Hi! I’m Sionainn (Shannon) my husband Raph and I are looking for a caring, reliable nanny/housekeeper to join our family two days per week, ideally on either Mondays, Wednesdays or Thursdays.
We have two little ones: Macy (2.5) and Percy (8 months). I work from home running my own business, so I’ll be around during the day but with a busy toddler and a baby who’s on the move, I really need an extra pair of hands to keep everything running smoothly.
The role includes:
• Playing and engaging with Macy (she’s funny, sassy, and full of energy always up for a chat or helping with little “jobs”)
• Caring for Percy (he’s the happiest baby, always smiling and currently learning to crawl)
• Helping with light housekeeping while the kids nap — tidying, folding laundry, unpacking the dishwasher, and keeping things organised around the house
A bit about us
We are a young and easygoing couple, but between us we run three businesses so life is full and very busy. We are also trying to stay healthy, fit in some exercise, and keep up with two small kids at the same time and potentially go on a date night more than once a year.
Macy is in daycare three days a week and off to kinder next year, but we are not quite ready to send Percy yet, so are hoping to find a nanny who can come to the house a couple of days a week. We had a wonderful nanny when Macy was little, but she moved away (and so did we!), so we are really hoping to find someone who can slot in easily and feel comfortable in our home.
We also travel a little bit, so would love to find someone trustworthy who is interested in house sitting when we go away. We would also love someone trustworthy so we can have the occasional date night.
We also have two cats, Boston and Mowgli.
I love to cook, read, and go to the gym when I can. Raph enjoys running marathons when he gets the chance.
We are looking for someone who’s kind, trustworthy, and happy to jump in wherever needed, someone who enjoys being around young kids and doesn’t mind the chaos that comes with it.

A Bit About Us
We are a young and down-to-earth couple juggling three small businesses and two small children.
I run a HR consulting business, my husband runs a construction company, and he is currently making a career change into mortgage broking, so life is full and busy in the best way.
Our home is warm, relaxed, and tidy (even when life is a little chaotic). We value kindness, communication, and a sense of humour. We are hoping to find someone who can help us maintain balance, create a routine for the kids, and allow us to focus on work knowing they are safe and happy and not sitting in front of a screen while we are trying to work.
We will typically work from home, so this is very much a supportive role, but there will also be times when we are offsite attending client meetings. Our daughter is in daycare three days a week and will be starting kinder in 2026. We occasionally travel, so there may be opportunities for house sitting or evening babysitting if that is of interest.
What We Can Offer
A stable, long-term position with consistent days
A warm, respectful, and welcoming home environment where you will be treated as a valued part of our family’s support team
Clear communication, mutual respect, and a strong sense of trust
Flexibility and understanding, we know life happens and value open, honest conversations
