Hi everyone!

My husband Nick and I are looking for a lovely, reliable babysitter/nanny to help care for our two little boys, aged 6 (currently in prep) and 3.

We’re based in Brighton East and are hoping to find someone we can call on for occasional babysitting, with the potential for more regular work if it suits both parties.

Our work schedules can varyand we’ve previously relied on family to help with the boys. We’re now looking to find someone we can get to know and build a great relationship with, who can become a trusted part of our little family’s support network.

We’d love to hear from someone who is warm, happy to be flexible, caring, responsible and enjoys spending time with young children.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, we’d love to hear a little about you, your experience and your availability! We’d ideally arrange a time to meet first and see if it’s a good fit for everyone. 😊

Please feel free to send me a message!

Thanks so much,
Kathleen

Hi, I’m a solo mum of twin 6-year-old boys based in Beaumaris. I’m looking for some regular help with after-school pick-ups from Camberwell Primary School and bringing the boys home to Beaumaris, ideally a couple of afternoons each week during the school term.

I’m looking for someone warm, relaxed and confident with kids who would enjoy getting to know the boys and becoming a regular part of their routine. They’re energetic, funny and affectionate, and speak both French and English, so French would be a huge bonus (but definitely not essential).

You’ll need your own reliable car and to be comfortable with the drive from Camberwell to Beaumaris. I can provide booster seats.

Reliability and consistency are important, as I plan my work commitments around the school pick-ups. I’m ideally looking for someone who can commit on an ongoing basis rather than just for a few weeks.

There may also be opportunities for additional babysitting or extra hours from time to time if you’re interested.

Rate is negotiable depending on experience. Please get in touch if this sounds like it might suit you — I’d love to have a chat.
