Nanny Wanted

We are a family of four (Nick, 38; Olivia, 36; and our children, 20 months and 2 months old) looking for a reliable, mature, and caring nanny to help on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 AM to 5 PM. We both work from home running our own business. We have dogs on our property, however are always kept outside and there is no need or expectation to interact with them.

Duties include:

Primary care for our 20-month-old son (meal prep, feeding, playtime)

Moderate assistance for our 2-month-old daughter (settling, taking her out for walks)

Light household tasks (cleaning, tidying, folding clothes)

Children’s needs will always be the priority.

We are looking for someone who can manage the kids with the same love and care we do.

Hello, I am looking for a nanny who could assist with drop off and pick up, and evening help 1 to 2 nights a week, occasional weekend help during the day or evening.

We are looking for a new regular babysitter/nanny to help support our busy family (two boys aged 5 and 8 - almost 6 and 9).

Across February, we need help on Wednesday's specifically as our youngest will not be attending school as part of prep transition - these dates will be 4th, 18th and 25th. Then after February - we will be looking for someone to assist with drop offs either on a Wednesday or Thursday (depends on my work but happy to commit to a regular day for the right candidate). These hours would be from 6:45am and responsibilities would include helping get boys ready for school including helping with breakfast, walking to school and a bit of a cleanup eg. stacking dishwasher etc after drop off. We'd pay for the full 3 hours but realistically you would be done by 9:30am. We are walking distance from the school so it is a nice and easy drop off. Beyond this commitment, we have weekends pop up pretty regularly as well. 

We have a fairly relaxed routine and really are just looking for someone to connect with the boys and make the mornings fun. On the Wednesdays with our youngest, we expect he will be pretty exhausted starting prep, so it might be a quiet day at home with games and puzzles or potentially a visit to the park. You will have access to our car if required, a lot is within walking distance. 

We've found some beautiful babysitters that have become really important part of our family so hoping to find someone else fabulous and local that can help our family navigate the juggle.

Hi! We are a family of 3 - I am Betty (30), my husband Anthony (34) and baby Aria (18m). Aria is absolutely the heart of our family - she is so curious and cheeky! She loves dancing to music, reading books and is hands down an outdoors baby who wants to be outside, rain hail or shine.

We are looking for a babysitter to cover my working hours on Fridays (9am-12pm (3hrs) and/or 2-5pm (3hrs)) starting on a weekly basis from 16 Jan 2026. Anthony and I will both be present and working from home, and Anthony’s workspace is in the living room (which is also sometimes a play space).

What we are looking for in a babysitter: Aria is by temperament cautious, sensitive and slow to warm up, so it is important to us that her babysitter is gentle, patient, empathetic and emotionally-attuned to her and her needs, and is willing to give her full attention and consistency to foster trust. She is also starting to experience big emotions, so we are looking for someone who is able to help her identify her emotions and comfort her through any feelings that may overwhelm her. We would like a babysitter who adopts screen-free and child-led play, and someone who genuinely enjoys playing and engaging with toddlers and is willing to follow Aria’s cues and interests (which might mean potentially repeating the same word over and over again, or playing the same game over and over again!). We are looking for someone to delight in Aria, encourage her and help her understand her experiences.

Some things we will not be expecting you to do include: putting Aria to sleep, making food (other than getting pre-made snacks for Aria), cleaning/housework.

Please reach out if you think you would be a great fit! Looking forward to hearing from you!

We live in Surrey Hills and have 3 kids, going into grades 2, 4 and year 7.
