    Au Pair Wanted Immediate Start

    We’re an open-minded, creative family living a natural lifestyle, seeking someone who values freedom, connection, and conscious living. I’m a solo professional mum raising two amazing kids in a relaxed, alternative household. We use forest school, spend time in nature, cook wholefoods, and approach life with curiosity and kindness. Our home is filled with books, music, art, and lots of laughter. If you’re grounded, love kids, and enjoy a slower, intentional way of living, we’d love to meet you!

    What We Offer:

    Private studio - saltwater pool & sauna (pairs welcome) 10 minutes from beaches walking to Uni
    Exclusive use of your au pair car – must have a licence & driving experience
    350 pocket money per week + accommodation, food, car, WiFi
    Great schedule:
    Tuesdays & Wednesdays free from 9:30 AM
    Weekends off (Sat & Sun)
    Two weeks paid holiday every six months (timing negotiable)
    Supportive environment: Previous au pair references available

    Experience with Neurodivergent kids highly regarded as is quals in education, support work or psychology but not essential. Temperament and attitude is everything!

    About Our Family:

    I’m a work-from-home mum (3 days/week at home 1-2 days in Sydney), and we have a fun, friendly household with my 6-year-old daughter (in school) and 4-year-old son (in kindy 2 days/week). My mum lives with us part-time and loves spending time with the kids, though she can’t be alone with them due to an injury.

    Our home is lively, creative, and supportive – you won’t be alone with the kids all day, every day.

    About the Kids:

    Energetic, happy, funny, and affectionate
    Love crafts, art, and helping in the kitchen
    Enjoy outdoor adventures – beach, playgrounds, gardens, etc.
    Neurodivergent & highly creative – they adore their au pairs!
    Normal sibling dynamics (yes, they fight and play rough sometimes!) – we need someone patient who won’t be easily rattled.

    A Great Fit for You If:

    ✔ You love being outdoors and are happy to take the kids on fun adventures
    ✔ You’re calm, patient, and nurturing
    ✔vegetarian / love whole foods – we cook healthy meals and cater for meat eaters or vego!

    We’d love to welcome you into our family! You’re always welcome to join meals with us, and if you’d like, you can also be part of our family activities.
