• Experience with both newborns and toddlers
• Warm, energetic, and patient personality
• Comfortable around dogs
• Someone who can help our toddler get familiar with English before starting daycare
• Reliable and flexible, as the schedule might change after April

Please share your phone number that I can talk to you over the phone.

We are seeking a permanent nanny to care for our two children starting in November 2025.
We will be arriving in Sydney on 23rd/24th November. Both kids start school the week starting 13th Jan 2026. Based on this, we will need you for 35-40 hours every week until January 13th. After that, the schedule of morning drop-off and evening pick-up will take effect, which means fewer hours per week but regular hours. Additionally, we will appreciate your help during the holiday period. Although the total number of hours will vary, we will work with you a week in advance to ensure complete transparency and clear communication regarding your hours.

Looking for a responsible adult mother's helper to monitor 2 children (11 boy and 12 girl) and manage the house for two days a week (Mondays and Thursday) in the January school holidays when the parents are office-bound. The start and end times can vary and will generally include tidying up, preparing food, cooking dinner and monitoring kids. Need to be strong personality that will not be swayed by my far-too-clever, always-bored and work-every-angle son! This can progress to two afternoons a week in term time if it suits your schedule.
Preference is for a local candidate

We are looking for a nanny to help with school pick ups, driving to sports activities and looking after our two girls (10 and 12) in the afternoons. We have a puppy and, ideally, our nanny would also take the puppy for a walk and help out with light household duties before school pick up (eg putting on a load of laundry).

Ideal hours are: 1-6pm Monday to Thursday, but we are flexible and could agree longer / shorter hours. Hourly rate is negotiable.

The typical afternoon involves picking up the girls from school, and driving them home or to an after school activity; giving them afternoon tea; hanging out with them and helping with some light housework (eg putting on a load of washing, unpacking the dishwasher).

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 :)
