Our warm, creative and down-to-earth Annandale family is seeking a caring, experienced and energetic nanny to support their two young boys, aged 3 and 1. The family enjoys spending time outdoors, visiting local cafés and playgrounds, and engaging in creative and playful activities. They value gentle parenting, open communication and a nurturing approach that helps their children feel safe, confident and supported.

The family is particularly looking for someone with a strong understanding of early childhood development who can actively engage with the children, recognise their individual needs and thoughtfully support their emotional, social and developmental growth.

On Mondays and Wednesdays, the nanny's primary focus will be caring for B1 while his older brother attends daycare. A typical day will involve supporting his feeding and nap routines, preparing meals, enjoying walks, outdoor play and age-appropriate activities. As he grows, the family hopes to introduce outings such as playgroups, Gymbaroo and library sessions.

The role also involves assisting with family meal preparation, laundry and light household duties when time permits. The family understands that childcare will always take priority, with household responsibilities adjusted according to the children's needs and daily routines.

Saturday evenings will provide an opportunity for the nanny to spend more time connecting with B3, who is a kind, sensitive and playful little boy.



The family hopes to find someone who can gradually build his trust, understand his emotions and help him feel comfortable and secure during evening and bedtime routines.

The ideal nanny will be warm, patient, playful and emotionally attentive, with the confidence to gently guide children through everyday challenges while encouraging independence and positive behaviour. The family values someone who is organised, proactive, reliable and comfortable working collaboratively with parents.

In return, the family offers a welcoming and supportive home workplace, open communication and the opportunity to build a meaningful, long-term relationship with their children.

Duties & Responsibilities include:
• Providing attentive, nurturing and developmentally appropriate care for B1 during weekdays
• Supporting feeding, naps, nappy changes and daily routines
