Ongoing Before & After School Carer
Babysitters on Demand is recruiting an experienced and dependable carer for an ongoing family support role in Perth's northern suburbs, supporting three children with weekday routines, school and daycare transport, and afternoon care around a FIFO roster.
About the role
The role supports three children aged 8, 4 and 2 with weekday morning routines, school and daycare transport and selected afternoon care around a changing FIFO roster.
The family is seeking consistency, so this opportunity is best suited to someone who can make a genuine ongoing commitment. One primary carer is preferred, although a small regular team may be used to provide reliable coverage.

- When the FIFO parent is away, morning and afternoon care is generally required Monday to Friday
- During R&R periods, afternoon care is generally required on Wednesday and Friday only

- Full driver's licence
- Reliable, roadworthy and appropriately insured vehicle suitable for transporting children
- Strong references and relevant childcare, babysitting or nanny experience
- Availability for an ongoing weekday roster, including early mornings and selected afternoons
Additional information
The family will provide the appropriate child restraints and booster seats for transport.
Babysitters on Demand completes screening, reference checks and a suitability assessment before any candidate is introduced to the family. The priority is finding a strong long-term match rather than simply filling the first available shift.
