We are looking for someone pretty special for this role, someone who genuinely loves working with children, understands the dynamics of working within a family home, and has the ability to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents.
This is a hands-on role.

Monday | 8:00am–5:00pm
Tuesday | 8:00am–6:00pm

Friday | 8:00am–5:00pm
The role will initially be offered on a
casual basis

part time employment for the right candidate

Consistency is really important to both Ohana and the family, so we are looking for someone who can commit to the ongoing roster and is interested in building a longer-term relationship with the family.
What the Role Looks Like
This family are busy bees!
Their weeks involve school, activities, appointments, home life and plenty of adventures, so this role will suit someone who enjoys being active, involved and adaptable.

Preparing meals and snacks
General household duties and tidying
Laundry and organisation of children's belongings
Family-related errands and household organisation




Helping keep the household running smoothly throughout the week
Working alongside the parents to provide consistency and support within their family routine

love to travel
, so the ability and willingness to travel with them when required is an important part of this position.
Who We're Looking For
We are specifically looking for someone with
previous nannying experience
who can demonstrate a high level of ability in caring for children, adapting to the changing needs of a busy family and developing strong interpersonal relationships.

A confident communicator who can work collaboratively with parents
Comfortable driving and transporting children
Willing and able to travel with the family when required
Professional and respectful of the trust, privacy and boundaries that come with working within someone's home
Above all, we are looking for someone who understands that professional nannying is about much more than simply supervising children.
It's about
connection, consistency, trust and becoming a secure and reliable person in a child's world.
