Hi, our daughter is 2.5 years old and we now require an energetic, caring and extroverted nanny on Wed/Thurs/Fri hours during the week. Its very important to be talkative and playful as she feels more comfortable with such personalities. We prefer a good history of nannying alongside having first aid certificate, police check, working with children check and references. We are based in Kew and will, of course, take the time to explain and be around you to help build an easy going routine and comfort between our daughter and you.
Rate - $30 per hour. Appreciate your time, thank you.

Hello I have a very sweet young daughter. I require assistance so I can go to work.
The position requires consistency of care so I would require you to be available to assist at least 3-5 times per week. You must live in South Yarra.
I often start work at 7am M-F & require someone to come to our home at 5.45am & walk to kinder with my daughter by 8.45am 3 hours each morning.
The afternoon /evening shift is usually picking her up from kinder at 5.30pm Mon & Tuesday & at 3pm Wednesday & 4pm Thursday & Friday. My work is casual so a little flexibility is also required with the job.
Thank you I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi
i am looking AU Pair Helps to In cleaning, Dusting , Cooking some Time , Laudry and Play Role as baby sitter .

Right now I am Hiring for Weekend Depends upon it will be Parmanent.

Hi, babysitters! I am looking for someone to work with our family on a weekly, part-time basis from Monday through Thursday afternoons/evenings at our home in South Yarra, near Hawksburn village. One-off babysitting help on the weekend would also be great as well, if you're open to it, if we have something on occasionally in the evenings.

My husband and I both work during the week, usually with at least one of us working from home, and we're seeking some assistance with entertaining the kids when they get home from school with activities like drawing, reading, doing puzzles, cooking/preparing dinner, kicking a ball in the backyard, playing at one of the nearby playgrounds... really anything except sitting them in front of the TV!

The kids usually eat dinner around 6pm, so when they sit down to eat we'd appreciate your help getting their bath ready and then cleaning up dinner once they're done (we will give them their bath and put them to bed). Very rarely would you be alone with the children, so we're happy to help as needed while we finish up work.

We have three children: a 6 year old boy, 4 year old girl and 2 year old boy. All three are at school/kinder during the day and finish up at different times in the afternoon, so during the afternoons you'd spend with us it would range from looking after 0 kids (when we're picking them up, and would appreciate your help with housework like tidying their bedrooms, folding laundry, preparing dinner, etc), to 1 kid, 2 kids or 3 kids max (for about an hour or so when they're all back from school).

The total weekly hours that we need are around 13, across the following schedule:

Monday: 4pm-7pm
Tuesday: 4pm-7pm
Wednesday: 3pm-7pm
Thursday: 4pm-7pm

It would be great if this could be completed by one babysitter, but we are also open to splitting it across two people on different days if that aligns better with the schedules for the right person.

Ideally, the right person for our family will be someone who is kind, warm and caring. Our kids are pretty easy going but of course, try to push the limits! We'd appreciate someone who is creative and can engage them in creative pursuits - they love everything with paint, play-doh, and anything tactile!

Any other questions - don't hesitate to reach out! Excited to welcome you to our family :)

In addition, 6 hours during the day on Saturday or Sunday (e.g., 12-6pm).
You should have experience caring for infants; be friendly, warm, and nurturing; understand infants' needs; have good command of English; and perform light house duties and cooking basic food for the kids.
Please contact me to discuss.
Thanks,
Ilan

Full Licence and a safe car is required

We are seeking a trustworthy and experienced housekeeper and cook for a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children, 2 dogs). Approximate hours 5 hours x 3 days a week (15 hours total, flexible).

You will be responsible for shopping, planning for and preparing 4 family meals, laundry (excluding ironing), changing bed linen, tidying, errands as necessary and general home management.

I am currently looking for someone to help me with household duties including shopping, errands, general housekeeping to help me keep 3 teenage kids on track. I have my kids every second week and I am looking for someone to do around 3 hours (during school times) per day on the week I have the kids, and on the alternate week around two days per week of 3 hour shifts.
I don't need any support through school holidays or weekends and if there are certain days in the week that you can’t be available I can work around that.

Looking for a lovely human to care for my 4.5month old daughter on Mondays 3-9:30pm, Tuesdays 2:45pm-10:30pm and Saturdays 10:15-6:30pm during the school term. Possible Wednesday afternoon for two hours but still working that out. Some Sunday work if you're willing and some school holiday hours possible too, tho not essential to employment. Ideally would love one person for all days but open to job sharing if that's not possible. Looking to use the 'in home care' program so I can use my child care subsidy so candidate needs Early Childhood Education Qualifications (min cert 3) or be enrolled studying towards it. This is a non negotiable so if you do not have that unfortunately I cannot hire you. Candidate must have WWCC, police check and first aid training. Experience with babies a plus. Pay variable pending on experience and qualifications.

My beautiful 4.5month old girl is very chilled and happy. She loves having a chat, singing songs/music, walks in nature, reading books and being with people. She is an excellent night sleeper so evenings would be fairly relaxed for you. I am an ex performer turned dance teacher. I love to travel, art, theatre, spend time at the beach and in nature. I'm easy going and whilst my hours are fairly fixed, I have a great village that I can ask for help when needed so I am happy to work with you as best I can. In dream land we would love a nanny for the long term.

Looking to start ASAP! Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions.
