- All vaccines are up to date

About us:
My name is Sophie (44) and my husband is Jacob (35). We welcomed our daughter, Valerie, in July this year after a very lengthy and complex fertility journey. She has been the little miracle we were hoping for and she is a ray of sunshine in our lives. Jacob and I are both passionate about family and friends, travel, healthy living and we enjoy our respective careers. We both work in hybrid roles (3 days in office, 2 days at home) so one of us will often be home working from the front office on alternating days.

Our home is a lovely light-filled and carefully curated space to spend the day, with a small back yard and lawn. Heating/cooling and well equipped kitchen for your use. Easy pram walks to plenty of local parks, cafes and ammenities nearby, too. We also have a Cavoodle puppy who you would be sharing the space with :)

We're looking for a nanny/regular babysitter for our two boys: Teddy (4) and Joey (6) two nights a week on either Wednesday, Thursday or Friday in Clifton Hill. Shifts would include pick up from school in Clifton Hill and kinder in Collingwood, dinner and bath. It would be great to hear from anyone who would enjoy looking after our two energetic boys.

Our two children are nearly six and eight years old. After many years with us, our current wonderful nanny is moving on. We are looking for a long-term nanny to become a new part of our family and help provide stability and security until the kids can travel to and from school independently. We value the important role of a nanny and the connection that is built with the children. This is a sole charge nanny and house manager position, for someone comfortable with occasions where one or both parents are working from home. We need:

We do not use screen-time during the week and have a gentle parenting style (or so others tell us!). Our household uses structure and routine to help the rhythm and flow of our family in a light-hearted way and we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Our ideal fit is someone with high emotional intelligence, who is calm, patient, caring and understanding with children, particularly during times of high emotions. They value children’s voices and opinions and can support them with co-regulation when needed. They see themselves as more than a babysitter, take pride in their important position in the lives of children and have open communication with parents. Essential: current WWCC, First Aid qualification, own car and driver’s license, two checkable references. Desirable: Certificate III or higher in childcare. Hourly rate is $40 for someone with demonstrable experience in a similar long-term role (at least five years). Initial rate $35 if lesser experience. Our start date is flexible.

We look forward to embracing our new nanny, with their own style and the unique qualities they will bring in to our family.

Hello,
We are looking for a caring, patient, and reliable carer to support our son, Artie.

Artie is a strong-minded, curious 4-year-old who loves the outdoors, books, boxes, water play, baking, and trains. He was born with a genetic neuro-developmental disorder and has global developmental delay. He is non-verbal, has cortical vision impairment (CVI), and low muscle tone, so he benefits from some additional support. Experience with children with additional needs is welcome but not essential—finding the right person who genuinely connects with Artie is most important to us.

Artie will be starting at a special school in Balwyn next year to support his communication needs. He has been wonderfully integrated into his mainstream kinder and childcare over the past four years, and we’re looking to ensure a smooth, positive transition.

What we’re hoping for -
We’re looking for someone who can assist with:
- Morning routines
- School drop-offs and pick-ups
- After-school support, including help with his therapy programs, until we are home from work around 6pm
- Light meal preparation and light housework
- Additional support during school holidays

Artie has a little sister, Mira (17 months), who will be in childcare during the week.

We are full-time working parents, and with our first child starting school, we’re hoping to find the right person to become a consistent, supportive presence in our family routine.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in, we’d love to hear from you.
