We are a family of 4 living in Hawthorn East. My husband and I have a 8 yr old son and a 1 yr old son. We are searching for a caring person to help us with our morning school routine with our son and toddler. We would like help with school drop off in the morning for our 8 yr old son from Mon-Thurs.

Hi,

We're a busy family in Hawthorn East looking for a reliable, organised nanny to help us during the week. We have three children, a 10-year-old (turning 11 in September) and 8-year-old twins, all in primary school.

What we need help with:

- General household organising and tidying, including vacuuming upstairs (downstairs is handled by our robot vacuum) and wiping down surfaces, to keep the home running smoothly
- Laundry : washing, drying, folding and putting away
- School pick-up (one school only. the other is covered by family)
- Helping the kids with homework and their after-school routine

Deep cleaning is handled by our regular cleaner and meal prep is taken care of by family, so this role is focused on tidying, light cleaning, laundry, the children and homework.

Hours: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 12pm–6pm (6 hours per day, ~18 hours per week). Housework in the earlier part of the day, then school pick-up and the kids in the afternoon.

Ideal person: warm, patient and dependable with primary-aged children, confident supporting homework, with a current driver's licence and comfortable with school pick-up. Tidy and proactive around the house.

Thank you!

We have two young daughters – a 4-month-old baby who will be at home during the day and a 2.5-year-old who attends daycare. The role primarily involves caring for our baby during the day, preparing our toddler’s dinner before daycare pick-up, and then managing the evening routine for both children.

* Quiet play, books and winding down before bed (we are typically home for bed time)

Our car is generally available for daycare pick-up, or the daycare is approximately a 5–10 minute walk from our home.

Household management

An important part of this role is helping us keep the household organised and tidy while the children are settled.

We have a regular cleaner but we would love someone who is happy to assist with the day-to-day tasks that help a busy household run smoothly, including:

* Laundry
* Loading and unloading the dishwasher, and keeping the kitchen tidy
* General tidying and resetting the house at the end of each day including children rooms and play areas, and unpacking / repacking daycare bag

* Warm, caring and patient
* Highly reliable and punctual
* Experienced caring for babies and young children
* Able to provide references from previous families, with prior infant experience strongly preferred
