•  A boy aged 5 and an 18-month-old girl

A busy, curious five-year-old boy and a sweet, adventurous 18-month-old girl. They are both active, happy children who love exploring the world around them. Music is a big part of their day, whether it's singing, dancing, or enjoying interactive musical play. They love spending time outdoors at local playgrounds, climbing, running, and challenging themselves with age-appropriate physical activities. 

Mum is an Occupational Therapist and Dad works in the IT industry. They are a warm, down-to-earth family who have created a calm, happy, and welcoming home where family life is their priority. Their home has a wonderful open-plan layout with plenty of dedicated play space, providing the children with an environment that encourages creativity, exploration, and learning through play.

Located close to beautiful parks, the beach, the local library, and other family-friendly amenities, there are endless opportunities for outdoor adventures, community activities, and enriching experiences.

We are looking for a warm, organised, and proactive nanny who is genuinely passionate about supporting children's growth and development. It is important to us that our nanny understands the importance of emotional regulation and can provide calm, consistent guidance, while being open to working alongside us in supporting this approach.

Our ideal nanny takes initiative and enjoys creating a well-organised environment where the children can thrive. They will naturally stay on top of the children's daily routines and household tasks related to their care, ensuring play areas are reset and organised at the end of the day, benches, floors and the highchair are cleaned, and everything is put away ready for the next day.

They will be happy to prepare healthy meals and snacks for the children, including lunches and dinner when required, along with cleaning up afterwards. They will also assist with keeping the children's bedrooms tidy and organised, resetting clothing when needed, and ensuring school bags and the nappy bag are replenished and ready each day, with lunchboxes and drink bottles washed and nappies restocked.

Most importantly, we are looking for someone who loves engaging with children and takes the initiative to plan fun, creative, and developmentally appropriate activities. Whether it's music, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, imaginative play, animal experiences, playground visits, or water play, our ideal nanny will bring enthusiasm, creativity, and a genuine love of helping our children learn, explore, and enjoy each day. They will become a valued extension of our family, bringing warmth, reliability, and a positive, nurturing presence into our home.

Boys aged 4 and 2

This warm and busy family is seeking a caring and engaging nanny to support their two creative little boys, aged 4 and 2, who love imaginative play and spending time together. 

Mum and Dad are business owners who work long hours and are looking for someone dependable, proactive, and nurturing to become a valued part of their family life.

The family enjoys a very healthy lifestyle, with most meals prepared from scratch, so they would love a nanny who shares similar values around nutrition and wellbeing. They live on a beautiful acreage property with plenty of outdoor space to explore, as well as a very large rumpus room perfect for creative play and activities.

•  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
