We are seeking a long-term candidate that will be a valuable member of our family, as such we wish to appropriately compensate the right candidate.

We are a loving, happy and very busy family of four on the Gold Coast, seeking a professional Live-in or Live out Nanny | Household Manager to join our family. With two beautiful children aged 1 (girl) and 3.5 (boy) who both have 5 days childcare available to them, we are looking for someone to be part of not just our household, but our family. To this end, we are seeking only those who wish to be with us for longer than 12 months, who love kids and family and all the idiosyncrasies that go with that. A passport and the travel bug are a must as we often go away locally or otherwise with little notice when the opportunity in our work schedules presents itself. Between drop off and pick up Monday to Friday, your time/our house, pool etc is yours once household/meal prep needs are done unless the kids are home for a rest day, sick day or general life adventure.
We value our family's privacy, overall household organisation and efficiency, and forward thinking. We also love to just be ourselves in our home. Our business personas are very different to what you'll see on holidays or at the breakfast table!
