We are looking again for a nanny as our wonderful nanny is returning to study.
We are a fun loving, active, caring family.
Our children are our pride and joy and we love being involved in their lives, so the role is to help us with them, as well as a bit of light housework, cooking, household jobs. The role is made up of nannying and house manager tasks (ie supermarket shopping, helping with homework, running errands, taking kids to appointments etc).
Our family is made up of 2 boys: 10 and 8, and a darling 6 year old girl - they all attend school 5 days a week in 2024. Oh and we just got a puppy named Buddy. :)
The two boys are typical sporty boys who love being active and playing sport, our little girl is a sweet heart and a caring girl who loves to play make believe and draw and cook.
We live in a beautiful house with 5 bedrooms, a tennis court, pool, basketball rings, soccer nets and a built in tramp - so there is always lots of options for activities at home.
They kids have activities most nights and are busy active kids. We also travel through the year and have a holiday house in Portsea and sometimes take the nanny with us, depending on the situation and availability.
I work as a fashion stylist and my husband owns his own business so we both work for ourselves and have varied schedules with interstate and occasional overseas work.
We have had 4 Au Pairs before and 5 Nannies and countless babysitters and have had the most amazing relationships with them all and happy to provide details to chat with them. We are very familiar with fostering a positive work environment with lots of communication and welcome the nanny into our family, we feed the nanny delicious meals and try to all sit as a family depending on schedules for dinner times (at least once a week).
If suitable we also have a self contained area next to the house which could facilitate an Au Pair (where some of the payment as board), the area is self contained has couch TV and kitchenette. (We are open to live in or live out role).
