- Fiendly, welcoming and organised professional family in Surry Hills are looking for an experienced nanny to care for their delightful B20 months.
Their little boy is curious, active and full of personality. We’re looking for someone who shares their love of learning, has a genuine passion for early childhood and takes joy in creating fun, engaging days. With both parents working full-time, they value a calm and positive home environment where their son can feel secure, thrive in his routines and explore the world around him.
The family hope to find a nanny who feels like part of the family. They should be thoughtful and dependable, take pride in what they do and are a great communicator.

About the Family
Mum works full-time from home in a global role and travels internationally every 6-8 weeks.
Please note mum has a home office upstairs..
Dad runs his own business and travels regularly within Australia and overseas. Their son has been cared for by his grandmother since Mum returned to work, and as he grows, they're now looking for a wonderful nanny to take on two of her days so she can have more flexibility and so their son can enjoy more structured, development-focused days.
The parents have both led teams and understand how important it is to create a respectful, supportive and flexible work environment. This is truly the most important role they've ever hired for, and they're looking for someone who will become a trusted and valued part of the family.
No pets. While parking is limited, there’s a small car space available during the day if needed. Their home is also very well connected by public transport, with buses, light rail, and Central Station all within easy walking distance.
They're excited to welcome the right person into their family from mid-January 2026 (with flexibility) for a minimum 12-month commitment, with the possibility of more days and a longer-term role as their family grows.
They can also offer some casual days prior to commencement of the role in 2026.
