Hi there!
We live in Richmond, though it's more like Cremorne, and we have a baby who is 7 weeks old (as at December 21) and a son who is 3.5. I'm looking for someone to arrive early - 6am - on his daycare days (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) and help me get him ready for daycare and then walk him up to daycare. Depending on experience with babies, I'd also like it if you can hold the baby for me while I do jobs in the house or I could take my son to daycare instead some days while you hold the baby at home. Once my son is dropped at daycare, I'm hoping you can come back to our house and do an hour or two of housework including clothes washing or dish washing. The morning job would be about 6am - 10am.
In the evening, we're hoping someone can pick my son up from daycare, walk back to our house, and help me get dinner organised before bathing my son and prepping him for bed. The evening would be about 5pm - 7:30pm.
If interested, we could meet at our house and have a chat. Police check, working with children's check and first aid essential. Thank you! Alexis

We are looking for a trusted and reliable nanny that would be able to look after our son (9 years old) after school (Wed-Thurs 3-7pm). The job would include picking him up from school which is walking distance from our house, supervising homework and helping prepare evening meals. There may be a need to take/collect him from after school sports training, so an openness to driving would be ideal.

We are a friendly family with three children aged 6, 9 and 11, and we’re looking for a reliable, energetic and caring person to support us during the school term.
The role involves collecting the children from school in Ascot Vale two afternoons per week (the specific days are semi-flexible while I finalise my work schedule) and returning home to Brunswick. Afternoons will include helping with homework, taking the children to sport and activities, playing with them, preparing very simple meals or snacks, and assisting with light laundry duties.
