I’ve got two little boys (3 years old and 5 months old) and I’m looking for a nanny to help out two days a week. I’m heading back to work after maternity leave and need a hand during my busy hours—roughly 4–5 hours a day.
If the boys are napping or keeping themselves entertained, it’d be awesome to have a bit of help with some light housework (only if time allows, of course!).
Would love someone with experience looking after young kids around this age.

We need someone comfortable to assist with our 2 boys for 5hrs . We prefer the caregiver to come to our home, as that's what works best for our family's schedule.

Hi babysitters! We're looking for someone to help out for a few hours regularly on the weekends with our 2 girls aged 4 and 1. We can be flexible with day and time. My husband and I are both around, we just need an extra pair of hands so we can get a few things done!
Our last beautiful babysitter was with us for 3 years while she completed her degree and she really became like part of the family, so we're hoping to find someone reliable who can commit to regular hours each week and will be with us long-term. There will be opportunities for extra hours on school holidays, again we can be pretty flexible with days and times and are happy to work around uni and other job commitments.
The position will initially be mostly helping out with our 4-year-old - she loves to do arts and crafts, read, board games and puzzles and play outside. We have a great backyard and several parks within walking/scooting distance. As our 1-year-old gets a bit older there is also the potential for additional hours helping out with her during the week. We're looking for someone who is fun, kind, patient, helpful and reliable who wants to build a genuine connection with our girls. If this sounds like you or you have any questions we'd love to hear from you 😊
