Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Boroondara, VIC

Hi, I’m looking for a warm, bubbly, and patient babysitter with experience in disability. We have a gorgeous neurodivergent boy (autistic/ADHD/Intellectual Disability) who is 7 and developmentally around 1-2 years old. He is nonspeaking, very active, and has a lovely happy temperament. He loves any movement-based activities to keep him entertained and regulated. He is very quick and we need someone who will be hypervigilant around him to keep him safe. The right person will be someone who doesn’t mind being on their feet all the time - as my boy runs around constantly and requires long walks in the pram each day. We are looking for help on Fridays after school (3-7pm) and also Saturdays (2-6pm). The role involves picking him up from school, feeding, supervising and playing with him at home, nappy changes, bath time, and taking him out to the park. He has no sense of danger so does require constant following and supervision. Must have a reliable car.

Please feel free to ask any questions at all!

Hi,

This is Kirti. I am looking for a carer to pickup my son from his kinder at 3pm and then my daughter from her school at 3.30pm and look after them till I come home at 5pm. The kinder and school are within working distance of each other or 1-2 minute drive. Need someone reliable on a weekly ongoing basis.

We are currently looking for a nanny for our nearly 2.5 year old daughter on Tuesdays from 8am - 4.30pm, as well as some ad-hoc hours during school holidays and other busy periods for our 4.5 year old son. We also have a (very!) friendly black Labrador, so comfort around dogs is important.

We're interested in finding an experienced candidate, who lives local to the area, that is responsible, reliable, warm and confident in building relationships with children. We would want someone who can commit long term, for the remainder of the year and potentially going into next year. This role would suit a responsible university student who enjoys working with pre-school children and values routine and responsibility.

We do not expect any major housework to be undertaken, other than tidying up after various playing / meal time and going for a walk with our dog in the afternoons with our daughter in the pram.

My name is Sarah and I live with my partner and 2 boys in Hawthorn East (3yo and 4mo). I am looking for care for my 4 month old, primarily on Wednesday afternoons, but with the potential for more work in future, as I slowly return to work post maternity leave. I would love to organise a meeting if this type of work is of interest. Cheers, Sarah

We are looking for someone warm, calm and proactive to support me with our 2 year old daughter 2–3 days per week for around 6 hour days, as we have recently welcomed a newborn into our family.

We’re hoping to find someone who enjoys imaginative play, nature, rhythm and creating a gentle home atmosphere. We lean a little Steiner/Waldorf in our parenting style and value calm, connection and a slower pace to the day.
