Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Newtown NSW

Hi there, we are looking for a warm and caring nanny for our 6 month old on Tuesdays + occasional evening babysitting, starting now at 8 hours with me at home working in a different room, then when I go back to work in May will be 10.5-12 hours (7:30am to 6-7:30pm). Myself and husband are both doctors so we can sometimes get stuck at work, so would need to be able to be a bit flexible about finishing time.

Located Erskineville, close to St Peter's station and bus stops, as well as Sydney park.

Must have WWCC, police check and recent CPR training. We have a 4.5kg Pomeranian so must be comfortable with dogs, and our son has just had a mild allergic reaction to walnuts so need to be educated on allergy management (though we can help train you with this).

Pay $35/hour or $40 if you have qualifications/significant experience. There's a chance our friend would be interested in nanny sharing starting in a few months time in which case we would pay more if that's something you'd be interested in. If you speak a second language please let me know for bonus points!

Hello,

We have three children 9, 7 and 4. I'm looking for an experienced babysitter/nanny (10 years+ preferred) to do school pick up and drop off a couple of days a week.

Ideally the person will love kids, take initiative and is used to a busy family environment. We also have a 12-year-old dog named Sadie (Kelpie Poodle), so would need to be used to pets.

Thanks

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.

About the role:
• Caring for for our son
• Being present and engaged -singing, reading, playing and supporting his development
• Taking him out to activities such as swimming lessons, baby sensory classes, and walks
• Preparing simple baby meals and light baby-related tidying
• Light household help such as folding laundry, unpacking the dishwasher, and general tidying

We do have a cleaner, so we’re just looking for someone happy to help with small day-to-day tasks rather than deep cleaning.

I’ll also be working from home some days, so I’ll occasionally be around the house.

About our home:
• Located in Redfern
• 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
• Comfortable taking a baby out to local activities
• Happy to help with light household tasks
• Interested in a longer-term role

If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you. Please send a message with a little about yourself and your experience. 😊

We are a family of three and a friendly cavoodle. We are looking for an evening carer on weekdays from 6-9pm to assist us with our 3yo daughter (food, playtime, bath and bedtime). Starting this month. If you’re interested please contact us here. We would love to discuss this further with you and are open to organising trial shifts. Thank you, Catharina & Rajat

Hello Sitters!

We are a family of four in Surry Hills, a great location right near buzzing Crown Street and the lightrail stop. There is Jacqui (myself) and husband Alex, energetic and delightful 2.5 year old Nico, and gorgeous sleepy little 3 week old girl Mila. I’m on maternity leave and Alex currently works long hours. We have some extended family around but are looking to build our village.

Your role: to help me with the home and kids while Alex is at work - a regular 2 weekdays, approximately 5.30/6pm to 9/9.30pm. Flexibility is valued as this could turn into the odd extra ad hoc day, or extra hours on the weekend from time to time. Duties would be variable, mainly involving helping with our evening routine (play, dinner, bath, bedtime), perhaps keeping the toddler occupied while I settle the baby or prepare dinner (or vice versa). A light tidy up and reset at the end of the evening is part of the role: putting away toys, wipe down of surfaces, occasionally putting the kids clothes away, loading the dishwasher.

It’s important that you don’t mind dogs as we have a large, friendly (non shedding) groodle who is inside and part of the family. An optional part of your duties might be taking him outside for a quick walk before you go.

If all of this suits, would be lovely to meet. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Sitters,

I’m looking for a casual babysitter to help care for my 10-month-old daughter in Surry Hills.
Care will be on an as-needed basis so I can attend errands and appointments, as family support isn’t always available and we’d like to build some additional support.
I’m ideally looking for a mature, calm, and reliable babysitter who is confident with infants and has recent, long-term experience caring for babies. Experience in a nannying/babysitting role and/or caring for your own children would be highly valued.

Requirements:
• Valid Working With Children Check (required)
• Current First Aid & CPR (required)
• National Police Check (preferred)
• Recent, long-term infant care experience (required)
• A nurturing, responsible, and safety-focused approach to care

Hours & Pay:
• Care will generally be booked for a min. of 3 hours per shift, can range from daytime and evenings weekdays or weekends
• The listed rate is a starting point — happy to pay a higher rate depending on experience and qualifications

I’d love to arrange a meet-and-greet prior to any care to ensure we’re a good fit.

If this sounds like a good match, I’d love to hear from you.
