Hi, I’m looking for someone that will look after the kids and care for them whilst I have a quick break of three kids and go to the gym on weekends

We are a young, friendly couple looking for a caring, energetic, and experienced nanny to join our family and help care for our 18-month-old son.

**About the Role:**

* Care for our 18-month-old son 2 days a week (daytime hours) flexible with days
* Help with age-appropriate activities and development
* Light housework and simple meal prep
* Experience with newborns is essential, as we’re expecting our baby girl in December
* Opportunity for increased hours once the baby arrives

- Has strong experience with infants/toddlers (feeding, naps, play, walks)
- Enjoys engaging in age-appropriate learning and activities
- Maintains a safe, tidy, and calm environment
- Is warm, patient, and confident with young children

Weekend availability is a bonus. We offer a welcoming and supportive home, and hope to find someone who will feel like an extended part of our family.

Very independent 20 month old who loves to play and explore. Duties may include cooking/preparing afternoon tea and dinner, trips to the park, picking up big brother from school, getting ready for bed and some light cleaning on occasion.

What’s involved:

What we’re after:
- Experience with children and a genuine love for kids

- Able to commit to casual work with varying hours
- Great communication.

Hi There,

We are a family of four, my wife (Nidhi), our daughter (Saara), our dog (Chikoo) and myself.

We are based out of Macleod, about 15km north east of Melbourne city. My wife is currently living away in Sydney as she is doing her three years studies which she started in January this year. Hence the need for me to have someone to take care of Saara as an elder sister.

I have a background in IT (Cyber Security) and also have a growing business in my spare time as my long term plan. Saara is mostly independent as an 11 yrs old and your work would mainly be around helping her as a elder sister / friend along with basic household chores. You get pocket money, a separate ensuite, food, internet, Netflix, Disney+, Prime etc etc. As yet we have had 3 AuPairs and it has been a wonderful experience for both sides.

If you are a student completing your studies, we can work on a schedule to make sure you can balance your time accordingly. If this is something you are looking for, I am keen to hear from you and get to the details.

Thanks
Kapil
