Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Strathfield NSW

I’m looking for a nanny to come to our home for a few hours per week to engage with my children in a hands-on, playful, and educational way. The ideal person will have a background in early childhood education and be confident setting up age-appropriate activities that support learning and development.

I’m after someone who can truly connect with the kids—playing with them, guiding them through creative and stimulating experiences like sensory play, basic science experiments, storytelling, and games. This role is more than just supervision; I’ll be home during this time, so I’m seeking someone who can take the lead in enriching their day through fun, purposeful play.

Eventually, once there is a mutual trust and connection, hours and days may increase.

It’s important to us to find someone with the right mix of skill and heart—someone who will make a positive and lasting impact on our children.

Our wonderful nanny, who has been with us for 2.5 years, is finishing her nursing degree this year and we’re looking for someone to take over from her.

We have 4 kids (~11/8/7/2) and are located on the boarder of Ashfield and Summer Hill. The morning (~ 7-9am) routine involves supervising them getting their breakfast, helping them get dressed and ready for school, and driving/walking them to school. In the afternoons (~ 3-6:30/7pm) it’s school pickup, afternoon activities (e.g. ferrying the kids to activities or taking them for a play at the park), dinner prep and supervising bath time. One of us will make it home from work before the bed time routine starts.
We would prefer someone with prior nannying experience, but more importantly we need someone who is responsible, reliable, and is happy to take initiative. Most importantly we’d like for you to engage with the kids and be able to ride the wave of the occasional chaos that is created by four loud, confident (and fiercely independent) kids! It’s (mostly) lots of fun!!

Flexibility with days and finish/start times is appreciated - the shifts can change a little from week to week (depending on my roster). We are also willing to work around you too if you need (with placements, exams, family commitments etc.) There is also opportunity to do 1 or 2 long days/week to stay at home with our littlest of that works for you.

Flexible start date - could be as early as Oct 2025, but definitely by Jan 2026.

We look forward to hearing from you!

We’re looking for a friendly and reliable person to help with our afternoon routine for our three lovely kids. (13,10,8) on Monday and Tuesdays 3pm-6pm.

You would collect our kids from their primary school and provide fun supervision for the afternoon. You would need to be able to make kid friendly dinners (eg spag bol, tacos), do a load of laundry and a bit of a tidy up.

We both work full time, and we're a bit disorganised as a family, so we need someone that likes things being in order, and can be proactive in helping out on that front.

You would need a licence and a safe car to drive short trips of 5km for school pick up, and to/from from netball.

Please get in touch if it sounds like a good fit. We hope to hear from you!

Hi, my name is Laura and I’m looking for a casual babysitter to do casual half days on Tuesday or Friday for my beautiful daughter (not bias) who is 9 months old.

We have a dog so would need someone who is okay with animals. We have a 3 bedroom terrace in Annandale. Please message me if you’re interested. Thanks!

Hi, We are looking for a caring and reliable nanny to look after our 3 and a half year old son who is very active and loves being outdoors.

We would like an active nanny who is energetic and playful. Someone who likes to spend time outdoors, running around and comfortable with climbing play equipment at parks. I'll be accompanying you during outings and activities, and I'm looking for someone who can be both supportive and proactive when we're out and about together.

Please let me know if you’re available and interested.

Hi there, we have a nearly 1 year old boy called Julian. He can’t quite look after himself yet, so we’re looking to connect with potential people to help him out every now and then!

We are generally looking to connect with people for ad hoc evening work, mainly on Thurs/Fri/Sat evenings, probably once or twice a month.

We also have a small cavoodle who doesn’t require care but wouldn’t say no to some cuddles and pats every now and then - so you must be ok with dogs!

We are located in Alexandria.

We are looking for a friendly and reliable babysitter for our 7 year old son on some Wednesday afternoons (around 4:30pm to 7:30pm). You'd take him to his local soccer games and prepare a simple dinner or snack. Someone who enjoys sports, particularly soccer, would be a great fit, but not a must. Times are a little flexible, and we will have extra babysitting opportunities.
