We are looking for a housekeeper / nanny to begin March 29th (flexible on start date if cannot start until later). We live in Moore Park.
Our children are aged 5 and 7 - both in school full time. Job would be 35 hours per week - core hours are 11:30am-6:30pm Mon to Fri, but start and end time can vary depending on children's activities. I work from home and my husband leaves the house for work. Children are in school during the day and would get home sometime between 3:45-5pm. We are looking for someone who has flexibility and the ability to work in the evenings as well. You would pick up the children from school on some days (requires driving).
