We live walking distance (10-15mins) to Elsternwick Park, Elsternwick station, Elwood shopping strip and Martin St. We try to parent with respect and understanding of normal childhood development and behaviour (see @biglittlefeelings and @drbeckyatgoodinside for general principles). Our goal is to ensure our kids feel loved, valued and safe. Our previous nanny is happy to speak to candidates as our reference too.

Role and Responsibilities: School pick up and drop off Tuesday and Thursdays, with flexible occasional Mondays. Light housework (unpacking the dishwasher, kids food prep, folding clothes etc...), and dog walking is extremely helpful to us.
