Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Scotland Island NSW

Hello!

We’re coming home to Sydney for the holidays and need an amazing kind high energy local female nanny who can help us take care of our 10 month old son.
We cannot bring our nanny over from the USA, so we are looking for someone very experienced, who has a childcare education background, or has extensive experience working with babies and toddlers.
First aid and drivers license essential.

Our son is a very happy and very active baby, needs stimulation (active and resting play time, books, creative adventures, music, walks). Must be flexible and okay working long hours. Some days we might take him out for both lunch and dinner and to spend time with family, some days you will be with him the full 24hrs. We will mainly be in Palmy but East for part of the time as well.

Need to by physically strong as our baby is a big strong guy! You don’t need to do full housework, just cleaning up the baby spaces and kitchen after cooking for him etc. Must be able to prepare milk bottles and cook basic fresh food (he eats very clean organic simple meals).

Above all - looking for someone very loving who can help us across the few weeks we are in town.

Dates are roughly December 5 - Dec 28.

Rates negotiable depending on experience.

***Not looking for casual babysitters who have other full time jobs - just childcare educators or childcare workers, or you have had minimum 5+ years working with babies. Please only reply if you have the necessary experience :)

Thank you ☺️

Babysitter/Nanny Needed – Ongoing Role

I’m looking for a reliable, energetic babysitter to help with my three boys (3, 2, and 9 months). This is an ongoing role with stable hours and room to increase pay for the right fit.

Hours
– Mondays and Tuesdays, from 4 to 8 hours each day
– Occasional extra days if available
– Occasional weekend evening help with bedtime
– Trial period: you will not be left alone with the boys at first, but that is the long-term goal once trust is built

Tasks
– General childcare (nappies, bottles, meals, play, settling)
– Light cleaning and tidying
– Basic cooking for the kids
– Keeping them engaged without screens
– Helping maintain a calm, organised routine in a small granny-flat setup

Requirements
– Must love kids and be confident with babies and toddlers
– Energetic, creative, and patient
– First aid preferred
– Driver’s licence helpful for emergencies or errands
– Good communication skills (English doesn’t need to be perfect)

Notes
– Not looking for someone to replace me — just support so I can work
– I’m looking for long-term reliability and someone the boys can bond with

We’re a warm, busy family of five: mum, dad, two lively kids, and our sweet 9-month-old baby, Zoe. We’re looking for a caring babysitter to help for two weeks, Monday to Friday, roughly 10am–2pm.

Both mum and dad will be working from home during this time, so we’d love someone who can give Zoe their attention, for example playing with her, feeding her, taking her out for little walks, and enjoying her cheerful company. She usually has a nap around midday too, so there will be some quiet time.

If you’re friendly, reliable, and enjoy spending time with babies, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re a family in Frenchs Forest with a 16-month-old daughter. We’re looking for an experienced, caring babysitter 2–6 pm, 2–3 days a week to play with her and plan simple, age-appropriate activities after her nap, giving my mum (who lives with us) a break.

Requirements:
• Experience with toddlers (1–2 years old)
• Working With Children Check (WWCC)
• First Aid / CPR
• Warm, patient, and reliable

If you enjoy spending time with young children and are available in the afternoons, we’d love to hear from you!

I am looking for a capable and mature babysitter/ nanny. My son is in primary school and pretty independant. This role will include school pick ups, car and drivers licence required. Supervising homework, playing games, doing creative activities, prepping simple kids meals and tidying up after activities. For now I am looking for a regular commitment Wednesday and Thursday afternoons into evenings with the opportunity for additional casual babysitting on weekends and during school holidays.
This role would suit a uni student as there is time when my son is occupied or asleep where you can easily get some uni work done.

Hi. Visiting my family from the USA. My son is here and he is only 2. We have a few events coming up and would need a sitter for my son Seth. He is 2. We’re only in town a month.

We are looking for someone kind and patient to look after our two little boys (8 & 10 years). Afternoon snack, homework, bath and basic meal prep. I work from home so no need for pickup. We are 1200 m from train station. Sadly we have outgrown our beautiful nanny of 6 years who we first also found here.

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.

We are looking for a nanny for our very loving and friendly daughter, Anna, who turns 3 years in March 2026. We pay $30-35 cash-in-hand. We can be flexible on start date (even Jan 2026 is OK). Anna sleeps 2 hours (12:30-2:30pm) each day. We are looking for someone who is keenly focused on teaching Anna and doing educational activities and outings with her (e.g. zoo, museum).

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 from 10am - 5pm doing a few hours of nannying with the baby, and then preparing dinner, cleaning and housekeeping for the second half of the day. Once a week on a weekend, there would be evening babysitting with both girls.

There is potential for the role to be bigger and include a PA to my husband who is CEO of a tech company for the right candidate.

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 :)
