Hi there,

Hello!

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 🙏🏻

Thank you! 💛

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. She then either picks the kids up from school if they are to be taken to sports or waits for them to get home on the bus and looks after them until I get home (between 5.30 and 7pm). 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 would like someone who is firm with the kids but also knows how to engage and have fun with them. Our youngest is 6 and our oldest 12yo.
