Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Haymarket NSW

We’re a family based in Redfern looking for a warm, engaged nanny/babysitter to help care for our son. He’s currently 6 months old and will be around 12 months old when the regular role begins in August.

I’m currently on parental leave, so for now we’re looking for ad-hoc babysitting, with the plan to move to a regular role of 3–5 days per week from 10am until 3/4pm, starting mid-August when I return to work. Ideally we’re hoping to find someone who would like to be with our family long term.

About the role:
• Caring for for our son
• Being present and engaged -singing, reading, playing and supporting his development
• Taking him out to activities such as swimming lessons, baby sensory classes, and walks
• Preparing simple baby meals and light baby-related tidying
• Light household help such as folding laundry, unpacking the dishwasher, and general tidying

We do have a cleaner, so we’re just looking for someone happy to help with small day-to-day tasks rather than deep cleaning.

I’ll also be working from home some days, so I’ll occasionally be around the house.

About our home:
• Located in Redfern
• We have two friendly cats, so you’ll need to be comfortable with pets

About us:
I’m an IP lawyer and my husband runs a music company. We love travel and would ideally find someone who might be open to travelling with us from time to time. We’re a pretty relaxed household and enjoy things like games, trivia and music, and I also love Pilates & art.

I used to be a nanny myself for a number of years, so I really get what the job’s like. I know how much energy and care it takes, and how important it is to feel trusted and appreciated. We’re just looking for someone who’ll feel comfortable and part of the family.

About you:
• Warm, reliable and attentive
• Enjoys engaging with babies and supporting their development
• Comfortable taking a baby out to local activities
• Happy to help with light household tasks
• Interested in a longer-term role

If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you. Please send a message with a little about yourself and your experience. 😊

We had originally advertised this position as a Friday job, but my work has just informed me they would like me back on Thursdays instead. Apologies for the confusion.

We’re looking for a kind, caring and reliable nanny to spend THURSDAYS with our 8-month-old son, Otis. He’s a very gentle, happy little boy (we might be biased, but he really is the best), and we’re hoping to find someone who will enjoy spending time with him as much as he’ll enjoy being with you. Otis attends daycare Mon-Wed, and my husband Adam and I would love to keep Thursdays a little more personal and relaxed at home with a dedicated nanny.

We also would like to find someone who can baby sit on a monthly basis, for the occasional date night or dinner with friends. This would include feeding him dinner, bathing him and putting him to bed.

The hours we require are:
11.30am - 4.30pm every Thursday.
5pm - 9.30pm Friday evenings on a monthly basis.
We are of course very flexible with this, but that is the ideal availability!
We are looking to pay between $30 to $35 an hour depending on experience.

We’re a friendly, easygoing family and really value having someone who feels like part of the family. We live in Edgecliff and also have a sweet dog called Penny. If you’re warm, dependable and love spending time with babies, we’d love to hear from you.

We are looking for a mature, nurturing and experienced nanny able to care for our 6mth old and help support our household while mum transitions back to work. The ideal person will be calm, attentive and confident in managing a baby's day - supporting feeding, naps and development through play and interaction.

We would particularly value someone who naturally enjoys keeping a home organised and running smoothly, and who takes pride in helping support a busy family environment.

The primary focus of the role will be caring for our 6-month-old, including:
* Feeding and bottle preparation
* Settling for naps and maintaining a gentle routine
* Walks in the pram and age-appropriate play
* Engaging care and attention during wake periods

When the baby is resting, we would appreciate support with light household tasks that help the day run smoothly, including:

* Kitchen reset (dishwasher, tidy benches, general organisation)
* Light vacuuming and tidying of common areas

This role would suit someone who enjoys supporting both the baby and the household, helping create a calm and well-run environment during the day.

Hi, I’m looking for a helping hand to care for my 6-month-old daughter and my 3.5-year-old son after school.

The required time is 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with the possibility of extending to 6:00 pm on some days.

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.

I am a single mother to 11yo twin girls and a large overly friendly groodle called Ringo. We live in Randwick. And I could do with some help!

I am not looking for help for a full day it will be part thereof but it is mainly daytime and some afterschool hours. Hours are flexible but likely around 15 - 20hrs/wk.

**Please note that the hours posted on this job are not necessarily the specific ones I am looking for, just the site doesn't give me much flexibility with what I can tick. And our weekly schedule can be quite fluid and is definitely term based (we def have less need during the school holidays).

One of my girls is currently homeschooling and I sometimes need assistance during the day to get her to activities or to be with her at home. You will need your drivers licence and be comfortable driving a large car (volvo xc90).

I am also looking for someone who is up for helping with helping to keep us all organised!

And also willing to help with some cooking (ideally with the girls involvement).

And if you are also up for helping with some laundry and changing beds then you will be the answer to my dreams!

And sometimes I manage to make it out by myself in the evening so there might be some babysitting needs also!

I hope to hear from you if you can help!
