Hello Nanny’s,
I’m helping a former family find an amazing nanny for their little boy.
They are open to 2 options.
1. M-F 12/1pm until 7pm
This would be a mix of house tidy, errands, cooking then picking up child from daycare at 3pm to take home (play, bath, dinner, ready for bed).
2. 2:30pm - 7pm - pick up from daycare, play, bath, dinner, ready for bed.
The daycare is a 5 minute walk from home so driver not be necessary.
The mom is a single mom but works a demanding professional career so need someone who can manage things at home with very little direction, has solid references working with children under two, is mature and discrete and can help her keep everything moving along during the week so she can spend some time with him when she gets home.
There may be opportunities for extra hours in the evening, weekend or overnight if desired
She is looking for a start around the end of July.
Please send a message or send your CV and a little bit about yourself and experience to me as I am putting together suitable candidates for her to interview.
My email is natmorganconsulting@gmail.com

We have a 14 month old boy, Louis and are looking for someone to help us on Wednesday and possibly Thursday in Balmain from about 8am - 4/4:30pm, but this can be flexible sometimes. We may extend this to further days if someone has extra availability. I (Phoebe) am in the office but my husband Scott works from home. Scott will usually lock himself away to work but can help with louis when needed. Louis is a fairly calm, usually sweet baby (although started having the odd 10 second tantrum every now and then!) who loves a nonsense chat, book, big hugs - he’s a clinger! - playing with his toys and going to the park. He’ll have a nap during the day for a couple of hours and it might also be useful to just have a bit of light help with housework for an hour or so of that!

If you are available and this is of interest please send me a message with a bit about yourself and your experience.

This would likely result in further days/hours in the future.
