Temporary 8-Week, 2-Day Infant Nanny - Marrickville NSW

- The role is focused on infant care, with only light baby-related household duties required
- Free all-day street parking is available, no driving required

Our lovely Marrickville family is seeking a warm, nurturing and experienced temporary nanny to care for their happy and relaxed 3-month-old baby boy, two days per week for approximately eight weeks.

Baby is described as a chilled and content little boy who enjoys cuddles, gentle interaction and pram walks along the nearby Cooks River pathway. His routine is still developing, with wake windows of approximately 1-1.5 hours and naps lasting between 45 minutes and two hours. The nanny will provide attentive, age-appropriate care, including tummy time, developmental play, nappy changes and supporting his feeding and sleep routines.

Baby is exclusively breastfed and receives expressed breast milk by bottle approximately every 2-3 hours. During nap times, the family would appreciate assistance with light baby-related duties, including washing and sterilising bottles, organising the nappy bag and keeping baby areas tidy.

Mum or Dad will be working from a separate studio in the backyard and available if needed. The family also has two older daughters, aged 2 and 5, who attend daycare and kindy, so the role will focus solely on caring for their baby boy.

The ideal nanny will be gentle, patient and experienced with young infants, confident following a adaptable routine and providing a calm, loving and engaging environment.
