Family Assistant

Family Assistant (Nanny • Household Support • Administration)

Kununurra, WA
36–40 hours per week
$31–35 per hour (depending on experience)

We’re looking for a warm, organised and proactive Family Assistant to become an important part of our family’s day-to-day life.

This is a unique and varied role combining childcare, household support and administration. It would suit someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in keeping things running smoothly, and can confidently move between caring for children and working in a professional environment.

No two days are the same—you might spend one morning building cubby houses, baking muffins or exploring the playground with two young children, and the next assisting customers, answering phones or helping with administration.

The Role

Childcare

• Caring for two young children approximately 2–3 days per week.

• Planning fun, engaging activities, outdoor play and creative experiences.

• Preparing simple meals and snacks for the children, with the occasional baking activity together.

• Supporting routines, naps and general day-to-day care.

The children’s wellbeing, play and supervision will always be the priority on nanny days.

Household Support

• General house cleaning and tidying.

• Laundry and linen.

• Bathrooms and routine household tasks.

• Helping keep a busy family home organised and running smoothly.

Administration & Customer Service

Applicants seeking close to full-time hours will also have the opportunity to assist in our family-owned luxury retail business with:

• Customer service

• Answering phones

• Stock management

• Data entry

• General administration

Computer confidence, attention to detail and a professional, friendly manner are essential.

Hours

Approximately 36–40 hours per week, including:

• Childcare during the week

• One household support day

• Administration/customer service shifts

• Every second Saturday (8:30am–1:00pm preferred)

During the Kimberley wet season, administration hours naturally reduce, allowing for a better work-life balance if preferred. Additional cleaning or administration hours may also be available for those wanting extra work.

We’re happy to tailor the role slightly for the right person.

About You

You’ll ideally be:

• Warm, kind and energetic.

• Confident caring for toddlers and young children.

• Organised and proactive.

• Detail-oriented.

• Reliable and trustworthy.

• Friendly and confident interacting with people.

• Able to use initiative and work independently.

• Comfortable moving between a relaxed family home and a premium retail environment.

Essential

• Current Working With Children Check.

• Current First Aid Certificate (or willingness to obtain).

• Current driver’s licence.

• Own vehicle preferred.

• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills

Desirable

• Previous nanny, childcare, family assistant or administration experience.

• Spanish speaking.

Why You’ll Love This Role

This is much more than a nanny position.

You’ll become a valued part of a welcoming family while enjoying a varied, long-term role with flexibility, consistent hours and plenty of variety. If you’re someone who loves children, enjoys keeping a home organised and thrives on helping people, we’d love to hear from you.

Applicants relocating to Kununurra are welcome to apply. For the right person, there may be the opportunity to discuss temporary accommodation to assist with relocation.
