✨ Nanny / House Manager – North Willoughby (Part-Time, Long-Term)

We are a family based in North Willoughby looking for an experienced nanny / house manager to support the smooth day-to-day running of our home.

We have one daughter (22 months old) and a friendly, medium-sized non-shedding dog. Our daughter attends daycare part-time, and we are flexible with her schedule to suit the right candidate.

This is a household management–focused role, ideal for someone who enjoys running an organised, efficient home and takes pride in maintaining a consistently high standard.

We have weekly cleaners, so no deep cleaning is required. Instead, we are looking for someone who can take ownership of the “in-between” tasks that keep everything running seamlessly—no job is too small.

Responsibilities include:
• Laundry, tidying, and maintaining a well-organised home
• Daily upkeep of key living areas (kitchen, living room, hallways, and play areas), including wiping down benchtops, countertops, tables, and keeping surfaces consistently clean and reset
• Grocery shopping and keeping household supplies stocked
• Managing and restocking items before they run out (e.g. dish soap, pantry items, baby supplies)
• Light food prep (e.g. boiling pasta, defrosting protein, making rice, chopping vegetables)
• Preparing and organising toddler meals
• Keeping daycare bag, pram bag, and car kit consistently stocked and ready
• Taking out garbage and general household upkeep
• Organising drawers, cupboards, wardrobes, and storage
• Running errands (groceries, returns, post office, etc.)
• Receiving deliveries and keeping the household running smoothly
• Maintaining a clean and safe outdoor space, including promptly picking up after the dog in the backyard if needed to ensure it remains suitable for a child to play in

We have a dog walker, however the candidate must be comfortable being around dogs and taking responsibility for maintaining a clean environment where needed.

This list is not exhaustive. Once core tasks are complete, there will always be opportunities to further organise, reset, or improve areas of the home, and we may also provide direction for additional tasks on quieter days.

The goal of this role is to keep the household running efficiently and proactively, allowing mum—who is often home—to focus on spending quality time with her daughter rather than managing house admin.

When our daughter is home, we are looking for someone warm, engaging, and confident with toddlers. However, this is not a role that is purely childcare-focused.

We are looking for someone who is:
• Proactive and takes initiative
• Highly organised and detail-oriented
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership
• Reliable and looking for a long-term role
• Professional during working hours, with minimal personal phone use

Position details:
• Part-time (days flexible for the right candidate)
• Long-term role
• Competitive hourly rate based on experience

If this sounds like a good fit, please DM me directly with your experience and availability—we’d love to hear from you.

Hello!
I’m a busy professional working Mum in need of some help looking after my children and running the house.

I have 3 children - G12, B10, B7.
Monday and Wednesday afternoons , 3-7pm.

Duties include:
- local school pickups
- driving to after-school activities

Our house is a busy and loving home. Our last amazing nanny was with us for 3 years.

Look forward to hearing from you if the role feels like a good fit,
Nina

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.

• 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

We’re looking for a kind, caring and reliable nanny to spend Fridays with our 8-month-old son, Otis. He’s a very gentle, happy little boy (we might be biased, but he really is the best), and we’re hoping to find someone who will enjoy spending time with him as much as he’ll enjoy being with you.

My husband Adam and I both work on Fridays, and while Otis attends daycare Monday to Wednesday, we’d love to keep Fridays a little more personal and relaxed at home with a dedicated nanny.

We’re also hoping to find someone who would be open to staying on one Friday evening a month for the occasional date night or dinner with friends. It would mean an extended day with Otis, and this extra time would include feeding him dinner, bathing him and putting him to bed.

We’re a friendly, easygoing family and really value having someone who feels like part of the family. We live in Edgecliff and also have a sweet dog called Penny. If you’re warm, dependable and love spending time with babies, we’d love to hear from you.

Looking for a carer to take my 9 year old daughter to her after-school activity on Wednesdays, total 3 hour shift (3-6pm).
