This Gold Coast family is seeking a dedicated and energetic nanny to care for their vibrant and athletic 5-year-old daughter. The child is driven, loves gymnastics, dance, singing, and painting. The position requires a reliable individual to work Monday through Friday from 12:30 PM to 6:30 PM, with one later night per week, typically Thursday, averaging 30-35 hours weekly. While the child attends school from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM, located within walking distance, the role includes managing after-school activities and occasionally covering longer hours during the summer. Weekend work is available but optional, and there may be rare, optional travel opportunities. The family has a cat, requiring minimal care such as feeding and occasional litter box changes.
The ideal candidate should have a car and be comfortable with additional responsibilities, including meal preparation for the family four days a week, grocery shopping, home tidying, laundry, dry-cleaning drop-off and pick-up, light errands, and coordinating with contractors. The family values a nanny who is firm yet fun, with a good sense of humor, warmth, and an upbeat demeanor. They seek someone who is punctual, dedicated, organized, and able to provide developmental milestone suggestions. A collaborative, driven, and ambitious individual who can contribute to the child's learning and overall well-being would be a perfect fit. The position is able to begin as soon as the right fit is found, with flexibility around the start date.
