🌟 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!

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.

A little bit about us:

Our little boy is a confident, kind, happy 6 year old who loves animals, trains, understanding his world and learning to be independent.
He is curious, asks lots of questions, hearing the answers, learning new things, telling you about them and loves mastering new tasks.
He understands himself well and is very good at advocating for himself, and he knows that we will listen to him and believe him. He loves music and singing to music.
He loves school and his friends at school.

We need this help as we both need to leave for work early however we are pretty engaged parents, with a lot of family support close by as well, and we’ll ensure that you are well supported and have everything you need to do this caregiving role well!

Our brand of parenting is one driven by best practice, data, reliable resources (raising children network, RCH guidelines, advice from GPs and other paediatric resources), principals that support children’s emotional wellbeing and the fundamental respect for a child’s space to grow, explore who they are, play, be silly, funny and cheeky and learn about their world!

We’re looking for someone who:
-has pro-social skills (Empathy, respect, kindness and gratitude) and because of these generally has positive interactions with others (a wordy way of saying you’re just generally a nice person!)
-understands and values being on the same side of children, and building a positive narrative around them.
-has a strong understanding and respect for the importance of body safe rules, child safe rules and safe adult rules.
-understands the importance of finding and giving them small opportunities frequently to succeed at things and celebrating these and them.
-genuinely sees children as equal, worthy and important individuals with autonomy and agency.
-ideally, has experience working with 6 year olds, and thus an approximate understanding of where a 6 year old is at developmentally and patience for what they can and cannot do.
