About the Role

The nanny will play a key role in household organisation, meal preparation, errands, and after-school support. The two teenage girls are independent and engaged in activities, so the role is a mix of mentorship, light supervision, and helping to keep everything running smoothly.

Typical Day:

 

• Morning: The parent will handle the morning routine and school drop-off. The nanny starts at 10 AM and focuses on house tasks, cooking, or shopping.
• Afternoon: Children return home around 4 PM—the nanny may assist with sport drop-offs or homework as needed.
• Evening: Help with meal preparation and ensuring the household is organised for the next day.

 

Responsibilities:

Household & Meal Preparation

• General household organisation, shopping, laundry, and cooking.
• Preparing nutritious meals, considering one child is a bit fussy while the other is open to all foods.
• Keeping the kitchen tidy, stacking/unpacking the dishwasher, and managing basic household tasks.
• A cleaner comes in weekly, therefore no heaving cleaning required

Childcare & Family Support

• Providing mentorship and guidance to two teenage girls.
• Assisting with homework (if needed) and supporting their school routines.
• Potentially driving to after-school activities (e.g., netball).
• Encouraging independence and responsibility while being a positive role model.

Transport & Errands

• Driving is required, but the nanny does not need to have their own car.
• A family car is available for use when needed, or Ubers can be arranged.

Pets

• The family has two mini dachshunds, but they attend doggy daycare 4 days a week. The nanny may need to occasionally walk them when required.

 

Expectations:

 

• 5+ years of experience in a similar role
• Have a current first aid certificate (or happy to obtain one)
• Have a current Working With Children’s Check
• Display strong communication skills
• Non smoking
• Full and clean drivers license

This is a fantastic long-term role for someone looking to be part of a warm and supportive family. If you love working in a dynamic household and would enjoy providing mentorship and support to growing teenagers, we’d love to hear from you!
