About The Job

Job details: Part-time

$35 per hour

Hi! I’m Claire, a single mum based in Ocean Grove. I work in mental health education at Barwon Health and travel regularly to Melbourne, which means I’m juggling a lot — and I’d love to find someone special to help make our little world run a bit smoother.

Isla is 7 — she’s creative, beach-obsessed, and always on the go. Fox is 4 turning 5, full of energy, laughs, and adventure. And then there’s Peaches and Bowie, our two cavalier King Charles spaniels who think they’re part of every activity!

We’re looking for someone warm, bubbly, and reliable to help with school runs Mon–Fri, with full days on Tuesdays and possibly Mondays too. There are also regular opportunities for overnights and late evenings when I’m travelling for work. We’re also happy to consider live-in arrangements — whether that’s 4, 5, or 7 days per week, or set hours that work for both of us.

More than anything, we want someone who feels like part of the family — someone who loves getting out and about, heading to the park or the beach, and is happy to just be present and engaged with the kids. No cleaning expected, just encouraging the kids to pick up after themselves. Cooking skills are a bonus but not a must.

Happy to negotiate a great rate for the right fit — we just want someone who genuinely enjoys being around kids and brings good energy into our home. 😊
