About Us
The Whiz Kidz group are family owned and operated childcare centres in NSW and VIC. Our owners are two sisters, both with young children, who have a passion for quality childcare and early education. Having sent all their young children to childcare, we understand what it means to be able to send your child to a centre each morning and walk away with the peace of mind that your child is being cared for in a loving and nurturing environment. This is the ideal that drives Whiz Kidz each and every day.

- Certificate III (or above) in Commercial Cookery
- Strong organisation skills, reliability, and a love for running a tidy, efficient kitchen
- A warm, caring approach to cooking — meals made with heart and purpose
- Someone who enjoys being part of a team and contributing to a positive, home-like environment for children
What's in it for you?
- Competitive pay
- Supportive team environment
