Hello Sitters!

We are a family of four in Surry Hills, a great location right near buzzing Crown Street and the lightrail stop. There is Jacqui (myself) and husband Alex, energetic and delightful 2.5 year old Nico, and gorgeous sleepy little 3 week old girl Mila. I’m on maternity leave and Alex currently works long hours. We have some extended family around but are looking to build our village.

Your role: to help me with the home and kids while Alex is at work - a regular 2 weekdays, approximately 5.30/6pm to 9/9.30pm. Flexibility is valued as this could turn into the odd extra ad hoc day, or extra hours on the weekend from time to time. Duties would be variable, mainly involving helping with our evening routine (play, dinner, bath, bedtime), perhaps keeping the toddler occupied while I settle the baby or prepare dinner (or vice versa). A light tidy up and reset at the end of the evening is part of the role: putting away toys, wipe down of surfaces, occasionally putting the kids clothes away, loading the dishwasher.

It’s important that you don’t mind dogs as we have a large, friendly (non shedding) groodle who is inside and part of the family. An optional part of your duties might be taking him outside for a quick walk before you go.

If all of this suits, would be lovely to meet. Let me know if you have any questions.
