Hi there,

I’m a single mother to a bright, energetic and sassy little girl and a cute fur baby (a gentle cuddly cavalier).

I am returning to full time work as a shift worker and looking for someone to care for my daughter from 3pm to possibly 9 or 10pm on Mondays and Wednesdays each fortnight (possibly more days).

It would involve school pick up, swim class, and home bath/bed routine. Some help with light house work, meal prep and dog walking would be highly desirable to help lighten the load.

My daughter is emotionally sensitive and needs a consistent and attuned carer to help establish trust and assist with this transition for her.

She also has asthma and requires puffer medication. Knowledge of asthma and asthma first aid is required (or willingness to obtain).

Please feel free to message me about the job.

All that is required on Wednesday is pick up from school in the Eastern Suburbs, drive home to Balmain and entertain/complete homework until 5:30-6pm when us parents return home.
On Thursday, pick up is the same however our older daughter will be heading to sport training, so you will need to stay home just with our younger daughter until 5:30pm.
Also the possibility of extra hours in school holidays if wanted.
Own car and drivers licence is mandatory (P plates ok).
WWCC also mandatory.
Please apply if this sounds like something that would suit you!

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 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. 😊

Andrew and Georgie

Paddington couple looking for another pair of hands (and eyes!) to help with our girls aged 16, 15 and 13 and a boy aged 6 who attends school across the road.
The girls participate in lots of after school sport so whilst I’m ferrying them to and from, we need someone to “mind the fort”, occasionally help with homework, unpack lunchboxes, prep dinner, corral the younger two into their showers, clean up kids’ dinner, fold laundry, read stories and generally help provide TLC so we can keep our show on the road.
Over the years, we’ve been very lucky to have had amazing babysitters for long periods and we remain close with them all.
Hours are generally 3.30-7.30pm, but we also need occasional sitting for evening events mid-week or on weekends. I have listed Monday and Tuesday as they are our days of greatest need but our house is always busy.
Permanent residents only please because we want someone who can stay with us 2+ years. Thanks
