Paddington couple looking for another pair of hands (and eyes!) to help with our girls aged 15, 14 and 12 (who attend Ascham) and boy aged 5 who starts school across the road next year.
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, 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.
Mondays to Thursdays are our afternoons of greatest need (4-8pm), but we would happily accept help after school all five weekdays.
We also need occasional sitting for evening events mid-week or on weekends.
Permanent residents only please because we want someone who can stay with us 2+ years. Thanks
We are looking for a nanny for our cheeky little two year old boy.

I will be working from home separately but would love someone who’s happy with getting out with the pram, or using our car to find some fun things to do! He’s an active little bubba so needs equal nurturing and high energy 😅
As a previous nanny myself, I’d love someone to really become a more permanent part of our family life.
Mum is also pregnant with number 2 so there will be opportunity down the road for both children (but in the distant future for now!).
PM me with any questions and your CV. Sorry but no Working Holiday Visas or Holiday Visas.
We’re hoping to meet with people over the next two weeks or so for a Monday 26th May start (with hopefully a half day prior with me to help settle you in).
