A warm and welcoming family in Victoria Park is seeking an experienced, nurturing, and proactive nanny to care for their baby boy. The role will begin part-time, with the intention that this arrangement will continue for some time before expanding to full-time, depending on family needs. The family values a child‑led, nurturing, and developmentally focused approach. They are looking for someone who brings emotional intelligence, positive energy, and a genuine interest in supporting early learning and exploration.
Key Requirements
- Strong baby experience (4 months+) with a clear understanding of developmental milestones.
- Paediatric First Aid qualification.
- Demonstrated continued professional development – keeps up to date with childcare best practice, early years development, and modern approaches.
- Physically fit and active – the home has three sets of stairs; the family is very outdoorsy and would like their son to have an active, nature‑rich childhood.
- Able to swim and willing to take the baby to swimming lessons, joining in when needed.
- Comfortable implementing a flexible rhythm rather than a rigid routine, supporting secure and predictable days.
- Knowledge of age‑appropriate activities, sensory play, music, reading, and early stimulation.
- Confident organising social opportunities, local groups, and engaging outings.
- Open communicator and team player, working collaboratively with parents.
- Happy to sign a contract including a non‑disclosure clause.

- Maintain a safe, calm, and engaging environment that encourages curiosity and independence.
Ideal Candidate
- Emotionally intelligent – able to "read the room" and adapt to the family's needs and rhythms.
- Flexible – comfortable transitioning between shared care and sole charge depending on mum's unpredictable business days (which can change last minute).
