Hi all,

My family relocated to Melbourne from San Francisco a few months ago. We live in Kew with our 3 children aged 6, 4 and nearly 2; our daughter goes to Camberwell Primary while the other two do a mix of kinder (Hawthorn East) + childcare (Kew).

I am looking for someone who could help weekday afternoons from around 2-6pm - helping with school pick-ups and drop-offs to after-school activities for the oldest 2. To start, we'd need help 2 days a week - Tue / Wed. Starting in Jan 2025, we'd look to increase to 4 days a week - Mon-Wed + Fri.

During school holidays or weeks when one parent is traveling for work, we may also ask for more hours - as possible.

Ideally, we would love to find someone who is:

* Mature and experienced - bringing confidence, comfort and good judgment around small kids - able to bring fun and playfulness yet maintain firm boundaries

* Warm and kind - creating strong positive attachments with our kids

* Engaged and development oriented - thoughtful about exposing the kids to activities and experiences that will help them learn and grow - i.e., on the floor talking and playing vs looking at phones + screens

*Trustworthy, responsible and prompt - shows up when and where promised - always with honesty and integrity

*Respectful - listens to and supports our intentions as parents - takes care to leave the space better than you found it

* Has a drivers license, car and strong driving record - and willing and able to drive 2 kids

Bonus points would be someone who:

* Has flexibility for additional hours as needed (esp. during school holidays)

* Speaks French

Will pay a competitive rate for the right fit.
