Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Fountaindale NSW

We are a family of four with 3 year old and 1 year old girls looking for a safety focused, kind and reliable nanny to take care of the girls while mum works from home on Monday and Tuesday.

Both girls have been in care and the eldest is very comfortable with new people, the baby is a bit slower to warm up but has been doing well at daycare. I’d love someone that genuinely delights in children and has a strong sense of safety. The right person doesn’t need to have loads of experience but will be comfortable managing two small kids out of the house, and driving them in my car to activities.

The baby is allergic to some foods and whilst she has never had anaphylaxis I will want to show our nanny how to use the pen just in case.

Our 5-year-old son is full of personality – he’s funny, charismatic, endlessly curious, and loves engaging with someone who brings fun and enthusiasm to his day.
