Looking for a responsible adult mother's helper to monitor 2 children (11 boy and 12 girl) and manage the house for two days a week (Mondays and Thursday) in the January school holidays when the parents are office-bound. The start and end times can vary and will generally include tidying up, preparing food, cooking dinner and monitoring kids.

Preference is for a local candidate

Hi there
I'm currently looking for a casual nanny/babysitter to look after my 4 year old daughter Madeline on Thursday and Fridays during the day throughout January (while she is on school holidays), as well as evenings during the December period before Xmas.

Maddie is a fun, chatty and caring girl who is equally happy staying in and reading and playing make belief as she is outdoors climbing and being in nature. We would love a sitter who can take her out to do fun activities as well as keep her entertained during the day with lots of activities to engage her creativity.

Would love to hear if there is anyone available and interested and what your general rate is.

Thanks
Emily

We've recently moved to Mosman and I have two wonderful kids aged 4 and 8.

Our family is looking for a regular nanny / babysitter to help us out approx. 3 times a week with childcare (looking after kids, picking them up from school, keeping them occupied for a few hours on the weekend so the parents can focus on work and personal activities).

I have listed our preferred timings but happy to be flexible.

We would love someone kind, responsible and playful to join our family on a regular basis.

Cheers,

Hello!

We are looking for a responsible, experienced and caring part-time babysitter/nanny to help with our 2 year old for four hours this Thursday morning, as well as on an upcoming Saturday/Sunday during the daytime (can be flexible on the weekend day, but looking for someone for this Thursday morning!). We also have a 10 month old baby, but the care would be only for the toddler, and would not require you to watch both children at the same time (at least not right now).

We are looking for someone who can provide care in the morning for our two year old so Mum can take the baby out to an appointment this week.

Ideally this person would also be available to contact for one off babysitter if they’re free in the future, including an upcoming weekend day before Christmas (either a Saturday or Sunday one weekend upcoming before Xmas)

The ideal person would be happy to spend the time engaging thoughtfully and creatively 1-on-1 with the toddler either inside or outside the home. This is not a role where a candidate is just ‘supervising’ the child, but truly engaging and entertaining her through doing different actives in the home (like drawing, singing, pretend play, reading etc) or taking her to the park and engage with her whilst she plays on the equipment or run around with her etc.

Looking for someone that ideally has experience with this age group, lives on the lower north shore or can commute here easily, and has a schedule that can accomodate this position.

Thank you and look forward to hearing from you :)
