A friendly family looking for a long term carer to help us 3 afternoons a week with our two precious kids. Our children (1 boy and 1 girl turning 6 & 5 respectively this year) will be starting their schooling career at St Mary's Cathedral School this year. We are so excited for their schooling journey but we want to ensure they still have a sense of belonging at home.
This role would entail fetching the two children at 15:00 from the school courtyard, boarding the bus that starts its route directly outside the school gate, riding it with the kids to our home in Abbotsford (bus stop is about a block and a half from our home) and helping the kids settle back at home. We would provide the cost of the bus ride.
Once home, a small snack and play time would be had, along with any assistance in homework, and some pre-dinner preparations would be completed. We dont expect a house cleaning services, rather just keeping things tidy as the afternoon goes on and cleaning up any mess along the way. The hope is the focus remains on engaging our children, assisting with afterschool activities or work and having fun. We expect either mom or dad to be home by 18:00 and relieving the days duties (typical 3 hour shift).
We really hope that there is an energetic and kind soul that will partner with us in this regard.
Hi, I’m seeking a helper 2 days a week for my 9 & 11yr old girls starting late January (ongoing role).
I require pick up and drop off at school about 15 mins away. The kids are quite independent.
Only one night of overnight care is required due to my work commitments.
No cooking or cleaning required as meals are already prepared and I have a cleaner.
Days are flexible based on your availability. However, I prefer you start off the role on Mondays & Tuesdays.
We live in the the Ryde district area.
If you wish to be paid via your ABN that will also be considered. If not that's fine as well.
If interested or wish to discuss further we can FaceTime with my kids in the first instance. Thanks.

Tuesday to Thursday (from school pick up at 3pm until 7pm or so. On Thursdays will be until 9pm so my husband and I can squeeze in a quick date night!) and occasionally maybe a Monday or Friday afternoon as well if needed.

Hello, we are looking for a trusted pair of hands to help out with our little one and give mum and dad a night off. We have a 6 moth old baby boy and are looking for a professional to step in and take care of him when we have other commitments. We are getting married this Anzac Day (Friday April 25th) and are looking for someone to attend the wedding and take the baby home to settle as there is no where on site for him to sleep safely. In the build up we'd love to get some evenings booked in so that you and baby can bond. We are based in Surry Hills/Redfern (right by Prince Alfred Park) and are very flexible on both cost and days/times. As first time parents our preference is for a professional with experience in early childhood education and/or nursing. Thanks all
My wife and I are a busy professional couple, who are looking for some assistance with our 14 month old son a couple of days per week. Given our work schedules, we're after someone who can assist on a consistent basis, and then also provide coverage on an adhoc basis.
Hi, we have two children, one that is in year 1 (daughter, aged 6) and one in year 2 (son, aged 7). Needing help with morning drop off's and pick ups in afternoon. We had an awesome nanny from here, but unfortunately uni hours have clashed and alas need to find a new team member :(
One week in four need a little more help since dad is away
Both children go to Bellevue Hill, just down the road. Most days have after school activities so pick up times vary a touch. There is the opportunity to use my wife's car if that makes life easier.
There is also opportunities for baby sitting on weekends or the evenings too if keen.
We are trying to find someone for the year minimum.
The morning involves being at us between 0745-0800 and then finishing by 0845-0900 (kids are typically dressed, ready to go to school and just need supervision and drop off, they can do go with the flow).
The afternoons typically involve pick up 1700 and finishing by say 1930 (or more especially week I am away).
We would be happy to lock in an evening that you babysit till say 2100 or so, so my wife and I could head out for dinner.
Days would be (Can vary but we ALWAYS lock things in one month in advance)
At maximum:
3 out of 4 Mondays am and pm
3 out of 4 Tuesdays am and pm
All Wednesday AM and PM
All Thursday AM

Hi,
we are a family of 5 in Centennial Park (cook road) that need after school care for our 3 kids (6M,8F,11M). All go to Kincoppal Rose Bay school, pretty easy kids. Will need a mixture of picking them up from the bus stop in Woollahra (near the pub) and picking them up from the school some days. 3:30pm - 6:30-7:00pm, during the school term. I have my own business and work flexibly so if you have something on we can accomodate easily. My wife works in the city and is less flexible but can pop back if something comes up. If this sounds like something you are interested in, let me know. Thanks, Christian
Hi there! Mum to a gorgeous nearly 7yo girl, based in Alexandria. We're both working full time, and need help after school hours 3-6pm Tuesday and 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.
I hope you are well. I’m connecting to see if you would be interested in talking about a role with my children, 4 X after school sessions a fortnight. We’d Thur Mon and Tues From 3 to 6 pm. My twin boys are 9 and my daughter is 14. We have very active animated children as they have a light version of adhd ( this might be interesting if you are studying ) I’m interested in someone who is a connector, activity organiser, learning helper first and foremost but also to help prepare dinner and light tidy. Kids engagement and learning is my priority. Let me know if you are interested in chatting. Georgiana
Hi there, I am looking for a nanny to help me with my two children (12yo girl, 14yo boy) on Thursdays. The role would include: school pick-up (the applicant would need to have their own car), preparing afternoon tea, supervising and monitoring homework, preparing dinner for the three of us, and some housekeeping (keeping the kitchen/living areas clean and some laundry when required). Hours would generally be 3pm-7pm, and there may be some evenings I would need the nanny to stay longer (depending on work commitments). We need someone who is organised and can motivate the children to study and keep them focused.
We are a couple in Leichhardt looking for a casual babysitter that we can welcome into our home. We have a sweet, sensitive natured 4 year old boy and looking for someone who will be able to connect with him and look after him causally, thinking maybe one evening a month.
We haven't used babysitters before as our family have stepped in here and there, and as a baby, he was always very attached to us and ambivalent to go to new people. However, now that he is 4.5 years old and getting a little older, my partner and I would love to get out a little and enjoy the occasional date night, or night out with friends. We are thinking maybe once a month for 3 hours, and happy to make it a regular night (unless something urgent comes up for us or you) and possibly other random nights here and there. Happy to pay up to $35 an hour.
He's a very gentle, warm and happy kiddo but takes a while to warm upto new people, so we are thinking it might be an idea to have one or two playdates first (paid of course) where you could get to know him and us and our family before having an evening solo with him.
Please apply if you are interested. Would prefer someone with lots of experience working with 4-5 year olds. Would love parent references and a WWC check.
