Hi we are looking for babysitter ideally over the age of 20 years who can help us care for our 2 children (mostly our 4 year old son).
We are looking for someone who can permanently help on weekends-Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons and also someone who can fill our gap when our au pair leaves, before the new one arrives. Might need to be 2 different babysitters.
We have a 4 year old son and a 11 year old daughter. There will be some housework tasks included as well as having fun! We are looking for someone who is respectful, reliable & nurturing.

We are a warm family based in Willoughby seeking a kind, calm and experienced nanny to become an important and valued part of our family long term.

We have two young boys - a 3.5 year old who thrives with consistency, patience and gentle support, and a younger baby who turns one in July. We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys building strong connections with children and creating a calm, secure and nurturing environment.

This role would suit someone who is emotionally intuitive, dependable, grounded and looking for a long-term position with a family who values and respects the role deeply.

* Full-day care in our home
* Primarily focused on childcare, emotional support and maintaining a calm daily rhythm
* Supporting naps, meals, outings, play and age-appropriate activities

This is not a heavy housekeeping role. We already have external cleaning support in place. We are looking for someone whose primary focus is the children and creating a steady, positive presence in their lives.

Light child-related tasks only, such as:
* preparing children’s meals/snacks
* tidying play spaces after use

We would love to find someone who sees nannying as more than just supervision, and who takes pride in becoming a trusted and steady part of family life over time.

Competitive hourly rate offered for the right person based on experience.

Hello! We have just moved to Sydney and have a 6 year old girl (in school) and a 1.8yo girl at home.

We ideally would like a Spanish speaking babysitter as I only speak Spanish with the little one. We will eventually look at more full time care through a nanny or au pair, but for now it will helm get me on my feet a little bit. Looking forward to hearing from you!

✨ Nanny / House Manager – North Willoughby (Part-Time, Long-Term)

We are a family based in North Willoughby looking for an experienced nanny / house manager to support the smooth day-to-day running of our home.

We have one daughter (22 months old) and a friendly, medium-sized non-shedding dog. Our daughter attends daycare part-time, and we are flexible with her schedule to suit the right candidate.

This is a household management–focused role, ideal for someone who enjoys running an organised, efficient home and takes pride in maintaining a consistently high standard.

We have weekly cleaners, so no deep cleaning is required. Instead, we are looking for someone who can take ownership of the “in-between” tasks that keep everything running seamlessly—no job is too small.

Responsibilities include:
• Laundry, tidying, and maintaining a well-organised home
• Daily upkeep of key living areas (kitchen, living room, hallways, and play areas), including wiping down benchtops, countertops, tables, and keeping surfaces consistently clean and reset
• Grocery shopping and keeping household supplies stocked
• Managing and restocking items before they run out (e.g. dish soap, pantry items, baby supplies)
• Light food prep (e.g. boiling pasta, defrosting protein, making rice, chopping vegetables)
• Preparing and organising toddler meals
• Keeping daycare bag, pram bag, and car kit consistently stocked and ready
• Taking out garbage and general household upkeep
• Organising drawers, cupboards, wardrobes, and storage
• Running errands (groceries, returns, post office, etc.)
• Receiving deliveries and keeping the household running smoothly
• Maintaining a clean and safe outdoor space, including promptly picking up after the dog in the backyard if needed to ensure it remains suitable for a child to play in

We have a dog walker, however the candidate must be comfortable being around dogs and taking responsibility for maintaining a clean environment where needed.

This list is not exhaustive. Once core tasks are complete, there will always be opportunities to further organise, reset, or improve areas of the home, and we may also provide direction for additional tasks on quieter days.

The goal of this role is to keep the household running efficiently and proactively, allowing mum—who is often home—to focus on spending quality time with her daughter rather than managing house admin.

When our daughter is home, we are looking for someone warm, engaging, and confident with toddlers. However, this is not a role that is purely childcare-focused.

We are looking for someone who is:
• Proactive and takes initiative
• Highly organised and detail-oriented
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership
• Reliable and looking for a long-term role
• Professional during working hours, with minimal personal phone use

Position details:
• Part-time (days flexible for the right candidate)
• Long-term role
• Competitive hourly rate based on experience

If this sounds like a good fit, please DM me directly with your experience and availability—we’d love to hear from you.

We are a warm and welcoming family of four seeking a caring and reliable nanny on a casual basis. We have a fun-loving 6-year-old and an active 10-month-old, and are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with children of different ages.

The role includes supervising playtime, supporting daily routines, and occasional help with meals or settling. We value kindness, patience, and dependability, and hope to find someone who can become a trusted part of our family.

Pay ranges from $25–$28 per hour, depending on experience. We’d love to hear from you.
