🌟 We’re Looking for Our Newest Family Member! 🌟

Hi there!
We’re a loving family of four — Haydn (Dad), Chelsea (Mum), Tilly (2 years old) and Jax (1 year old) — and we’re on the lookout for someone very special to join our little team.

I’ve recently returned to work (mainly from home, with the occasional office day), and juggling work while caring for two little ones has proven to be a bit more of a challenge than I imagined! So, we’re hoping to find a kind, reliable, and nurturing nanny to help support our busy household.

We’re looking for someone who:
✨ Loves working with young children
✨ Is warm, patient, and engaging
✨ Feels comfortable caring for a toddler and a baby
✨ Is happy to be part of a relaxed, family-oriented environment

This role would involve caring for Tilly and Jax during the day — playing, supporting naps and meals, and helping them learn and grow — while I focus on work. We ideally need 2 x 6-8 hour days but we can be somewhat flexible on these days and times. I’ll often be at home, so we’re really hoping to find someone who feels like an extension of our family.
If you’re caring, energetic, and looking to become part of a fun, loving home, we’d love to hear from you! 💛

Please reach out with your experience and availability — we can’t wait to meet you!
