Hello - we are a family of 5 located in Ashburton. We have three beautiful children - 9 y/o girl, 8 y/o boy and a 6 y/o boy - and are looking for a nanny to help with before and after school care on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We would also love to have someone who can stay a few hours while the children are at school to help with general household tasks related to the kids (ie - meal prep, laundry, baking of school snacks, etc).
Specific timing would be 7:15 am to 9:15 am and then from 3 pm to 6 pm. The additional hours to cover general tasks is flexible and we're happy to make the timing suit your schedule.
In the mornings (7:15 - 9:15 am) we are specifically looking for someone to assist with getting the kids ready for school and assist in drop off. There may be time for meal prep or after school snack prep. We are less than a 5 min walk to school so no driving required.
The afternoons (3 pm - 6 pm) will include gathering after-school snacks, assisting in school pick-up (3:30 pm), and taking the kids to activities. We will provide the car for transport and most activities are about a 10 min drive from our home. When home from activities we'll need help getting them showered and some dinner prep.
We'd love to hear from you if this is something that is of interest.
We are looking for a proactive, enthusiastic person to help out with our 11yo son before and after school on Tuesday’s, Thursday’s and Friday’s. (Total 15 hours per week). His older sister (Grade 8) is home for part of the time, but is more independent and requires less supervision.
The ideal person will be patient, have a sense of humour, and can show initiative as needed. Preferably, you would also have experience with neurodiverse children, and can establish a relationship and routines that work for you and our son.
Responsibilities:
- School drop off (9am) and pick up (2 pm)
- Supervise and engage in games and activities with our son – either at home or in the community
- Prepare basic snacks
We're looking for our next Mary Poppins to join our family and care for our cutie pies while I'm working mostly from home. We're open to full or part time nannies so if you're available for part or all of the week send us a message!
Here's our situation:
- McKinnon/Bentleigh/Ormond area (3204)
- We’re looking for a permanent nanny who’ll click with our whole family. Hours would mostly be within 9-5, Mon-Fri
- 3 littlies: 4yo girl, 3yo girl and 1yo boy - we're biased but we think they're hilarious and cute little monsters
- No weekends or after hours work required
Here are the details (i.e. I’m slightly OCD) so if you’re half a chance so far, please read on.
Us:
We're a family with 3 kids - a 4 1/2yo girl who's at kinder 2 days a week (Mon & Wed), a 3yo girl, and 1 1/2yo boy.
- The girls are quite into their arts and crafts, currently obsessed with playing mums & dads, and love dress ups, and our little man is a super chilled toddler who fits into what we’re up to and is starting to have his own adorable personality, loves magnetic tiles, his footy, throwing a ball and loves dancing.
- The kids all love all the crafts, painting, play dough, sensory activities, bike rides, pram walks, picnics, playground time… so much playground time…, collecting flowers, leaves, sticks (that all stay outside), boardgames, puzzles, and heaps of other activities we have ready to go at home.
- We also have two dogs - small and medium fluff balls with big personalities who love pats.
- Dad works full time usually at the office, I work mostly from home, very occasionally go to the office meaning I'll very much be present while you’re here, and therefore am available for quick help, questions, etc. but I do need to actually work.
Our Mary Poppins:
- Has the standard checks: WWCC, Police Check, First Aid, reliable transport to our home, a licence and comfortable driving a big car to take kids to activities (swimming/ballet/kinder).
- Is comfortable with dogs: as mentioned we have 2 dogs who are very much a part of and involved with the family and will be all over you (they’re annoyingly friendly but zero danger).
- Is responsible, punctual and professional, experienced, easy going, and clean (there's that OCD) who can be present with them and can get the kids comfortable with you quickly. Can also be generally helpful to me and hands on with stuff like unpacking shopping, folding/putting away laundry etc.
- Is competent in the kitchen and able to help with light cleaning mostly after the kids (usually organising their space or making sure the place is back to normal). You'll need to prep lunches and a couple of small snacks and work around a nap for either one or 2 of them during the day, which is usually pretty consistent.
- Is really great at kids baths. Especially getting them out of it, moisturised and hair dried and done up!
- Can entertain the kids (no TV plonking); walks, going out to the park, playground, babycino cafe trips, ride/scooter, local community events, inside games, loves reading, playing, painting, crafting, making forts etc. etc.
- Can educate them - the older ones especially are at the stage where they're learning to read/write/count/learn days etc, we'd very much like to see them continue to progress with this.
- Be ok with them being sick. Given they don't go to childcare, they don't get as sick as many kids who do, but still be prepared for the occasional snotty nose or three.
- Generally be awesome with them/don’t turn out to be a psycho kidnapper.
Rate is negotiable based on experience, and to just to be upfront, we'd likely preference somebody a little more experienced at this stage. We've been through a few nannies and can now definitely tell when someone clicks with our family.
I’ve deliberately been pretty detailed so that if our unicorn nanny is reading and nodding along to all points so far, it’s probably a good sign. So if you’re interested please comment with an age/experience/expected rate, and we’ll message suitable candidates for more detail.
Thanks for playing along, looking forward to hearing from our future Mary Poppins.
My name is Tracy and I have two boys aged 1 and 3. I am returning to work shortly and am looking for help caring for my youngest son between 8 and 4 pm from Monday an d Tuesday .

Hi All,
I'm a parent of a young boy, who is 8 years old.
I work casual hours, weeknights and weekends, any time during the day (but never overnights).
I'm seeking a Nanny / Mothers help that is qualified in Early Education or studying towards.
Payment is via an agency so I get the government subsidy. This is not a cash in hand role.
A Nanny that is engaging and loves working with kids.
My boy is super easy to look after but is a little fussy when it comes to eating, so someone that is confident in the kitchen that knows a little more than the basics would be ideal. I provide all meals most of the time but your input on occasion would be welcomed.
My work is adhoc, you will be one of a few nannies, so no pressure to always be available.
Please get in touch if you wish to chat further :)
We’re looking for a wonderful babysitter to join our family!
We have a 3.5-year-old girl, a 19-month-old boy, and we’re expecting a baby girl in October 2025. We're after someone reliable and experienced with babies and toddlers, as the role will mostly involve caring for our baby and 19-month-old (our eldest attends kinder).
You’ll need to be available Mondays and Fridays in 2025, and then Mondays, Wednesdays (half day), and Fridays in 2026. Hours are 7am to 3pm, with Wednesdays in 2026 likely being a half day (e.g. 7am–1pm) just with our baby (our toddler will be with grandparents).
In early 2026, care will focus on our baby—including bringing her to my nearby workplace for feeds when needed.
We’re based in a 4-bedroom home with a big backyard, close to parks, walking tracks, shops, and the local library. You’re welcome to drive our car (with car seats), and we’ll treat you like part of our family.
Please only apply if you are not currently a uni student, as we need someone who can commit to consistent days and early starts.
Bonus: We have lots of local friends also looking for a nanny, so if you're after more hours, we’re happy to connect you!
To apply, please email your resume and cover letter to zara@zandaspeech.com.au – we look forward to hearing from you!
We are a family of 4...my Husband and I have two gorgeous kids; a 3 year old girl and a nearly 2 year old boy.
We have had a long term nanny with us who has had to leave suddenly for unfortunate reasons to focus on her own family so we're looking for another wonderful nanny to join our family.
We both work full time. Our daughter is at kindergarten and our Son is at home.
We are looking for aN experienced, fun loving nanny who loves kids and gets joy from seeing them laugh, learn and grow. Ideally someone trained in early childhood and experienced in supporting the development of young ones.
The role includes preparing breakfast for kids, getting them ready for the day, dropping off and picking up our daughter from kindergarten (700m down the road) and taking care of our Son (feeding, playing, putting to sleep for nap, taking out for outings to library, park, playgroups and classes). Other duties include preparing kids meals, packing Kindergarten lunchbox, laundry, unstacking and stacking dishwasher/keeping kitchen clean and tidy, keeping lounge room and kids rooms tidy (picking up toys etc). We have a cleaner 1 x per week so no deep cleaning is required but a light vacuum of living areas once a week or so between cleans is appreciated.
If it is preferred, we have a later start on Mondays and earlier finish on Fridays. We can also aim to have you finish earlier when we can get home earlier (between 5-6pm) however flexibility is preferred.
We have a car for you to use with the kids.
We value our nanny/'s so much. We don't have any family support in Melbourne so you're really a big part of our lives and the reason we can work and enjoy a beautiful family at the same time.

Looking for a local nanny/ babysitter to collect 7 and 9 year old from school and babysit them for a few hours until we come home from work on Thursday afternoons. Can use our car or kids are happy walking home from school. Prepare after school snacks and help with reading/ homework.
My name is Natalia and I have an 8 year old son. He has autism but is high functioning. He is a beautiful sweet natured little boy and is in grade 2. He loves trains, Harry Potter and building lego. My son finds attending Oosh (before and after school care at his school) overwhelming. Therefore I have received funding for someone to come Mon, Wed and Thurs 730 to 9 am and 330 to 530 pm. Must drive and have own car as it would involve taking him to and from school. I would pay petrol costs. Given he is eligible for funding the person must has an early child care qualification inc cert 3 in early childcare or currently studying it. If you do not hold this or working towards it I can’t hire you as funding criteria is strict about that. It should be relatively easy. He would be dressed and had breakfast before you arrive. It would involved playing with him, in the morning for a bit, then take him to school where he will unpack his own bag and hand over to a teacher when the bell goes at 855. In the afternoon it would be giving him a snack (he tends to eat his leftover lunch) and he does a bit of reading. I work in a school and am often home by 430 you can have an early mark and I would still pay you until 530. Please message me if interested

Our daughter is 7 years old and a bit of a legend. She loves dinosaurs, imaginary games, art and soccer. She’s funny, energetic, a gorgeous person… and yes, we may be her biggest fan.
We are looking for a babysitter/nanny to help with between two and four days pick up after school. We’d also love some help when the school holidays roll around. Our daughter goes to school in Kew, and we have a lovely home in Surrey Hills. Some days she has activities like tennis at the local tennis club, and other days we’re happy for you to come home together and explore (along with the odd bit of homework).
We want to partner with someone who shares our daughter's passions and energy. We leave the tv off and world around us turned up. We welcome exposure to things like science experiments, museums and galleries, particularly on the holidays.
You’ll need a car to pick her up too.
We would like to find someone who can help for at least a few years so we can form a partnership together.
