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.

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.

Hi there!
We live in Richmond, though it's more like Cremorne, and we have a baby who is 7 weeks old (as at December 21) and a son who is 3.5. I'm looking for someone to arrive early - 6am - on his daycare days (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) and help me get him ready for daycare and then walk him up to daycare. Depending on experience with babies, I'd also like it if you can hold the baby for me while I do jobs in the house or I could take my son to daycare instead some days while you hold the baby at home. Once my son is dropped at daycare, I'm hoping you can come back to our house and do an hour or two of housework including clothes washing or dish washing. The morning job would be about 6am - 10am.
In the evening, we're hoping someone can pick my son up from daycare, walk back to our house, and help me get dinner organised before bathing my son and prepping him for bed. The evening would be about 5pm - 7:30pm.
If interested, we could meet at our house and have a chat. Police check, working with children's check and first aid essential. Thank you! Alexis
