We are a family of three, soon to be four (baby boy arriving mid-May) living in north Brighton (we are a four minute walk from Gardenvale station). Mum is a tax lawyer taking an extended career break and dad is a busy plastic surgeon. We are looking for a caring, responsible and reliable babysitter / mother’s helper to help out with our six year old high-functioning neurodiverse son on Monday and Tuesday mornings (6:45-10:45am), and the new baby when required.
The role would mainly involve supervising our son getting ready for school, making his breakfast and lunch, and helping us with tidying the kitchen (post breakfast and lunch prep) and living space, some laundry and possibly a bit of food prep / unpacking and putting away groceries (to the extent there is time). No heavy cleaning or housework is required as we have weekly cleaners. We may need you to take the six year old to school (St Michael’s Grammar) on the train, or for you to look after the baby while mum takes him to school.
Experience with young babies preferred but not essential. Rate is negotiable based on experience. Would suit someone studying or looking to supplement another job.
Ideally you would be able to start at the end of April to enable our son to get used to the arrangement prior to the arrival of the new baby.
More hours may become available when dad goes back to doing public work (in addition to his private work) in July and over the winter school holidays. Some evening work may also be available over time if of interest.
