Hello! We are looking for the right person to become part of our household each week Monday-Wednesday from 3.30-(approx)6pm. There will also be a couple of mornings as well as the year progresses.

The successful candidate will be able to facilitate school pick up, afternoon tea, some after school commitments (including dance, swimming etc), get dinner started ... and some supervision and modelling of homework and study will be necessary!

On Thursdays we have another baby in the house which you would help look after too but there are adults around to support as much as required.

Would love to hear from you if this sounds like it could be a good fit.

Hi there! We are looking for someone who can be with our 1 year old daughter in an ongoing role. We are looking for someone who can commit to 2 regular mornings a week (preferably Mon & Wed but Thurs is also an option) from around 8:30am-1pm. Ideally we'd like someone who has had some experience looking after babies and feels comfortable: preparing age appropriate meals, going on small outings, young toddler play etc. Light cleaning duties include: wiping down highchair, packing up toys, cleaning up kitchen after eating etc. The start date is flexible but we are keen to lock someone in, so if this sounds of interest to you please get in touch :) Thanks! Talia (PS, WWCC & first aid preferred but not mandatory, ideally the applicant would be willing to do a first aid refresher provided by us)

We are looking for a long term nanny (at least a year, although would consider 6 months if you had a lot of flexibility) for a 3 and 5 year old. They will both attend kinder and school next year 8:30-3:15 so the job involves before and after school care on different days. This would be three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon on different days: Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning, Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon. Date nights and weekend shifts always available although we wouldn’t expect it.

Looking for someone who is kind and energetic, and who has initiative. Experience with, and a genuine love of, children is essential. We’re looking for someone who is honest, trustworthy and reliable, and who will engage with our children. We approach this like a team and have had excellent relationships with our last two Nannies.

Both children are active and happy little people who love socialising. It's important that you're comfortable driving (you'll drive our car) as there is drop off and pick up and a few activities (eg gymnastics, Prahran market, etc). Some are within walking distance but otherwise you'll likely use the car at least once a day (to do kinder pick up).

The role involves some house keeping before or after drop off (clothes washing and folding, unloading groceries) and food preparation.
We have a cleaner so the role doesn't require any deep cleaning - just keeping the house tidy and cleaning up as you go.

If this sounds of interest to you, please get in touch. We’d love to hear from you!
