Long Term Casual 2-Day Mother's Helper – North Kellyville NSW

- Driving is not required initially, but access to a family car may become available in the future
- Experience with energetic toddlers is highly desirable
- Child has allergies to onions and soy

​​Our easygoing and busy North Kellyville family is seeking a reliable, nurturing and energetic Mother’s Helper to support Mum with the care of their energetic 3-year-old daughter. Mum owns a business and is looking for someone who can confidently care for her daughter and provide her with uninterrupted time to focus on her work.

The child is a happy, active and social toddler who enjoys being outdoors, playing, dancing, singing, sensory activities and exploring. The family values connection, gentle boundaries, calm co-regulation and supporting her development through age-appropriate activities and interactions.

Mum works from home and will initially be present during most shifts. The successful candidate will need to be confident engaging the child independently, understanding toddler development and keeping her safely and happily occupied while Mum works. Some of Mum’s work takes place in the kitchen, so it is particularly important that the child is safely engaged away from the kitchen during these periods.

​​The family is looking for someone who is reliable, genuinely enjoys working with toddlers, understands child development and is willing to work collaboratively with Mum to support the family. The ideal nanny will be genuinely playful, energetic and engaged, with the patience and confidence to meet a high-energy toddler at her level while remaining calm, nurturing and safety-conscious.

This is a lovely opportunity for someone who is patient, proactive and enthusiastic, and who is looking to build a trusting relationship with the family over the longer term.
