Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Marrickville, NSW

Hi we are looking for an au pair/nanny for three months. In lovely Dulwich Hill. We live right near Marrickville Road so easy for transport, lots of cafes and a great library. I am going to America for work on the 4th February for two and a half months. My husband will be directing full time on a TV show in Sydney so will be working full time. We are looking for someone who can care for our daughter Ruby (13). We would like the person to move in (our place in Dulwich Hill has a self-contained granny flat with washing machine, kitchen, internet etc) It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It is fully renovated, very clean and has its own entrance. We are still furnishing the 2nd bedroom but it is quite a good size too. We’re offering $500-600 per week as a wage with free rent. Depending on hours. It will be five mornings from 7:30-9 and after school and some evenings. We think approx hours a week will be 25-30. Basically, the person needs to be flexible. A police check and references would be a bonus. And to be vaccinated. The main tasks will be in the morning, helping get Ruby out the door, making a healthy school lunch (she then catches the school bus) and tidying the house - and being home in the afternoon when she returns to help with any homework - and just to have someone around so that she’s not on her own every afternoon. If my husband is working at night, it would be great to help Ruby prepare dinner. The person/people need to love dogs. We have three dogs - Pocket, Luna and Mini. Mini and Luna are rescue pups and a little crazy. They calm down when they know you. The person should be able to feed the dogs and sometimes hang out with them. We are getting a dog walker. Encouraging Ruby to read, pack the dishwasher, do her washing, exercise and tidy her room will be a part of it, basically being a great big sister/mentor who is fun and positive to be around. On Monday Ruby does math tutoring and on Tuesday English, and on Thursdays she catches the bus to dance but the person would need to pick her up at 7:30pm in Marrickville if my husband has to work back. We are happy to pay for an Uber on those occasions. We have a cleaning lady but some light housework would be involved – just tidying up really before cleaner comes/ packing the dishwasher, putting clothes on to wash and to dry. And once a week shopping for groceries. We would like an outgoing, honest, kind person. Ruby is really into dance and music. Supervising her with homework is a must. She is a great thoughtful girl who loves to laugh. Thanks really look forward to hearing from you.

Looking for a special someone to pick up our 2 boys, Alex 11, and Sam 9 from school 3-4 days per week. Alex is staring high school this year 150m from our house and will most likely bring himself home and Sam will need meeting at International Grammar school in broadway at 3pm. Looking for a calm, consistent, caring and friendly person who will enjoy hanging out with them and help facilitate homework, various after school activities. Look forward to hearing from you, Julia

Hi there we’re a friendly family looking for a nanny 3 days a week (wed, thurs & friday) for our 2 kids: 4yr boy and 1 yr girl in Stanmore. Someone caring, reliable, flexible and experienced ideally with first aid, WWCC and vaccinated. Someone who can play with them at home, in the garden, take them for walks and to the local park, able to keep up with an energetic 4yr old and settle the 1yr old to sleep is a bonus! Parents both work from home so are available if needed, but can keep out of the way if best. Our eldest also spends some time with his grandparents so won’t be home for some half days. If you are interested please message with your experience and some info about you, happy to hear also if you can only do 1 or 2 days. We are looking forward to welcoming someone into our family that we can connect with on an ongoing basis, so handy if you’re in the inner west or nearby. Thanks!

My kids Theodore (4 yrs old in feb) & Harriet (1.5 years) are normal little kids that both love doing activities and having fun.

They go to daycare mon-wed so are well socialised. Please let me know if you would like any more info. Thanks Sara

Hi, we are looking for someone fun and loving to look after our 2 boys - ages 6 and 9 - for three afternoons per week (3 pm - 6.30). Our house is walking distance to school - so we just need someone to pick them up and bring them home, walk them down to football training etc and get them dinner (which I have tended to organise beforehand). Sadly our babysitter who has been with us for 3 years now has clashes with her studies - we loved her very much! The boys are active, easy-going and polite. Great job for those who need extra hours while studying etc. Thanks!!

Our lovely nanny has sadly just relocated to the northern beaches. We are looking for a nanny to join the chaos of our household two nights per week from 3pm to 8pm on Tues / Thurs. We have three beautiful girls aged 5, 8 and 10 that need to be picked up after school / music lessons. We are within walking distance to the local school (Erskineville Public), but I'm happy for the car to be used to pickup the children in the event of wet weather. Responsibilities include; * Helping the kids with homework, playing, having fun * Negotiating room clean up * Helping to prep dinner. * Getting the kids into the bath /shower and pyjamas. * Some light house duties include cleaning up after dinner and helping me fold the never ending cycle of laundry. Must have previous references, be vaccinated and be willing to work with loud, fun, energetic kids and become part of the family. Looking forward to hearing from you!

My wife and I both work full time and are looking for a casual babysitter to look after our son when he is unable to attend day care because of illness (cold etc).

We live in a terrace in up the South Everleigh end of Alexandria which has an outdoor area and there area parks within a couple of hundred metres to play in.

Our family is in need of a nanny for our sweet 5 month old baby boy, Oscar (6 months by start date). Ideally someone near Leichhardt who is experienced, reliable, trustworthy and fun. We both work mostly from home and so will be close by most of the time. We’re wanting someone to be able to give Oscar their full attention to play, read, go on walks, feed, cuddle and put him down for naps, while we work. (Mum runs her own company and dad is in consulting) It would be ideal that you can be flexible with times and days (as we can be), available for occasional night time babysitting/appointments and open to domestic travel if needed. Hoping for 2 mornings per week to start (10am - 2pm approx, Tuesday’s and flexible for either Wednesday or Thursday), building onto this as we all become more comfortable — you’ll be his first ever carer other than his parents. We’d love someone happy to do light housekeeping during any naps, small errands, shopping etc (when on walks). We have a large but very friendly Labrador, so dog lover a must. It would be a bonus if you speak Italian or another language and love music. If you think you'd be a good match, please apply.

*Morning days are a bit flexible so please still contact me if you are interested. My name is Joanna, & I am looking for a nanny for my 12 yr o daughter Evie for about 2 – 2.5 hrs for 3 mornings before school as I leave very early at 6.30am. She walks to nearby Randwick Girls High, so the position is for preparing breakfast, making lunch & recess, getting clothes ready, tidying up etc. And then on 4 afternoons a week from 5pm – 7pm, to prepare her dinner, wash lunch boxes, encourage homework :) , tidy up etc. I work in the film industry and I am on a contract until end August, but I work freelance so I always have the same ongoing childcare requirements. Our nannies tend to stay with us until their own situation changes & other careers or business takes off. I am completely supportive of time needed for uni exams, auditions etc and will always be able to work something out. I am looking for someone very caring, friendly & understanding as Evie has high-functioning ASD, & although she is very clever and articulate, she can get distracted and sometimes needs a lot of prompting :) We also have a very friendly & affectionate cat! This position starts from Monday 14th February. Fully vaccinated please. If you are interested please contact me. cheers, Joanna
