Looking for a babysitter/nanny/mother’s helper that is patient, kind, energetic and playful to assist mum with 8week old baby girl and 4 year old son after school and evenings between 4-8pm.
We are a new family of four, with our 4 year old son and our 9 week old baby. My husband works full time but very long hours and often has to host clients in the evenings and some weekends, while I'm still on maternity leave.
Our 4 year old son is full of energy. He loves being outside, especially on the trampoline, at a playground or kicking a soccer ball around. He is obsessed with monster trucks, Spider-Man and super Mario but also loves painting, drawing and arts and crafts!
Our daughter is a true second born and is pretty chilled and goes with the flow (fingers crossed it stays that way ha-ha!).
We embrace silliness and dancing around the house and believe that a cuddle and laughter solves everything but understanding rules, boundaries and using manners is very important!
We're seeking someone who not only assists us with looking after our children but also becomes a cherished part of our family.
As my husband works many evenings, we are looking for someone who can assist me three days a week between 4-8pm. You'd mostly be my second pair of hands as I will be home..
Ideally, it'll be assisting with my 4 year old after daycare or kinder and helping with some activities while I prepare dinner (or assisting with dinner if both kids are needing mummy).. Then after dinner I'll require help with bathing my son while I feed the baby, and then swapping with me to look after baby and put her to sleep while I read stories and put my son to bed. In time, once my son gets comfortable, it would be great if his bedtime is also something you can do.
I'm looking for someone with initiative and sees things that needs to be done and just does it in spare time, like washing bottles and sterilising them, folding washing, tidying/reorganising the play room for optimal play conditions or even just finding new ways to engage my son and help wind down when his energy gets too much before bed!
We value energy, creativity, and a passion for learning through play. If you're someone who embraces silliness but also understands the importance of quiet moments, you might be the perfect fit for us.
