Job description

We are looking for a warm, reliable, easy-going and highly organised Live-In Housekeeper/Nanny to support our household and help care for our 18-month-old son.

A nanny works weekdays from 9am to 5pm, so this additional live-in role focuses on early mornings and evenings, household management, tidying and organisation, weekend childcare, cooking for the family and occasional travel. Flexibility, discretion and adaptability are essential.

Outside your dedicated childcare hours, you will be responsible for the housekeeping duties listed below.

Example Schedule

The role is 40 hours per week. Your specific hours will change from week to week depending on the parents’ work schedule, with one week’s notice given. The schedule below is an example only.

Wednesday to Friday

• Morning: 6:30am to 9:00am
• Evening: 5:00pm to 8:00pm

Weekend hours depend on the parents’ schedule and usually follow one of two patterns:

• A split shift, 6am to 9am and then afternoon into evening
• A full day, 9am to 5pm, when the parents are working

Flexibility

You will need to be flexible with schedule changes, evenings, occasional extra hours and travel. When a parent is available to take over childcare, you can use that time to keep working through household tasks during your shift.

Days off:

Monday and Tuesday

Daily light cleaning

• Kitchen surfaces, dishes, dishwasher and light sweeping

• Living area organisation and vacuuming
