This is perhaps a different type of vacancy but we know that special someone is out there somewhere!

We are looking for a carer with nursing or support work qualifications and experience to assist our young teenager on weekends and some weekday afternoon/evenings. 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.

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.

Hi there :)

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.

BONUS: It will be great if you can help with laundry / ironing too.

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

Cheers,
Sadia

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 :)

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.

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 are seeking a permanent nanny to care for our two children starting in November 2025.
We will be arriving in Sydney on 23rd/24th November. Both kids start school the week starting 13th Jan 2026. Based on this, we will need you for 35-40 hours every week until January 13th. After that, the schedule of morning drop-off and evening pick-up will take effect, which means fewer hours per week but regular hours. Additionally, we will appreciate your help during the holiday period. Although the total number of hours will vary, we will work with you a week in advance to ensure complete transparency and clear communication regarding your hours.

Hello, we’re a family of four, living in Double Bay. We’re originally from London and I have a 5 year old at school and a 6 month old. The role would be to come every weekday before school, helping with the school run and breakfast, followed by nannying with the baby, and assisting me with/preparing dinner. It would be roughly 7.30am-3pm Monday - Thursday, and later into the evening on Fridays. But timings are all negotiable for the right candidate. The role will also include managing and organising the girls rooms and toys, and light housekeeping.

We’re looking for someone who will genuinely become part of the family as neither of us have family in Sydney. We’re warm, generous and really involved with our girls.

The role will include holiday pay, however, there is an expectation that we work together to take holidays at the same time that we travel, where possible. We travel back to Europe at least twice a year for a few weeks at a time. If you were to travel with us, there would be firstly no requirement to do so, but if you chose to, there would be additional pay.

As a full time role, we’re looking to pay approximately $70,000 p.a plus superannuation, for the right candidate.

Preference is for a local candidate
