My family and I have just returned to Australia after 8 years living in NYC. I have 3 kids 5,3 and 8 months. I will be returning to full time work in September and my husband runs his own business so we are looking for someone to join our family full time to help with the kids. This would include caring for Polly (7months) 5 days a week, Gilly 3 days (he will go to daycare 2 days a week), and Heidi 2 days a week (she is in Kinder 3 days) but will need picking up at 4pm. In addition to this we would love help with tidying the kids things, washing their clothes and helping with some meal prep.

Hi, I’m looking for a warm, bubbly, and patient babysitter with experience in disability. We have a gorgeous neurodivergent boy (autistic/ADHD/Intellectual Disability) who is 7 and developmentally around 2 years old. He is nonspeaking, very active, and has a lovely happy temperament. He loves any movement-based activities to keep him entertained and regulated. So you need to be fit! He is also very quick so needs to be shadowed constantly. The right person will be someone who doesn’t mind being on their feet all the time - as my boy runs around constantly and requires long walks in the pram each day.
We are looking for 2 people - one person to help a couple of times through the week after school (3-7pm), and one person who can also help on either Saturdays or Sundays. The role involves picking him up from school, feeding, supervising and playing with him at home, taking him out to the park, nappy changes, and bath time. He has no sense of danger so does require us to be constantly supervising to keep him safe. This role will require having a reliable car.

Please feel free to ask any questions at all!
