We are a family of 4, with two boys aged 12 and 7.5.
We need after school care on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 3 to 6:30 pm.
Duties include:
- school pickups (from 1 school 600m away, the other is 3.5 km away)
- snacks
- drop off and pick up from tennis (3 km away)
- tidying up
- dinner/meal prep
- helping kids to pack up clothes, shoes, unpack school bags will be appreciated.
Both kids are high energy and love tennis, enjoy 0.5 hour of video games (except no technology-day is Wednesdays), are diligent but need gentle reminder on school homework etc. one boy does swimming lessons on Fridays. Time management is a great skill to have, as the boys are almost always 'on the go' but need to be organised in terms of packing tennis bags, water bottles, solid/healthy snacks etc.
Those with ongoing careers in childcare (E.g., either diploma courses, or experience in childcare centres) will be preferred. We have strong preference for those who are reliable and professional and will arrive on time and not skip days once they commit to this role.
We’re looking for a caring, reliable babysitter for our 8-month-old daughter on a casual basis. Duties include playtime, feeding, nappy changes, and settling for naps. Ideal candidate has experience with infants, is calm and confident, and holds a Working with Children Check. First aid preferred. Mainly weekdays; flexible timing.
If you’re warm, responsible, and love working with babies, we’d love to hear from you!
We're looking for a fun and energetic babysitter for our 3-year-old boy, who loves to stay active and explore. He’s full of curiosity and enjoys playing with cars, blocks and outdoor activities.
The ideal sitter will be someone that lives in the south-eastern suburbs, patient, playful, and experienced with toddlers, ready to keep up with his high energy and engage in creative play.
He is currently in childcare full time, but he used to go 3 days a week. So he misses a little that one on one time.
We are looking for someone that can help out after 5pm, the weekends/public holidays, in case he is sick and we cannot take time off work, or we go out at night. Also pick him up from childcare around 3pm once a week and do something fun, like going to the beach, park, library.
Tell me if that suits you, so we can arrange a meet & greet.
FYI we have a cat.
Hi there!
I’m navigating the world of two young kids and finally accepting the fact I need some help! Help will mainly be with my 6 month old daughter as my son who is 4 goes to kinder/childcare. I am after someone that has experience with looking after babies, who can help me at home looking after her and light house work duties (the never ending washing/ general tidying up of kids stuff). We are after a long term (at least 6 months) part time help. Once a week for 3-4 hours. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Posting here in case there’s someone local who might be a great fit 💫
Our wonderful nanny is moving back to the country, so we’re looking for someone to help support our young family. My husband and I both have full-on jobs, and we’ve got a gorgeous little tribe — three kids under 6 (1.5, 4 and 6).
We’re after someone who’s available on Wednesdays, ideally to help with a few things:
🧼 2 hours of light tidying/cleaning in the main living areas
🍽️ Prepping or cooking a simple family dinner
🚗 School/kinder pick-ups (must be able to drive)
Let’s just say… with three little ones, the house can turn into a tornado zone real fast 🤪
If this sounds like something you’d be up for — or you know someone who might be — please feel free to DM me for more details 🙏🏻

We are a busy family with four young boys who need help on an Thursday. Our amazing Nanny of 2 years has had a change to her university hours and we are now looking for someone to take over her Thursday work. Currently she arrive at our house at midday, folds and puts away laundry, cooks dinner and does some general tidying or household errands.

If she is there later she will give the kids dinner. There is some variable driving depending on afterschool activities as well as helping with readers and homework. We are looking for someone who is happy to do this as an ongoing part time job. We are away at times during school holidays but often there is even more work available on the holidays as the kids are off school.

Our vibrant family of five in Ashburton is on the lookout for a truly wonderful nanny to join our happy household! Meet our delightful trio: a charming 9-year-old girl, an energetic 8-year-old boy, and a playful 6-year-old boy.
We're seeking a special someone to provide before and after school care on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We're really hoping to find a nanny who isn't just great with kids, but also a fantastic organiser who can help ensure our home and all the children's activities are seamlessly managed. This means a few flexible hours during school time dedicated to kid-related household tasks, like preparing healthy meals, keeping on top of laundry, and baking those all-important school snacks.
Let's break down the days:
Mornings (7:15 am - 9:15 am): Your role would be instrumental in getting our children ready for school and assisting with their drop-off. The best part? The school is a short, less than 5-minute walk away, so no driving is necessary! There may also be an opportunity to get ahead on some meal or after-school snack preparation.
Afternoons (3:00 pm - 6:30 pm): This segment involves gathering after-school snacks, picking up the children from school (at 3:30 pm), and safely transporting them to their activities in a car we provide (most activities are approximately a 10-minute drive from our home). Upon returning home, your assistance with showering the children and some dinner preparation would be incredibly valuable.
If you're an organised, proactive, and warm individual ready to become an integral part of our family's routine, we would absolutely love to hear from you.

Hi there!
Our family is looking for an experienced nanny to help with school drop off and pick-ups. Monday - Wednesday.
Times as below:
Mornings 8am - 9am
Afternoons 230pm - 5pm.
Our current nanny of 2 years is heading off to do an exchange overseas and therefore looking for her replacement.
Would love to hear from you if you think you'd be a fit for this role :)!
We are keen to find an experienced nanny who is confident wrangling multiple kids of varying ages to welcome into and help out our family! We are a family of six, with four girls aged 3yrs, 6.5yrs, 9yrs and 11yrs. We are primarily hoping to find someone who for the remainder of 2025 could do:
- Mondays 8:30am - 5:30pm
- Tuesdays 8:30am - 6:15pm
- Thursdays 8:30am - 4:30pm
And ideally if things are working well, someone who might be available/consider continuing with the Tuesdays and Thursdays for 2026 and even 2027! (This is due to us securing a 3yr old and then 4yr old kindergarten place for the coming 2 years that runs Mon/Weds/Fri).
The daytimes would involve looking after our 3yr old, hopefully with a few regular activities such as a music class, swimming class, library and playground visits etc. After school on Tuesdays would involve collecting the older three girls from a local Primary school, bringing them home and supervising some chores (helping them put their washing away), homework, play, and helping start dinner would be an amazing help. Occasional babysitting at other evening/weekend times could be good too if suitable. We have been lucky to have some wonderful longer term nannies and Au Pairs over the years, and are keen to find a new special person to get to know and work with us. Thanks, look forward to hearing from you!
