We’ll be home during this time and are just after an extra set of hands in the evenings, from around 4:30–6:30 PM on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

Hi lovely nannies!
We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our family!
You will be looking after our 3yo daughter and 4yo son.
Hours will be 7.30am-5pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
On Wednesday it will just be our daughter since our son goes to kindy.

We value our childrens learning and would like to put effort in daily activities and adventures to promote growth and imagination.
Preferably someone in the early education industry that understands in depth of how the children respond and how they develop at certain ages and what their needs are at these stages.

Apart from the daily learning, your day will look like this but not limited to:

Serving the Kids meals and snacks - sometimes prepping for the meals.

Following both sleep schedules and current routine.

Maintaining clean play areas for the children before your day ends so the house is reset for the night.

Basic house cleaning after meals and helping with light house chores like washing the dishes and unstacking the dishes.

Lots of outdoor play is wanted as we don't to do TV or Ipads during the day.

We have a pinboard in their play space that we would like maintained with their artwork and activities during the day

We work fulltime and really need a reliable team
Member to help us out and keep the household running. Our current nanny has been accepted into the police force and we are sad to see her go!

Wage is negotiable depending on qualifications and experience

We’re looking for a warm, reliable babysitter for two children (boy 9, girl 11). The role includes after-school pickups, light meal prep, and a bit of tidying in our picturesque home in Selby.

Hours: 3:30pm to 6:30pm, two afternoons per week (Wed, Thu, or Fri), plus one weekday evening weekly or fortnightly. Hours will be consistent during school terms but days can vary sometimes.

You: Confident driver with own vehicle, calm and patient, great with kids who can have sometimes big feelings and benefit from a steady, predictable approach.

35.00 per hour plus allowances for petrol and after school snacks etc.

Hi! We’re Jess and Sam, and we’re looking for a casual weekday nanny to spend time with our gorgeous 15-month-old daughter, Hazel.

Hazel is a happy, curious and adventurous little girl who loves to play, explore and connect with people. We’re really hoping to find someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with toddlers — someone who loves getting down on the floor to play, heading outside, and engaging with her in a fun, warm and playful way.

We’re also expecting our second baby at the end of March, so we’d love to find someone who feels like a good fit with our family and can get to know Hazel before her little sibling arrives. The role is very much about enjoying Hazel and keeping her engaged — light cooking or tidying would be a bonus but not the priority.

Jess is a clinical psychologist and Sam is a psychiatrist, both specialising in child and adolescent mental health. We live on a large block of land and spend a lot of time outdoors, so someone who enjoys nature and being outside would be a great match.

Above all, we’re looking for someone kind, reliable and playful who will adore Hazel as much as we do, and help make this transition into life with a newborn a little smoother for our family.

If this sounds like something you’d like, we’d really like to hear from you.

We are a friendly, relaxed family looking for a caring and energetic nanny/babysitter to look after our two daughters who are 2 (nearly 3) and 4 (nearly 5). We are looking for Thursdays from February ongoing through the year, and then the potential for extra days during school holidays.
Previous experience with preschoolers and first aid/working with children check is preferred.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Looking for a babysitter for our primary school aged boys. Hubby and I would love to get out on a few date nights and can be flexible with days and times. We would like to lock in a regular time as well as reach out on an as needed basic. Our boys have a variety of interests- basketball, football, camping, arts & crafts, board games, lego, bike riding, cooking and more. They are inquisitive, energetic and love new experiences. They will gladly participate in any activities you wish to facilitate. No allergies or additional needs. Happy to negotiable the rate of pay.

Looking for a nanny/ babysitter on Friday afternoons to look after our 3.5 yr old plus occasional evening babysitting.

I am due to have another baby soon and need assistance with our 3.5 yr old child, looking after and entertaining her. She is an energetic girl and afternoons would be spent taking her to the park, playing games, baking with her etc. Mainly doing the fun stuff but still a bit of light cleaning up after meal times and tidying toys etc. (Maybe occasional folding and loading/ unloading dishwasher).

We also have a 2 year old Golden Retriever so must love dogs!

We would also require someone who could do occasional evening or weekend daytime babysitting.

On top of this, (although we don’t have a holiday currently booked due to our pending arrival of baby #2), our family loves to travel so we would be looking for someone who could accompany us on (mainly) overseas holidays to look after the kids and be a spare set of hands. We would discuss how these trips would work in further detail in person.

Overall, we are seeking someone responsible, reliable, energetic, who takes initiative, is proactive and adaptable.

As well as this, you will have experience working with young children, current WWC and first aid training.

If this sounds like you, please get in touch.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Hi all,

I’m looking for someone to join my team as a support worker for a beautiful 11 year old boy with Norries Disease who is blind and has autism and an intellectual disability. He is supported after school 3pm-8pm and on weekends and school holidays. Looking for someone who has availability on at least one of the listed weekdays and/or Sundays 10am-3pm or 3pm-8pm. The hours have potential to increase if desired by early next year as one of his current team members will be finishing her degree and moving on. All training and ongoing support is provided by me so no need for prior experience in support work but this is highly regarded. You would need to be mature, nurturing, and to have a passion for working with children and learning new skills as well as the ability to stay calm when child is dysregulated and adapt to ongoing training and feedback. Someone who is either working in or aspiring to work in behaviour support, occupational therapy, speech therapy or physio therapy would be perfect for this role as we work closely with these therapies and integrate goals into what we do with the children on a daily basis. Please note a drivers licence and access to a car is essential for the role. We are looking for someone who can make a long term commitment of at last 1 year and the role requires regular weekly work with the child to be able to work with him on the school holidays so I am not able to accept applicants who are looking for temporary or solely school holiday work. Thank you!
