Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Sylvania NSW

Hello!

We’re a warm, active family looking for a kind, capable nanny / house manager / dog minder to support our weekday routine and become a trusted part of our family life. We have two lovely kids — a daughter (8) and a son (10.5) — who enjoy playing together, spending time with friends, and are generally easygoing and well-mannered.

We are open to live out or live in - we have a granny flat which is separate from the house and has an attached patio.

We’re looking for help Monday–Friday from 3–7pm, plus Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 7–9am, with the possibility of additional hours if of interest.

Both parents work, and this role is about helping keep afternoons and mornings running smoothly. Responsibilities include:

• School drop off and pick ups, caring for the kids and supporting after-school routines
• Helping with dinner, light tidying, dishes and washing (we have cleaners)
• Walking our medium-sized dog, who is friendly and energetic and enjoys a good walk
• Occasional errands (post office, dry cleaning, small grocery runs)

We’re looking for someone kind, reliable, and practical who enjoys being helpful and takes pride in showing up consistently. This isn’t a short-term or casual role for us, but an important, trusted position within our family. We’re hoping to find someone looking for a meaningful, longer-term role who would enjoy settling into a familiar routine with us.

Start date is flexible :)

We’d love to hear from you.

Hi Carers,
we have two easy going and fun loving kids aged 8 and 6.
We're looking for a nanny to pick up them up from Earlwood Public School on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and watch them for about 3 hours. Thursday would also be nice, but not essential.

A local and experienced nanny with a car (and references) would be an ideal match.

We're a young family of four (plus a very friendly dog) looking for someone special to join our little fam in Glebe. Wednesdays and Thursdays, 8am to 6pm, starting mid-April.

What your day looks like:
* School drop-off and pickup for our 5 year old (it's a 2 min walk 🙌)
* Lots of quality time with our 7 month old - play, exploration, and getting messy with food
* Light house upkeep between naps (tidying, loading dishwasher, folding clothes - nothing major)
* After-school adventures: activities, playground runs, keeping both girls entertained
* Prepping/cooking dinner - we keep it easy or have a meal kit at the ready

You're probably a good fit if you:
* Have hands-on experience with babies (non-negotiable!)
* Hold a current CPR/First Aid cert
* Have a WWCC and Police Check
* Are cool with dogs 
* Caring, genuine, and reliable

We might occasionally need help on a weekend or weeknight too - no pressure, just a nice-to-have.
If this sounds like your kind of gig, drop us a message with a bit about you and your experience - we'll kick things off with a quick video call.

We’re a family based in Redfern looking for a warm, engaged nanny/babysitter to help care for our son. He’s currently 6 months old and will be around 12 months old when the regular role begins in August.

I’m currently on parental leave, so for now we’re looking for ad-hoc babysitting, with the plan to move to a regular role of 3–5 days per week from mid-August when I return to work. Ideally we’re hoping to find someone who would like to be with our family long term.

About the role:
• Caring for for our son
• Being present and engaged -singing, reading, playing and supporting his development
• Taking him out to activities such as swimming lessons, baby sensory classes, and walks
• Preparing simple baby meals and light baby-related tidying
• Light household help such as folding laundry, unpacking the dishwasher, and general tidying

We do have a cleaner, so we’re just looking for someone happy to help with small day-to-day tasks rather than deep cleaning.

I’ll also be working from home some days, so I’ll occasionally be around the house.

• Located in Redfern
• We have two friendly cats, so you’ll need to be comfortable with pets

About us:
I’m an IP lawyer and my husband runs a music company. We love travel and would ideally find someone who might be open to travelling with us from time to time. We’re a pretty relaxed household and enjoy things like games, trivia and music, and I also love Pilates & art.

I used to be a nanny myself for a number of years, so I really get what the job’s like. I know how much energy and care it takes, and how important it is to feel trusted and appreciated. We’re just looking for someone who’ll feel comfortable and part of the family.

About you:
• Warm, reliable and attentive
• Enjoys engaging with babies and supporting their development
• Comfortable taking a baby out to local activities
• Happy to help with light household tasks
• Interested in a longer-term role

If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you. Please send a message with a little about yourself and your experience. 😊

Hi,

My partner and I, are in search of an experienced nanny (approx hours 9am until 4:30pm and sometimes until 6pm).

Our beautiful baby girl - Elara-Penelope who is 6 months old, is very sweet, good natured and possess a happy temperament.

My partner and I are both career driven people and have demanding jobs so we need the extra help :)

My partner is anxious about leaving Elara (to be expected), we hope to find someone we can trust and connect with who can be an integral part of our early journey in parenthood.

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

We are looking for a full time nanny to take care of our 7 month old daughter as I return to work full time. We are based in Rozelle.
