Part-Time After-School Nanny / Babysitter Needed n
Hi, I am looking for a reliable, caring and responsible babysitter/nanny to help look after our two children — a girl who is turning 9 this year and a 7-year-old boy.
n
We are initially looking for help on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons/evenings, primarily with school pick-up and the children’s after-school routine. Additional hours can be arranged for the right person, depending on availability and our needs.
n
The role will include:
n
n
- Picking up the children from school and bringing them home safely.
n
- Supervising and assisting with homework and schoolwork, particularly reading and writing.
n
- Encouraging regular reading and helping them stay organised with their school responsibilities.
n
- Preparing snacks and light meals for the children when required.
n
- Helping them follow their usual after-school and evening routines.
n
- Engaging with the children through age-appropriate activities, play and conversation.
n
- Assisting with light household duties and general tidying, particularly tasks associated with the children,
such as tidying after meals and activities, putting away dishes and keeping their areas organised.
n
- Encouraging valuable habits, independence and consistent routines.
n
n
We are looking for someone who is patient, dependable, organised and genuinely enjoys spending time with children. It would be particularly helpful to have someone who is confident assisting with primary-school homework, reading and writing and who can provide a warm but consistent approach to routines and boundaries.
n
A current Working with Children Check, First Aid qualification, driver’s licence and reliable car are required. Previous experience caring for school-aged children and parent references are strongly preferred.
n
We would ideally like to find someone interested in a consistent, ongoing position who can get to know the children and become a trusted part of their weekly routine. For the right person, there is flexibility to arrange additional hours beyond the regular after-school days.
