Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Inner Melbourne, VIC

Hello!
We are a happy and friendly family of 5 who live in Albert Park, right near the Village, beach, parks and all that our wonderful suburb has to offer.

We have three little boys, Charlie 4, Henry 2 and Billy who is 4months (born November 2024). So we are a very busy household looking for an extra pair of hands to help our day to day run smoothly.

Looking for someone who is able to help take the older boys to their activities (Tuesday for a half day morning and Friday a full day) , or alternatively stay home with the baby so I am able to spend some time with them at their activities. Henry and Charlie are both in daycare and kinder a few days a week and we are also looking for someone to help out with some pickups (around 4:30pm -7:30pm) 2-3 evenings a week (flexible with days and finish time!)

Also looking for someone who is able to look after Billy on occasion so I can duck out and get some things done during the week when the others are in care. Further to this - availability for the odd date night and weekend work is an added bonus too!

We are very friendly and relaxed family and love welcoming nanny’s and babysitters into our homes and always do our best to make everyone feel part of the family and welcome in our home.

If you are available for any or all of these requests please reach out so we can chat further!

I look forward to hearing from you,
Lucy

We are an international family with a 2-year-old daughter (born January 2023), currently relocating to Melbourne. We are looking for a caring, reliable, and energetic babysitter with 3+ years of experience to join us for 45 hours / 5 days per week. We plan to stay two months in Melbourne, then one month in Sydney, followed by one month in New Zealand. Ideally, if the babysitter could be comfortable with travel, we will cover food costs, flights and accommodation.

We are hoping for someone who would be available to start on 10th, 11th or 12th April — next week — as we’ll be settling into our new home and would love to have support from the very beginning.

Key responsibilities and T&Cs include:
- Preparing meals, feeding, nap time, tidying up
- Active and creative play (indoors and outdoors), reading, singing, drawing
- Following clear instructions and house rules (no outings unless approved)
- No personal phone use during work hours (except communication with parents)
- Providing daily updates on meals, naps, play, and mood
- Occasionally available for overnight care
- Warm, gentle approach — no discipline or screen time

If this position sounds like something you’d be interested in, we’d love to hear from you. When replying, it would be really helpful if you could kindly include the following:
1) A bit about your qualifications — including first aid training, any childcare certifications, and your experience working with children
2) A copy of your CV, along with any references or reviews from families you’ve worked with previously
3) Whether you’d be open to travelling with us to Sydney and later New Zealand (this is optional)
4) Whether you'd be happy with a 45-hour week (across five days), with some flexibility around start/finish times — for example, starting later and finishing later on some days if we have an evening out
5) And finally, your salary expectations for a full-time role — either weekly or monthly, whichever you prefer

We’re really looking forward to finding the right person to support our daughter during this exciting time!

We are looking for a nanny to care for our two children aged 10 months and 3.5 years 3 days a week (one day with just the baby) in Albert Park.

Someone looking for longer term work as our family grows up is ideal. A license is preferable but not essential. Would suit someone who likes getting outdoors with the kids.

We're looking for someone to look after our 8 year old son and 10 year old daughter after school as well as driving them to their gymnastics and soccer training.

We are looking for a babysitter to join our family for afternoons, and school holidays. We would need 2 afternoons a week as well as 2-3 days a week over school holidays.

We have 3 high energy children 9(b), 5(g), and 3(b).

Driving is a must but our car can be used for school pickup (CCGS) and transport to after school activities in and around South Yarra/Albert Park.

We want someone who is proactive, fun, friendly and high energy!

Working with Children’s and references a must.

Hi Babysitters!

I'm looking for casual care and the occasional overnight babysitting stay with our nearly 5-year-old daughter and nearly 7-year-old Son.

At the moment, we require 4 overnight stays between the 6th and 24th June (flexible which nights)

We are based in Toorak near Loreto Mandeville Hall.

Drivers license and car (ideally)

If you love learning, reading, drawing, art, crafts and creative play then my kids will adore you!

We have a trampoline, half basketball court, swings, and a pool to help keep them entertained.
I love them playing outside as much as possible.

Must be willing to tidy up any play/food/mess associated with the kids.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

We are looking for a nanny to care for our two girls, ages 12mo and 40mo during the day (~8am-6pm) for 3-4 days a week (flexible, as is the start date).
Our eldest is starting at sessional kindergarten (walking distance), so those days would be mornings with just the 12mo and afternoons with both girls, then other days with both girls. Some days the eldest may have swimming or gymnastics classes, otherwise general activities and outings.

We are looking for a nanny who has a WWC, is First Aid and CPR trained, COVID and Flu vaccinated and minimum 2 parent references. Additionally, a valid driver licence and clean driving record. It would be a bonus if you speak French and would speak that with our girls from time to time.

Ideally we would also love our nanny to help with some light housework, largely relating to the girls: mealtime prep/packdown etc., laundry, tidying living/bedrooms etc.

Hi there,
Hope you are well. I am looking for a part time nanny/sitter who is great with kids and a small dog :)

The babysitter will be working side-by-side with me for the morning and evening routine and will not be on their own as I have a 1 year old and an infant.

I live in South Yarra so we have access to all public transport within minutes, restaurants, CBD, etc. You will also have access to pool, hot tub/jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, gym facilities should you wish to do so before or after work.
I have a 1 year old and if you do not have experience that is okay as I train people how to work with kids and babies as a living.
Duties will include playing with baby, tidying up toys, diaper changes, meal prep, tidying up, cleaning bottles, walking dog. I typically do the feed, bath and bed with the baby but if I am unable to then I will get your help.
I am a single mom so I just need an extra hand to help me. As we will be working together and with the baby, you will be considered and welcomed as part of the family.
I am looking for someone long term as the baby does get attached, he is very affectionate!

This can be a 2 part position as I potentially need help on all the days so tasks can be divided.



Please email CV to my email is artikasingh.aba@gmail.com

ONLY THOSE WHO EMALED CV/RESUME WILL BE CONSIDERED.

Please note: it is $25 to start with pay increase after 3 months. Also can provide great reference for careers to those individuals who stay on long-term, as I have my own private practice.

Also note, you must be willing to get a whooping cough vaccine as there is an infant in the household.

Thank you,
Artika

I am looking for someone warm and trustworthy to assist in caring for my children from 6- 8 or 9pm on Monday and Wednesday nights and for a few hours on Sundays, ideally 3-7pm.

The evening role will be taking over from my nanny and assisting with wind down play and bedtime. I will be home around 730 and then in the home office for late work meetings.

On Sundays I am looking for someone to help play with and care for the children whilst I run some errands and prepare for the following week. This will include preparing snacks/dinner for the children and associated clean up.

I am looking for someone to build an ongoing relationship with who can also help out ad hoc as needed during evenings or weekends when I have an event on etc.

Spanish speaking is a definite plus. The role pays at $35/hour but unfortunately I cannot offer cash payments.
