Nanny/ Mother's Helper – August (Temporary Position)

I am seeking a caring and reliable nanny/mother's helper to provide support with my youngest daughter, Daisy (6 months old), throughout August.

The role will primarily focus on Daisy's day to day care, including bottle feeds, introducing solids, playtime, settling for naps, and providing a nurturing and engaging environment. Daisy is a happy, relaxed baby with an easy going temperament.

Hours are approximately 8:30am - 4:00pm, three days per week, with flexibility on specific days.

Hi,

We are looking for a nanny for Monday and Tuesday for 7 weeks (our lovely nanny has to do her practical experience for her teaching degree). Following the 7 week period, we will likely need additional Ad Hoc or regular help, as I am currently 26 weeks pregnant with our third and going on maternity leave in September.

Bobby goes to preschool Monday and Tuesday. So we would need you to walk to pick him up (900m) and walk him home (with Florence in the pram) at 3:30. Start time would be 7:30 and we are home by 5:30/6. We are pretty relaxed and just want the kids to be happy and safe.

We live in Gladesville NSW.

Thanks

We are seeking an experienced nanny/household manager to help care for our 2 daughters (a 7-year-old and 5-year-old) on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Total of 17-hours per week.

○ Pay rate: $40-45 per hour (negotiable, depending on experience of the candidate).
○ Start date: 27 July 2026 (negotiable on start date for the right candidate).

In addition, running errands and light home duties such as laundry, emptying the dishwasher, shopping, cooking etc while the children are at school and daycare (we have a separate cleaner who cleans the house).
○ Must have experience with small children.

We are looking for someone who is kind, organised, fun and who demonstrates strong leadership skills, and attention to detail. My husband and I are both busy professionals, so we are seeking a nanny/household manager who is reliable and trustworthy.

If you're interested and you meet the requirements above, then I'd love to hear from you!

Looking forward to hearing from you.
