About the Family

A professional, organised and values-driven family based in Neutral Bay is seeking an experienced, capable and proactive nanny/household manager to support their home and care for their youngest son.
The family has two boys. The role will primarily focus on their Year 3 son, who attends Neutral Bay Public School (just 600m from home). Their eldest son attends St Ignatius’ College Riverview and is largely independent with minimal overlap in the nanny’s working hours.

The youngest child is exceptionally bright (top 1% IQ, formally assessed) and thrives with autonomy, intellectual engagement and structured support. He has a full schedule of extracurricular activities and therapies including music (drums), OT, speech and soccer training. This role requires someone who genuinely connects with gifted children, understanding their intensity, curiosity and reduced social/emotional battery at the end of a busy day.
