We are looking for a regular weekly nanny to sleep over twice a week (on Wed & Sat nights) at a modern, secure unit in Killara to care for 2 well-behaved children aged 7 (boy) and 9 (nearly 10) (girl). The job is regular and ongoing every week and entails:
- collecting the kids from school in Killara (5min away) every Wed by 5pm, getting them to bed, bath/homework etc., sleeping over, & taking them back to school by 8am on Thursday.
- Caring for the children on a Saturday night from 5pm until Sunday 2pm.
- Some light housekeeping/tidying up. We would expect you to take initiative to keep the unit clean and tidy while you are there, put washing in the machine, tidy kids toys, take rubbish outside to the bins, make sure the kitchen / bedrooms are tidy, a quick vacuum Sun morning etc.
Total weekly payment is a fixed amount of $700, paid every Monday.
This is based on an hourly rate of $35 for working hours 8am-9pm and a flat $105 overnight rate where you can just sleep/work/study/netflix/relax etc. once the kids are in bed. This works out at $245 for Wed nights and $455 for Sat nights.
The days/hours would be regular and ongoing and generally not change although there may occasionally be some flexibility needed depending on the week or during school holidays, Xmas time etc. There may also be an opportunity for extra ad-hoc babysitting hours at other times (if you are available) at the hourly rate.
Bedtime is 730pm and they should usually be asleep by 8/830pm, there are usually no duties at all overnight. If they happen to stay up a bit later or are unsettled / sick on any particular night (which would be exceptional) then that is part of the job and included in the weekly rate. Equally if we get home early or you need to leave early, then we will also be flexible & there will be no reduction to the weekly rate.
You need to be reliable, mature, responsible, and must have your own car. A positive outlook, willingness to engage with, put effort in, and build trust with the kids is essential. No boyfriends / other visitors may be in the unit when you are caring for the kids.
An immediate start is preferred with an initial trial of a few nights required to make sure you're a good fit with the kids and vice versa ! If that sounds like something that would suit you, we'd love to hear from you!
Thanks! Kate and Gary
