With our two boys going into Grade 2 and 5, we are looking for a superstar house-helper, somewhere between a housekeeper and a nanny.

After collecting the children from school/sport, main duties would be folding washing, preparing evening meal, one 'bigger job' per week (like clean windows or change sheets or wipe out fridge), perhaps a bit of ironing or prepping lunchbox snacks or some local errands. The boys have their own chores to help contribute, and need an adult nearby to ask, should they need help with homework but otherwise are pretty self-sufficient.

If you enjoy having well behaved (almost always!) kids around for company but are a clean machine and enjoy keeping a tidy home, this could be for you. Pay and hours negotiable for the right person.

Hello!

We are a family of 4...my Husband and I have two gorgeous kids; a 3 year old girl and an 18 month old boy.

We have had a long term nanny with us who is at the end of her visa and now needs to leave Australia so we're looking for another wonderful nanny to join our family. We have secured a nanny who will work Mon, Tues, Thu and Friday and are now looking for someone to do Wednesday's 7am-6pm.

We both work full time. Our daughter starts Kindergarten in January 2025 and our Son is at home.

We are looking for a fun loving nanny who loves kids and gets joy from seeing them laugh, learn and grow.

The role includes dropping off and picking up our daughter from kindergarten (700m down the road) and taking care of our Son (feeding, playing, putting to sleep for nap, taking out for outings to library, park, playgroups and classes). Other duties include preparing kids meals, packing Kindergarten lunchbox, laundry, unstacking and stacking dishwasher/keeping kitchen clean and tidy, keeping lounge room and kids rooms tidy (picking up toys etc). We have a cleaner 1 x per week so no deep cleaning is required but a light vacuum of living areas once a week or so between cleans is appreciated.

If it is preferred, we can aim to have you finish earlier when we can get home earlier (between 5-6pm) however flexibility is preferred.

We have a car for you to use with the kids.

We value our nanny/'s so much. We don't have any family support in Melbourne so you're really a big part of our lives and the reason we can work and enjoy a beautiful family at the same time.

We look forward to hearing from you if this sounds like an opportunity that you're interested in.
