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you! Please tell us about your experience with infants, your availability and provide references.

The job will require you to look after an 18 month old boy from 8am-5pm two days a week. The days are flexible either Monday, Thursday or Thursday depending on your availability. The role would fit a uni student well.

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. He lives at home with a loving family in a beautiful part of the Northern Beaches of Sydney. He has a complex health condition which is managed with a bigger team so you will be well supported and fully trained.

Pay rate can be adjusted with skills and qualification levels.

We can offer additional hours if required and can be slightly flexible around the hours for this role if need be.

Happy to discuss more in person.

We need someone who they feel comfortable with as it has just been Chris and I putting them to bed at night. We want the person to be fun and playful with the kids and a person that we trust and can build a relationship with long-term.
