Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Inner Sydney, NSW

Hi Sitters,

I’m looking for a casual babysitter to help care for my 10-month-old daughter in Surry Hills.
Care will be on an as-needed basis so I can attend errands and appointments, as family support isn’t always available and we’d like to build some additional support.
I’m ideally looking for a mature, calm, and reliable babysitter who is confident with infants and has recent, long-term experience caring for babies. Experience in a nannying/babysitting role and/or caring for your own children would be highly valued.

Requirements:
• Valid Working With Children Check (required)
• Current First Aid & CPR (required)
• National Police Check (preferred)
• Recent, long-term infant care experience
• A nurturing, responsible, and safety-focused approach to care

Hours & Pay:
• Care will generally be booked for a min. of 3 hours per shift, can range from daytime and evenings weekdays or weekends
• The listed rate is a starting point — happy to pay a higher rate depending on experience and qualifications

I’d love to arrange a meet-and-greet prior to any care to ensure we’re a good fit.

If this sounds like a good match, I’d love to hear from you

-Picking boys up from their school (they attend the same school and its about 10-15 minutes drive from our home)

-Bringing them home and waiting for us to arrive home from work

We need a babysitter for Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. We need someone who has their drivers licence and good driving record.

About our boys, their current top 5 favourite things: playgrounds, hot chocolates, riding scooters/bikes, building with magnetic tiles, and taking a ride on the bus!

Many thanks

Take care of happy and playful William (4yrs) and Arthur (2yrs) for 6h, two days per week. Includes feeding lunch, taking to local park, and playing.
Hours are 11am to 5pm Thurs and Fri.

We are looking for a loving, organised and enthusiastic nanny to join our family.
.
Our children are G8, B6 & B4. The older children are at school locally and our youngest attends preschool part-time. We also have an elderly dog.

Care responsibilities would be full days on Thursday and Fridays for our youngest with school drop off and pick ups for the older two.
Tuesday and Wednesday care requirements can be negotiable, preschool/school pickups (from 2pm) being the priority, however we would love some help in the morning (7-10ish) if you are available. For the right candidate we can offer additional hours during the day when the kids are at school to help keep things ticking over at home. Preference would be for someone who can do all four days.

Our work rosters are variable so we generally structure your working week around that. We guarantee a set number of hours per fortnight and provide you with a roster a month in advance. We can work around university rosters to a degree, and with notice can be somewhat flexible with timetable changes.

A car is not required, however it would be helpful if you can drive. A family car is available for use. This is not essential though as all the kids after school activities are local or accessible via a short bus ride.

We are an experienced nanny family and are sadly farewelling our current nanny as she returns home overseas. She is happy to provide a family reference.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello,

We are an easy-going family based in Redfern, looking for a reliable and flexible nanny to care for our 7-year-old daughter. She is a calm and easygoing child who attends school in Waverley.

We’re seeking someone available regularly on Wednesdays, with the possibility of additional shifts on an as-needed basis. Homework help and support with her evening/bedtime routine will be part of the role. Having your own vehicle is preferable, as school pick-ups are required.

If you're kind, responsible, and enjoy working with children, we’d love to hear from you!

We're a busy, friendly family of four, with two energetic boys aged 8 and 4. They're curious, active and love spending time outdoors.

We're looking for someone who is reliable, well organised, engaging and who genuinely enjoys spending time with two young boys.

The role involves school pick ups, taking the children to after school activities, preparing & cooking simple & healthy after school snack & dinners (not for the parents), helping with night time routine and getting them ready for bed around 7 pm when we will take over.

Assistance with light housekeeping chores will also be required (washing, bed making, cleaning up after meals, repacking school bags and a light evening reset of household common areas).

Drivers license & own car preferred, albeit most things are easy walking distance.

Hi nannies!
Looking for a full time nanny Mon-Fri 9am-5pm to look after my 1yo baby girl while we are working from home.

We prefer someone who is a qualified childcare educator with experience with this age group, someone who is creative, can prepare meals for the baby and keep her busy at home.

She is very easy going child who likes exploring new things.

We’re looking for a caring, experienced nanny to help look after our 9‑month‑old baby boy two days a week as we are both returning to work. Ideally we’re hoping for Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 9am to 5pm, starting mid‑February, with a trial shift in January.

We’re a relaxed, friendly family, and there will always be at least one of us at home while you’re here, so you’ll have support if you ever need it. Our little one is curious, happy, and loves playtime and exploring new things.

The role includes the usual baby care - supervising, engaging in play, preparing meals and feeding, nappy changes, settling for naps, and taking him out for walks or to local activities. If he’s asleep, a bit of light household help (mainly cleaning and baby‑related tidying) would be appreciated.

We’re looking for someone who has experience with babies under 12 months and holds a current Working With Children Check. We are looking around $35–$40 per hour depending on experience.
If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you and learn more about your experience and availability.

We are an Annandale family seeking a capable and confident nanny to help us on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 7:30am - 6:00pm in 2026.

We hope to meet someone in January, with a view to starting with us in mid-February.

The job involves:
- Helping our 8-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son get to school in the mornings.
- While the kids are at school, doing laundry, tidying, cleaning, shopping and cooking (preparing family meals using home recipes).
- Collecting the kids from school, assisting with afternoon tea, and getting them to and from afternoon activities when required.
- Serving dinner.

The right candidate will be:
- An experienced driver comfortable in Sydney traffic (you will be driving our vehicle).
- A confident cook.
- Someone who likes working autonomously.
- Comfortable with cats (we have 2!)
- Calm, warm, reliable and trustworthy.
- Keen to get to know our kids and support them as they grow.
- Available until July at least.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Hello, we’re a family of four, living in Double Bay. We’re originally from London and I have a 5 year old at school and a 6 month old. The role would be to come every weekday before school, helping with the school run and breakfast, followed by nannying with the baby, and assisting me with/preparing dinner. It would be roughly 7.30am-3pm Monday - Thursday, and later into the evening on Fridays. But timings are all negotiable for the right candidate. The role will also include managing and organising the girls rooms and toys, and light housekeeping.

We’re looking for someone who will genuinely become part of the family as neither of us have family in Sydney. We’re warm, generous and really involved with our girls.

The role will include holiday pay, however, there is an expectation that we work together to take holidays at the same time that we travel, where possible. We travel back to Europe at least twice a year for a few weeks at a time. If you were to travel with us, there would be firstly no requirement to do so, but if you chose to, there would be additional pay.

As a full time role, we’re looking to pay approximately $70,000 p.a plus superannuation, for the right candidate.
