We are a family of 4 living in Hawthorn East. My husband and I have a 8 yr old son and a 1 yr old son. We are searching for a caring person to help us with our morning school routine with our son and toddler. We would like help with school drop off in the morning for our 8 yr old son from Mon-Thurs. After the school drop off we would like help with baby sitting our toddler for 3 hours (till his noon nap). We would like the baby sitter to spend time with our toddler playing and doing activities that are applicable for his age.

Hi,

We're a busy family in Hawthorn East looking for a reliable, organised nanny to help us during the week. We have three children, a 10-year-old (turning 11 in September) and 8-year-old twins, all in primary school.

What we need help with:

- General household organising and tidying, including vacuuming upstairs (downstairs is handled by our robot vacuum) and wiping down surfaces, to keep the home running smoothly
- Laundry : washing, drying, folding and putting away
- School pick-up (one school only. the other is covered by family)
- Helping the kids with homework and their after-school routine

Deep cleaning is handled by our regular cleaner and meal prep is taken care of by family, so this role is focused on tidying, light cleaning, laundry, the children and homework.

Hours: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 12pm–6pm (6 hours per day, ~18 hours per week). Housework in the earlier part of the day, then school pick-up and the kids in the afternoon.

Ideal person: warm, patient and dependable with primary-aged children, confident supporting homework, with a current driver's licence and comfortable with school pick-up. Tidy and proactive around the house.

Thank you!

Monday to Friday from 7:30 until 9/9:30 then from 3 until 6.
