Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Ultimo NSW

Hello Sitters!

We are a family of four in Surry Hills, right near buzzing Crown Street and the lightrail stop. I’m on maternity leave and my partner currently works/studies long hours. Our two lovely kids are a 2.5 year old toddler and our new baby, almost 3 months old!

Your role: to help me with the home and kids while Alex is at work - a regular 2 weekdays, approximately 5.30/6pm to 9/9.30pm. Flexibility is valued as this could turn into the odd extra ad hoc day, or extra hours on the weekend from time to time. Duties would be variable, mainly involving helping with our evening routine (play, dinner, bath, bedtime), perhaps keeping the toddler occupied while I settle the baby. When our toddler goes to bed, I would go with him while you take the baby (ideally you would be comfortable wearing her in a baby carrier).

A light tidy up and reset at the end of the evening is part of the role: putting away toys, wipe down of surfaces, occasionally putting the kids clothes away, loading the dishwasher.

It’s important that you don’t mind dogs as we have a large, friendly (non shedding) groodle who is inside and part of the family! If the kids are sorted, you could take him outside for a quick walk before you go.

If all of this suits, would be lovely to meet. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello,

We have three children 9, 7 and 4, two girls and a boy.

Ideally the person will love kids, take initiative and is used to a busy family environment. We also have a 12-year-old dog named Sadie (Kelpie Poodle), so would need to be ok with dogs.

Thanks

Looking for a special after school carer ideally 5 days a week between 3:45 - 5:45 PM at our home with our almost 6 year old. She is an easy kid but has special needs so strong preference for someone who has a background working with special needs kids, or has qualifications in OT, PT or ST or is working towards that. Ideally we want someone long term to support her doing her homework and support her ongoing development (drawing/writing, reading/doing puzzles etc) until we get home from work.

We’re a family based in Redfern looking for a warm, engaged nanny/babysitter to help care for our son. He’s currently 6 months old and will be around 12 months old when the regular role begins in August.

I’m currently on parental leave, so for now we’re looking for ad-hoc babysitting, with the plan to move to a regular role of 3–5 days per week from mid-August when I return to work. Ideally we’re hoping to find someone who would like to be with our family long term.

About the role:
• Caring for for our son
• Being present and engaged -singing, reading, playing and supporting his development
• Taking him out to activities such as swimming lessons, baby sensory classes, and walks
• Preparing simple baby meals and light baby-related tidying
• Light household help such as folding laundry, unpacking the dishwasher, and general tidying

We do have a cleaner, so we’re just looking for someone happy to help with small day-to-day tasks rather than deep cleaning.

I’ll also be working from home some days, so I’ll occasionally be around the house.

About our home:
• Located in Redfern
• We have two friendly cats, so you’ll need to be comfortable with pets

About us:
I’m an IP lawyer and my husband runs a music company. We love travel and would ideally find someone who might be open to travelling with us from time to time. We’re a pretty relaxed household and enjoy things like games, trivia and music, and I also love Pilates & art.

I used to be a nanny myself for a number of years, so I really get what the job’s like. I know how much energy and care it takes, and how important it is to feel trusted and appreciated. We’re just looking for someone who’ll feel comfortable and part of the family.

About you:
• Warm, reliable and attentive
• Enjoys engaging with babies and supporting their development
• Comfortable taking a baby out to local activities
• Happy to help with light household tasks
• Interested in a longer-term role

If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you. Please send a message with a little about yourself and your experience. 😊
