We're looking for an experienced, warm and reliable nanny to care for our 9-month-old son in our home in Palm Beach.

You'll need previous experience caring for babies and young children, ideally in a nanny role, and references from families you've worked with that we can call. Beyond that, attitude is everything to us. We want someone who's genuinely attentive, reads what a baby needs and responds to him, and is flexible as his routine changes.

THE AFTERNOON ROLE

Afternoons are somewhere between 12 and 6, usually 3 to 6 hours a day, 2 to 5 days a week, up to a maximum of 30 hours a week. We're happy to be flexible with which days and the hours on particular days to suit the right person.

Your main focus would be our son: being attentive to his needs, following his routine and offering warm, responsive care. Alongside that, you'd prepare a simple family dinner, easy things like spaghetti bolognese, tacos or a quiche in the oven, and do some light household chores while he naps.

During school terms, there'll be school pick-ups for our 6-year-old daughter, plus drop-offs and pick-ups for her afternoon activities. In the school holidays, she'll also be home some of the time. She's very independent and mostly entertains herself, so it's really just preparing her meals and snacks, the odd pick-up or drop-off, and taking both kids out for a walk or to the park.

THE FULL TIME OPTION For a career nanny, we can turn this into a full-time role by adding mornings with my sister's family in Currumbin. You'd start your day there, then come over to us for the afternoon.

In the mornings,



you'd care for her 1.5-year-old son when she needs to go out, and do some cleaning, groceries and household chores. There'd also be the occasional daycare drop-off for her 4-year-old daughter. On days when her daughter isn't at daycare, you might look after her, take her out somewhere or do something fun together.

The two families are cared for separately at different times, so you'd never have more than two children with you. Anywhere from 3 to 5 days a week works for us, and we can shape the hours around you. It's one employer, one contract, with super and leave entitlements included. Each mum will guide the care and routines for her own children and home, so you'll always know who to check in with.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

- Experience caring for babies and young children, with references from previous families
- A current blue card (essential), plus first aid and CPR (preferred)
- A full licence held for at least five years, a clean driving history with no at-fault accidents, and your own reliable car with car seats fitted. We'll ask shortlisted applicants for a copy of their Queensland traffic history.

We'll start with a paid trial shift.

PAY

$40 an hour, which includes use of your car for school and activity runs. Everything is within 10 minutes of home, usually around 20 to 30 minutes of driving on school days.

If this sounds like you, send a message with a bit about yourself, your experience with babies and toddlers, the families you've worked with, and whether the afternoon role or the full-time option suits you best.
