We are a family in Elsternwick with a 3-year-old son and 6-month-old daughter looking for a self-motivated helper to take the mental load off us. We need someone who notices what needs doing and handles tidying and meal prep independently without step-by-step instructions.
NOW – EARLY 2027
3 hours/week (flexible day/time)
*Meal Prep:Independently plan, organise ingredients for, and cook at least 1 family meal per week.
* Occasional Babysitting:~1 session/month. Our son is slow to warm up to new people, so we want to start building a gentle relationship now so he feels comfortable with you before kinder pickups start next year. Must be comfortable managing both baby and toddler routines.
FROM FEBRUARY 2027
6 hours/week (Wednesdays & Fridays, 3:00–6:00 pm)
Schedule (Wed & Fri)
3:00–4:00 pm: family dinner prep + clean kitchen
4:00 pm: Kindergarten pickup for our 3-year-old
4:00–6:00 pm: Bring him home, engage/play, and complete family dinner prep
About You
* Proactive, self-directed, and reliable.
* Experienced with babies and toddlers, with thoughtful ideas on how to gently connect with a child who warms up slowly.
