A little bit about us:

Our little boy is a confident, kind, happy 6 year old who loves animals, trains, understanding his world and learning to be independent.
He is curious, asks lots of questions, hearing the answers, learning new things, telling you about them and loves mastering new tasks.
He understands himself well and is very good at advocating for himself, and he knows that we will listen to him and believe him. He loves music and singing to music.
He loves school and his friends at school.

We need this help as we both need to leave for work early however we are pretty engaged parents, with a lot of family support close by as well, and we’ll ensure that you are well supported and have everything you need to do this caregiving role well!

Our brand of parenting is one driven by best practice, data, reliable resources (raising children network, RCH guidelines, advice from GPs and other paediatric resources), principals that support children’s emotional wellbeing and the fundamental respect for a child’s space to grow, explore who they are, play, be silly, funny and cheeky and learn about their world!

We’re looking for someone who:
-has pro-social skills (Empathy, respect, kindness and gratitude) and because of these generally has positive interactions with others (a wordy way of saying you’re just generally a nice person!)
-understands and values being on the same side of children, and building a positive narrative around them.
-has a strong understanding and respect for the importance of body safe rules, child safe rules and safe adult rules.
-understands the importance of finding and giving them small opportunities frequently to succeed at things and celebrating these and them.
-genuinely sees children as equal, worthy and important individuals with autonomy and agency.
-ideally, has experience working with 6 year olds, and thus an approximate understanding of where a 6 year old is at developmentally and patience for what they can and cannot do.

Need mother's helper / second pair of hands to help with 5 month old baby in the evening while hubby is on work trip. Need you to play with baby (so I can quickly shower + eat dinner), hold baby when upset, help me bath baby. Need help for 2.5 hours each evening Weds 4th, Thurs 5th, Fri 6th March. Typically awake 5-7.30pm once baby wakes up from last nap.
Will consider ongoing casual babysitting if we like you.
Looking for someone with experience with babies, can stay calm and follow my instructions, mine is a cranky one in the evenings!
Pay negotiable. Can do cash in hand.

We are looking for someone to join our family full time (Monday to Friday - 7.30am to 5.30pm). We welcomed our twins in late October and have an almost 4 year old who goes to childcare full time. We are a very busy household with both parents working full time. The role will be full time, and we will pay a full time salary + super and leave entitlements. Start date March/April depending on availability.

We would be looking for someone who will be part of our family and:
- Has experience looking after twins or multiple children (6 month +)
- Understands key development milestones and supports children with appropriate activities to achieve them
- Is a well rounded caregiver and loves what they do
- Is reliable (mum travels for work and we will need someone whom the family can depend on as we don't have any family nearby)

Duties:
- Sole focus on the twins
- Feeding, playing, development activities, putting to bed, bathing etc
- Folding babies laundry and doing their washing if its required
- Keeping the house tidy - putting away baby toys, clothing etc at the end of the day when they are finished for the day, emptying dishwasher if used. Cleaner comes fortnightly.

We are looking for a caring and reliable person to help us with afterschool care of our 5 year old daughter, who attends school within walking distance from our house. We also have a 2 year old daughter who attends childcare a short car drive away, and occasionally we may require you to collect her as well.

The role would involve collecting our daughter from school, playing with her and preparing dinner for the kids. We would also appreciate someone who is happy to take the initiative with some light housework (e.g. empty dishwasher, hang and fold washing, pick up toys, clean out lunch boxes etc)

Our 5 year old is an energetic, inquisitive girl who loves craft, books, singing and dancing. We live opposite a beautiful park and she enjoys running and playing at the playground there. Our 2 year old is a very happy little girl who loves her food and her big sister!

We have a very friendly miniature schnoodle, so being comfortable around dogs is a must.

Looking to start with 2-3 days per week, this may increase as year goes on (we are flexible with days). Hours would be 3pm start and finishing around 6pm. Likely to be extra hours during school holidays and when mum and dad need a babysitter for the rare date night.

Any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
