• Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday- 1 pm to 5.30/6 pm

•  A boy aged 8 and girls aged 5 and 3

 The young lad is calm and gentle. He enjoys reading, playing soccer and cricket and Pokémon. 

Miss 5 is bubbly and caring. She loves doing arts and craft.   

Miss 3 is caring and confident. She loves playing with Barbies and other dolls, and drawing.  

This lovely family live in the beautiful beachside location, close to the beach and parks. They have a small backyard and pool.  Dad is a specialist and Mum also works in health.  Their long-term nanny is retiring and they are looking for a warm, caring, and reliable person to become an extension of their family to help support the afternoon rhythm of our busy household.

Their ideal candidate is someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with children, is nurturing and engaging, and is happy to jump into the day-to-day flow of family life. The nanny should be flexible and proactive, and equally comfortable playing with the kids, helping with after-school routines, preparing simple family meals, hanging out washing, picking up groceries, or helping keep things running smoothly around the home. A safe and confident driver is essential, as the role will involve school pick-ups/drop-offs and transporting the children to extracurricular activities. More than anything, they are looking for a kind, capable “mum-type” person — someone who can provide practical support, warmth, and stability in the afternoons so that mum can continue working, knowing the kids and household are well cared for. 

They would especially welcome applications from experienced mums, nannies, carers, or semi-retired women looking for meaningful part-time work with a family. 

Ideally, you are:

• Warm, patient, and caring. 
• Good driving record
• Reliable, honest and trustworthy with good, friendly communication skills
• Have strong experience 
• Have excellent initiative, and experience to know instinctively how to support the family by displaying good time-management skills
• You are available afternoons and early evenings

• Creating engaging, play-based learning activities
• Daycare/school pick up in the family car
• Afternoon routine, unpack lunch boxes, afternoon tea,
• Preparing meals, snacks, and lunches
•  Help maintain a clean and tidy home
• Light domestic duties
• Open to extra duties such as shopping

 ($35 to $40 + negotiable)

The family are looking for some flexibility to suit their busy lifestyle.  Ask Cathie for more details.

• The afternoon shift is 2 pm to 7.30 pm, but a full day may be added to make up more hours

•  A boy aged 12, and girls aged 9 and 2

The two older children go to separate schools in Southport and the 2-year-old attends Day Care 4 days a week. 

 They are involved in a wide range of sports throughout the year and enjoy spending time on the family farm in the school holidays.

 They are generally well-mannered children and had a nanny in Singapore. 

This lovely family have recently moved back to the Coast after living in Singapore for 7.5 years and are now happy to be living in a lovely waterfront home in a fabulous location. Dad is a Managing Director and often travels, and Mum is working part-time in HR. They have two small dogs and a farm a couple of hours away.

Mum needs help with the after-school routine as she hops from school to school and activity to activity.  She finds the two-year-old is being dragged about when she would prefer her to be home, happily bathed and fed, before her siblings get home.  Mum may be home whilst the nanny operates the family taxi service or take turns with the nanny.

 A children focused reliable, proactive honest caring natured person that will get in and maintain their routine with pick ups, homework, play time and food preparations. The ideal nanny likes to be busy and be willing to help with household chores from time to time. They must be neat and tidy and maintain the standard of the household. They need to have good communication skills open to feedback and be willing at times for the schedule to change - Eg the dad is held up in traffic, and you may have to do a school pick up at semi late notice. They have two small dogs so animal lover would be necessary.
