We are a family of four, my wife (Nidhi), our daughter (Saara), our dog (Chikoo) and myself.
We are based out of Macleod, about 15km north east of Melbourne city. My wife is currently living away in Sydney as she is doing her three years studies which she started in January this year. Hence the need for me to have someone to take care of Saara as an elder sister.
I have a background in IT (Cyber Security) and also have a growing business in my spare time as my long term plan. Saara is mostly independent as an 11 yrs old and your work would mainly be around helping her as a elder sister / friend along with basic household chores. You get pocket money, a separate ensuite, food, internet, Netflix, Disney+, Prime etc etc. As yet we have had 3 AuPairs and it has been a wonderful experience for both sides.
If you are a student completing your studies, we can work on a schedule to make sure you can balance your time accordingly. If this is something you are looking for, I am keen to hear from you and get to the details.

Please message me with any questions, and for serious applicants the outgoing nanny is available to have a chat to as well. Will require WWC check, first aid certificate, and references. Ideally looking for someone who lives nearby, so please include your location in application.
