This job ad includes two roles.
I'm looking for a reliable local who is interested in casual babysitting on a Friday or Saturday night once or twice a month. We would negotiate start times but typically this would be between 5:00-6:30 and we are normally home by 10:30/11pm. I have a five year old daughter, and a dog. All are cheerful and experienced in being cared for by others. I'm open to having 2-3 sitters on rotation at any given time as I know you won't always want to give up your weekends. This may include an occasional weeknight from time to time.
Starting from February 2026, I'm looking for someone for 8-12 hours per week. This would be a minimum of 2 x 4 hours shifts from 2-6pm and will likely include school pick up, some basic meal prep (making snacks, lunch boxes / dinner), dropoff at after school lessons such as swimming, basketball, music etc depending on the day, bringing the child home and getting started on bath-time, homework/reading etc. I'm flexible on which day of the week based on your availability, but would like to have a consistent schedule. You should be comfortable getting around walking, cycling or on public transport. This role will include entitlements such as leave and super.
You should have experience caring for children in either a childcare or private nanny setting. In your response please let me know if you're interested in both roles, or if only one of the two roles - which one. If you're wanting to apply for the nanny role, please let me know which two days would suit you best.
I'll be accepting applications to the end of September. If this ad is still up, then neither role has been filled. Thank you.
Please let me know if you have any questions; and if you're available and interested, I'd be happy to discuss details.
