Full-Time Nanny – Hamilton, QLD

About the role

A warm family in Hamilton, Queensland, is looking for a highly experienced, carefully vetted and nurturing nanny to care for its two young daughters (aged 2 and 4 months). The mum will be actively involved in the girls' care, often caring for one child while the nanny cares for the other. The family plans to move to Samford Valley in February 2027 while the Hamilton home is being renovated, so the nanny must be comfortable travelling there.
