We are a family of four (from Camberwell) with two young children aged 2 and 4, plus a friendly small dog aged 10.

We’re looking for someone kind, reliable and proactive to help with the kids and general household tasks. This role would likely suit someone looking for some extra work alongside study, another job, or flexible casual hours.

Tasks may include:
- Playing with and entertaining the children, including setting up age-appropriate activities
- Assisting with morning routines (getting dressed, brushing teeth, hair, etc.)
- Helping navigate the occasional sibling disagreement!
- Assisting with preparing breakfast or dinner and encouraging the kids to help clean up afterwards
- Setting up the children’s bedrooms for bedtime
- Laundry and folding
- General tidying and household support
- Helping involve the children in pack-up and cleaning routines where possible
- Ad hoc household help such as unpacking the dishwasher or washing dishes

Please note:
We already have a regular cleaner and a robot vacuum, so no heavy-duty cleaning is required. However, we are looking for someone happy to help keep the household running smoothly alongside caring for the children. For example, if the children are out of the house during part of your shift, we would appreciate help with tidying toys, folding laundry, or resetting kids’ spaces.

Hours:
Exact hours are still being finalised, but shifts will likely include:
- Early mornings before kinder/daycare
- Evenings after we get home
- Possibly some daytime hours on Wednesdays and weekends

We’re flexible and happy to work around your availability, though some early morning or evening availability is essential. Shifts will generally be around 2–3 hours, with some longer occasional shifts on weekends and Wednesdays.

We (Laura, Marc, Henry (6y) , Rosie (4y) and Georgie (18m)) are looking for a kind, caring, gentle, loving and fun nanny to help our family out on a Tuesday each week from 7:30am - 5:30pm.

A typical day will look like:

7:30am - Arrive into chaos, but also sleepy morning hugs. Hopefully the kids are dressed and eating breakfast, but maybe not. Tag team with Laura and Marc as they go off to exercise and work. Ensure Henry is ready for school (lunchbox etc) , and the girls are dressed and ready to drop him off.

8:20am - Drive to school, drop Henry off with high fives ready for an 8:50am school start

8:50am - 3pm - Spend the day with Rosie and Georgie - Arts and crafts, baking, library visits, trips to the zoo/park, or play it by feel/mood. Georgie is still on 2 naps, Rosie can have a little bit of gentle TV in the middle of the day to give you some space to eat / help with some folding / throw some ingredients into the slow cooker for dinner or just recalibrate yourself and the house depending on the days activities.

3pm - Drive to school to pick Henry up with the girls.

4pm-5:30pm - Henry and Rosie usually play to catch up on the day, then bath the kids, and a little dinner prep would be appreciated. Laura or Marc will then be home and takeover. You may have arrived into chaos, but hopefully you leave in calm :)

About us: We like the simple things in life, we try to parent gently, we would appreciate a nanny who understands and is patient with the ever changing emotions of a developing brain, we validate emotions while also set appropriate boundaries.

In our spare time we love to go camping, gardening, baking, spending time with family and friends, exploring rock pools, exercise is a big part of the adult routines, the kids do swimming and AusKick.

Henry loves nature, arts and crafts especially drawing and adores school. Rosie loves imaginative play, dressing up and going to the library and shops, Georgie loves helping, climbing, animals and emptying out the kitchen cupboards! There is a lot of love between the siblings and only fairly minor fights, Henry and Rosie can play for hours. They love Georgie fiercely, Rosie on occasion a little too much and is very protective of her family :)

About you: We would love someone who has heaps of common sense, uses initiative, is good at cooking and baking, generous with their hugs and love, happy to get on the floor and play, while we understand the need for breathers and breaks if the kids are having some downtime, we would also love a little help with hanging out a wash load, folding some clothes etc but this is secondary to the kids care and attention.

Extra Context: I (Laura) have just got a new job and the hours, etc are still a little up in the air, there may be additional shifts available e.g. a morning or evening, and casual babysitting if there is interest. But our core requirement is a reliable Tuesday full day shift. We would like someone close-by to help with this flexibility. I may be working from home on the Tuesday, but preferably at the office. I will try to keep myself hidden as Georgie can be clingy if I am around, but she is completely fine when I'm not!
