Hello, I’m after a nanny every Thursday from 11-5 with the possibility to extend to a full day. This is for my almost 2 year old son. We are located in Kellyville. Ideally we are after someone who speaks Italian.

Hi there! Mum to a gorgeous 7yo girl, based in Alexandria. We're both working full time, and need help after school hours 3-6pm Tuesday and 330-600 on Wednesdays.
Pick up would be from school, and tbc what activities would be (will firm that up when she starts school) but it could play out like:
- picking her up to take to after school activities
- maybe she has a class onsite and you would need to pick up at 4, and ask would then be for you to perform some light household cleaning from 3-4
- potentially it may involve just taking care of her, taking her to park etc if no activity is on.
We sometimes also might ask you to pick her up plus one friend, as sometimes the parents in her class help each other out. If they were ever to happen it would always be only one kid - but just a heads up on that.
Hey nannies and carers of kids!
Our wonderful longterm nanny is going for a trip overseas for 3 months and we need to replace her with a temporary nanny during this time. Start date would be beginning June with a transition period with our current nanny and then through to late August.
Hours needed are
Mon - Fri - 3pm - 8pm
There is definitely opportunity for more hours as we are often out during the week at night and need the nanny to stay back later.
We have two beautiful kids - 7 years (girl) and 9 year old (boy). They are very used to having nannies and a solid routine. The requirements are to pick up the kids from school everyday and take them to the various after school activities. Then home for shower and homework, dinner and bedtime. Some light household duties are required - cooking / preparing dinner, folding washing and packing/unpacking dishwasher.
We provide a car with car seats and all petrol is paid by us (naturally),
Rate is $30-$35ph (pending experience) during the kids hours and $20ph when babysitting (kids in bed).
We live in Balgowlah and we have a little cavoodle dog who is very much a family member and likes school pick up walks! Ideally someone who lives locally who knows the area well for playgrounds and after-school adventures and is experienced with primary school kids, has a firm but kind approach to discipline and is family oriented.
Please message me if you are interested!
Thanks Kim
