About Our Family
We are a warm, busy family in Lane Cove looking for an experienced nanny / housekeeper to join us two days per week.
Our current Nanny who has been with us for two years is moving to a ful- time role in October with her other career and we are sad to see her go, she has become part of our family.
We have three young children.
Our eldest attends school, while our two younger children are cared for at home.
We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys being around children and brings warmth, energy and patience to their day.
We value reliability, initiative and open communication.
We would love to find someone who becomes a trusted and consistent part of our family's routine.
What we want you to help with
The role combines childcare with light household support.
You will help with school drop-off and pick-up for our eldest child (walking distance).
During the day, your main focus will be caring for our two younger children.
The younger children spend approximatelythree hours each morning with their grandparents.
This provides a regular child-free period to complete household tasks such as laundry, making beds and simple meal preparation.
Outside this time, we want someone who is actively engaged with the children.
This could include trips to the park, walks, reading, crafts, games and age-appropriate learning activities.
