We are a family of 4, with two boys aged 12 and 7.5.

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 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.
Looking for a reliable and trustworthy nanny to look after our 2 year old twin girls as our current nanny will be having a child of her own soon. We need someone who is available 4 days a week Tuesday to Friday as I'm back at work. Must have Working with Children's Check and First Aid. Preferably qualified in Certificate III Early Childhood Education & Care. Hourly rate from $35 depending on experience. If this interests you, send me a message and we can have a chat.
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.
Posting here in case there’s someone local who might be a great fit 💫

🧼 2 hours of light tidying/cleaning in the main living areas

Let’s just say… with three little ones, the house can turn into a tornado zone real fast 🤪
