We are looking for an experienced, fun and proactive au pair to join our family for 6-12 months! We require help with the children for about 35 hours per week, as well as light house duties, such a tidying, children’s washing and meal preparation. We will provide private accommodation for our au pair (which is separate to the main house) with its own bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette, as well as groceries and basic living expenses (such as wifi and netflix).

The au pair will be paid a weekly rate as agreed.

Please get in touch with any questions :)

Long-term, part-time nanny who is kind, organised, firm and responsible to look after my darling, sweet, social 5-year-old boy (I know all Mums think that about their children, but he really is). Every Wednesday and Thursday, every Friday alternating half and full day.
It would be somewhat long hours, but with the option to (or not to) take a few hours off in the middle of the day:

- 7am start, drop to school, some housekeeping, school pick up and then care until I am home, (likely around 6pm).
- 1 week out of 4, I would need you to stay overnight (in your own room with a king-sized bed and sharing an ensuite with the boy) in case I get called in to work. This has happened only once in the last 3 years, but I do need to be there within 30 mins, so it is much better if you are just at ours so I can just get up and go and nobody but me needs to wake up.

But, you would be suitably compensated! Some weeks would be not such long days, and there would be flexibility to scale up and down. You would have the option to use your own car (I would provide a booster seat) or use my car. There are lots of shops / cafes / supermarket in easy walk, and we are close to bus, tram and train lines, but at the moment the school is a half-hour drive away.

Keeping a tidy and organised home is a big part of the role, but we have weekly cleaners as well, so don't expect cleaning (!). By far the most important thing is keeping my boy healthy, engaged and happy.

Start period really anytime from now. If this sounds like something you can help us with please contact me!

Hello,
We are a young family living in South Yarra and have 7-week-old newborn twins, a boy and a girl. We are looking for an experienced nanny who can help us to look after the twins and perform light housework (putting on a load of washing, stacking a dishwasher, light tidying, folding baby clothes, etc.) Most of the time, one parent would be home during a nannying shift, so the role is essentially providing an extra pair of hands! Sometimes the role would involve looking after the twins so we can go to appointments and meetings.
We are looking for a friendly, nurturing and energetic person who loves children and ideally has experience looking after twins, and is happy to help us around the house. Ideally, we are seeking someone who can help in the mornings from around 9.30-12.30pm, Monday-Friday but we can be flexible on the days/times.
Thank you, we look forward to hearing from you!
