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.

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

✨ 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 currently looking for a regular babysitter for our two kids - boy aged 7 and girl 4. Most likely hours would be every second Thursday evening and ad hoc weekend hours when we have events. We are based in Milsons Point just near the train station and Luna Park. Next steps would involve a video call with Mum.

We are looking for a new nanny who is available 1pm-7pm weekdays to help our busy family with 2 awesome and well behaved kids (girl, 9 and boy, 8) manage the afternoons/early evenings. Our valued nanny is changing career so we have an opening for someone reliable, happy and responsible. Duties include managing local public school pick up (walkable within 10 mins of home), afternoon activities in the local area, prepping lunch boxes and snacks, cooking healthy dinners for the kids, managing the kids laundry and various uniforms, and supervising homework and readers. Some light day to day housework would be very much appreciated including unpacking the dishwasher, keeping toys tidy and running the odd local errand. But most importantly, keeping the kids happy and safe. We will provide a car for you to use while working. We are busy but kind and easygoing and just basically need help with the juggle. We are more than happy for 2 nannies to share the week - which might suit uni students. Thank you so much for reading the ad and I look forward to hearing from you! Cheers, Sarah
