We are looking for a nanny 3pm-7pm, a few days a week.
Things we need help with? pick up, serve dinner, wash up after dinner and tidy kitchen, play areas, rooms, homework, folding / putting away washing and bed time routine (pjays, teeth, books).
We have three sweet girls 3, 6 and 7. I’ll be there after 5.30 and hope to do homework with them too from time to time.
We are looking for a nanny to pick up our youngest child from Scotch College (aged 9). We live a few minutes' walk away from school. And to supervise him and his older brother (13 years) while they do their homework and music practice.
It's a bit complicated in that we need this daily (roughly) when I am in the UK 3-4 times a year (first trip is Nov 15th until early Dec). Thereafter we need help only on Monday and Tuesdays when I am at work. I have not yet started work because of paperwork etc. So I cannot give an exact date - but maybe something to discuss?
There will also be lots of evening opportunities.
The boys don't need looking after per se, but the youngest needs supervision with road crossing and both need encouragement not to go on screen!
We also have a (very friendly) dog - there may be some dog walking opportunities too, if interested
In summary 6 hours a week normally (Monday and Tuesday) and 15-20 hours a week during busy periods (for around 4 weeks, around 3 times a year). There will also be evening babysitting opportunities.
My family relocated to Melbourne from San Francisco a few months ago. We live in Kew with our 3 children aged 6, 4 and nearly 2; our daughter goes to Camberwell Primary while the other two do a mix of kinder (Hawthorn East) + childcare (Kew).
I am looking for someone who could help weekday afternoons from around 2-6pm - helping with school pick-ups and drop-offs to after-school activities for the oldest 2. To start, we'd need help 2 days a week - Tue / Wed. Starting in Jan 2025, we'd look to increase to 4 days a week - Mon-Wed + Fri.
During school holidays or weeks when one parent is traveling for work, we may also ask for more hours - as possible.
Ideally, we would love to find someone who is:
* Mature and experienced - bringing confidence, comfort and good judgment around small kids - able to bring fun and playfulness yet maintain firm boundaries
* Warm and kind - creating strong positive attachments with our kids
* Engaged and development oriented - thoughtful about exposing the kids to activities and experiences that will help them learn and grow - i.e., on the floor talking and playing vs looking at phones + screens
*Trustworthy, responsible and prompt - shows up when and where promised - always with honesty and integrity
*Respectful - listens to and supports our intentions as parents - takes care to leave the space better than you found it
* Has a drivers license, car and strong driving record - and willing and able to drive 2 kids
Bonus points would be someone who:
* Has flexibility for additional hours as needed (esp. during school holidays)
* Speaks French
Will pay a competitive rate for the right fit.
Please message me with CV and references if interested.

Hi, we are a loving family looking for a nanny for our 9month old baby. We also have a 6yo but this job is predominantly for the baby and caring for all his basic needs, activities, tidying etc. Candidates with at least five years of experience with children of this age group are preferred. Rates are negotiable depending on level of experience and flexibility. Assistance with light housekeeping would also be great. We are looking for a trusted someone to be part of our family and lifelong friends with our little one!
Hello potential babysitter!
We are looking for some after school assistance with our 3 children. They are all at school which is walking distance from our house (~7 minutes). Heidi and Abbie are 9yo ID twins in grade 3 (one is growing out a Taylor Swift inspired fringe so you will be able to tell who is who!) and Declan is 6yo (but with the confidence of a rock star) and started prep this year (he tells people there is just one of him...!).
We would ideally love someone to assist us x2 nights per week after school from 3 - 6/6:30pm plus casual babysitting if available. We can be flexible with which 2 days after school, we just need to be able to plan going into the office around the days we have babysitter assistance.
The role would require collecting the kiddos from school, overseeing them unpack bag / lunch box, organising afternoon tea (and cleaning up after feeding time at the zoo?!), helping with getting kids to activities (will depend on day), minor dinner prep if time permits, helping with homework, helping get organised for the following day (packing lunches, uniforms out etc.) and just general regular reminding / guiding the children for what they need to be doing / planning for next.
About you: we need someone reliable who is firm but fun and who isn't phased with the hustle and bustle of after school snacking / organising / getting to activities on time. You will need a drivers licence to be able to take kiddos to after school activities (Monday = Swimming, Tuesday = Kumon then gymnastics (in the evening), Wednesday = tutoring for girls / basketball for Declan, Thursday = Basketball) and be able to multi-task (e.g. ability to explain why dinosaurs went extinct whilst making peanut butter toast and making sure swimming caps are on!!)
We hosted au pairs when our children were younger so our kids are accustomed to welcoming carers and they really enjoy meeting new people (they LOVE a good chat!). We have had a nanny for most of the year but unfortunately one is recovering from a health condition and the other no longer has after school availability so we are now looking for a new nanny to join our family.
The kids are very loving / affectionate (although on occasion can also be moody?!) but do need assistance with reminding to help them stay on track with tasks / getting ready for activities / cross checking they have packed what they need.
If you are available x2 days after school for 3 - 3.5 hours each day (so 6 - 7 hours per week) and have experience with looking after school aged children we would love to chat to you further to find out if we are a good fit. Please get in touch! We'd love someone to start ASAP when school goes back next week.
In terms of pay, we were anticipating $30 per hour.
A bit about us...we are a blended family of 8. The older 3 children do not require care. We have recently moved from Essendon to kew. The children will spend the last term at their primary school (Pascoe Vale South and daycare in Essendon) before moving to Deepdene Primary (around the corner) next year. For the last term of school I require help with drop-off and pick up a few times each week. Preparing simple meals in the evening and playing with the kids. The kids ages are 8 (grade 2) 6 (grade 6) and 3 (daycare)
If the candidate is the right fit for our family we would intermittently require overnight stays whilst we travel for work.
Happy to provide more information.
