Hello, We are looking for a nanny for our 18 months old daughter. We live in North Sydney and have flexible work schedules so we're considering to start with part time care from 3pm to 7pm. We wouldn't need any cooking or house cleaning just great care and activities for our daughter. We look forward to meeting you

We are currently looking for a regular babysitter for our two children - boy 7 and girl 4 (almost 5).

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 someone who can regularly help on weekends-regular Sunday afternoons and occasional Saturday nights and also someone who can fill our gap in the weekdays when our au pair leaves, before the new one arrives. It might need to be 2 different babysitters.
We have a 4 year old son and a 11 year old daughter. There will be some housework tasks included as well as having fun! We are looking for someone who is respectful, reliable & nurturing.

My name is Dara! My husband Scott and I are looking for someone to give me ongoing help throughout the week with my kids (2 boys aged 3 and 1). We have a 3rd baby on the way (due early Jan) and would ideally like to work with someone who wants to be an important part of our family long term (however, we are also open to short term roles). Preferred days would be Monday- Wednesday or a combination with about 15 hours split between those days. We live in Northbridge and we have a standard groodle. The main roles would be spending time with the boys, some cooking for the kids and some basic kid related house tasks like washing, and tidying up toys!

Hi there ☺️

We are looking for a nanny for our cheeky little 3.5yr old boy.

We are based in Balgowlah and will need Mondays only. Hours 8.30am-5.30pm.

Mum is around with baby sister (8mths old) for the next few months. Definitely looking for someone who’s happy with getting out and about, or using our car to find some fun things to do! He’s an active little man so needs equal nurturing and high energy 😅

From end of Jan 2027, we will need care for both kids once Mum returns to work. She will be working from home but will stay out of the way :)

As a previous nanny myself, I’d love someone to really become a more permanent part of our family life.

PM me with any questions and your CV. Sorry but no Working Holiday Visas or Holiday Visas.

We’re hoping to meet with people over the next two weeks or so for a Monday 15th June start (with hopefully a half day prior with me to help settle you in).

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 5 days per week from 10am until 4pm, starting 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 a lawyer and my husband runs his own 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. 😊
