Hi there!

We’re looking for a wonderful and reliable nanny or babysitter to help with before school care on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, from 7am–9am.

• Walking them to school and kinder (both are within a 20–25 minute walk from our home) (20 minutes is also at a slow pace)

We’re a relaxed and friendly household, and this role would suit someone local who is looking for a few regular hours during the week.

There may also be opportunities for additional casual babysitting on weekends if you’re interested.

If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you!

* Warm and kind - creating strong positive attachments with our kids
* Engaged and development oriented - thoughtful about exposing the kids to activities and experiences that will help them learn and grow - i.e., talking and playing vs looking at phones + screens

* Respectful - listens to and supports our intentions as parents - takes care to leave the space better than you found it
* Flexible - quick to adapt as needs evolve, willingly flexing tasks / timing to support where it’s most needed
