We are a family of three. Both professional parents work full time and our son is 11 years old and is in Grade 6 in a local primary school.
We are an active and outgoing family who like to get out and about on the weekends. Our son is energetic and lively, so we will need someone to be outgoing, active, engaging and fun as well as firm when needed.
We require someone who has some experience nannying active children and who can help with homework, reading and writing, hang out with him and give him some undivided attention and care.
We need someone reliable, punctual and flexible, who is an open communicator. This is key, to ensuring the safety, support and oversight of our child.
The role entails meeting him at our home (our school is close by), make sure reading and homework is done, and play games – need to be creative, have energy and enjoy time outside. Drive him to activities on Thursdays and Fridays.
Keep the play areas / bedroom and kitchen clean and tidy. There will be a cleaner during the week.
You will also cook dinner and coordinate the meal.We need someone who can cook and is interested in healthy, nutritious food.
Sometimes during holidays there may be outings to museums etc and you need to be comfortable catching public transport to get to places,
Care over some days during the school holidays would also be good. To be discussed as will be longer hours. We will of course agree this with you.
Happy to pay up to $35/hr for the right candidate.
Start date ASAP.
