- Helping prepare and supervise breakfast

- Helping the children get dressed and ready for the day

- Tidying the kitchen and children's areas as you go

- Helping the family get organised and out the door around 8:00am

- Proactive and able to take initiative

- Someone who naturally notices what needs to be done and gets on with it

Someone who is also comfortable caring for a child at home if they are occasionally unable to attend preschool/daycare due to illness would be a wonderful advantage. One of the parents would likely also be working from home in these circumstances, but this is not essential to the role.

This would suit someone who enjoys being part of a busy family household and takes genuine pride in making everyday family life a little easier.
