• 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.

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 loving, caring and fun nanny to look after our 10 month old on a Tuesday from 10am to 4pm.
We are based in Cremorne and are a young, relaxed and warm family.
Mum will be working from home on this day and will be around to breastfeed a couple of times, but will stay out of the way.
10 month old is active, sweet and cheeky. We can provide a car for the day.
We are looking for a happy, reliable and experienced nanny to look after our 2 little girls, aged 3 & 5 years old after daycare / school. The role will be to collect the girls from daycare / school (walking them home from daycare around the corner) and then giving them dinner. We would like someone with nanny experience and references. This is not a baby sitting role so please do not apply if you do not have any paid nanny / childcare experience.
We are Leichhardt based. The hours will be Tuesday 3pm-7pm / Wednesday 4pm-7pm / Thursday 4pm -7pm. Looking forward to hearing from you soon :)
We’re Steph & Paul and we’re looking for a baby sitter for our 7.5 month old baby Pearl.
At the moment we’re looking for someone to come and hang out with Pearl regularly on Saturdays 1:30pm-5:30pm from now up to September and casual baby sitting there after.
Care may require feeding (formula & solids), nappy changing, playing, walks to the park and settling for naps.
We’re just looking for child care, not for any household task help. We do have a cavoodle called Ned but he’s pretty happy just chilling on the lounge so there would also be no need to worry about him.
If these hours sound of interest, we’d love to meet you.

Hi there! Mum to a gorgeous 7yo girl, based in Alexandria. We're both working full time, and need help after school hours 3-6pm Tuesday and 330-600 on Wednesdays.
Pick up would be from school, and tbc what activities would be (will firm that up when she starts school) but it could play out like:
- picking her up to take to after school activities
- maybe she has a class onsite and you would need to pick up at 4, and ask would then be for you to perform some light household cleaning from 3-4
- potentially it may involve just taking care of her, taking her to park etc if no activity is on.
We sometimes also might ask you to pick her up plus one friend, as sometimes the parents in her class help each other out. If they were ever to happen it would always be only one kid - but just a heads up on that.

I am looking for a casual sitter for my 3 year old son, there may be occasional after school collection times and potential mid week / weekend evenings. I am looking for someone long term who will be like part of the family as it is just my son and I and I prefer him to be comfortable with just the one person who lives fairly close by to us.

Our son is a funny, highly intelligent and warm hearted teenager who experiences daily challenges due to his ASD and ADHD diagnosis. He is highly verbal and often enjoys in depth conversations. He can at times become highly anxious and require support to manage his concerns. He has no physical disabilities. Essentially, our son requires help with daily organisation, meal preparation and outdoor activities. He attends school via correspondence and requires significant support in managing his daily tasks and overall school workload including assessments. He needs assistance and supervision when logging on for exams.
Our son is a fussy eater who is working towards independence when making meals, therefore meal preparation is required as well as teaching our son how to cook his own food. Daily exercise is critical, however he often resists this and so a supportive approach is best here.
Light household cleaning will be required such as cleaning dishes from the day, putting out a load of washing and ensuring our son's room is tidy. At the end of the day, the living area of the home needs to be left tidy.
