About the Family
This fun-loving and active professional family has three energetic boys aged 7, 5, and 2. Both parents run their own businesses in the building industry and work full time. Their home is filled with energy, outdoor play, and plenty of sports—afternoons often include soccer, footy, bike riding, or backyard games.
The family is currently based in Wynnum and will relocate to Clayfield before Term 4. The two older boys will transition to new schools, and the youngest will move to a new daycare. Until the move is complete, the nanny will need to manage school and daycare runs from Manly to Clayfield.
- 7-year-old (Grade 2): Soccer enthusiast, energetic, enjoys school (especially maths), and needs encouragement with daily reading.
- 5-year-old (Prep): Rugby league fan, excelling with sight words and early numeracy.
- 2-year-old: Attends daycare Mondays and Fridays, very active and athletic, already confidently kicking and passing balls.
The children don’t have screen time from Monday to Friday, so the nanny must be capable of keeping them engaged through creative play, outdoor adventures, and varied activities. There are no pets in the household.

Energy and enthusiasm are a must to keep up with three lively boys!
