We’re a fun family with two beautiful boys aged 6 and 8. Our kiddos are neurodivergent, they attend the local Catholic school (200m from our home), AND they're full of life, curiosity, and a lot of energy! Husband and I are Canadian expats and full time professionals who mostly work in the city or offsite; work committments and the absence of informal support in Melbourne have faciliated our need to search for the right person to work with our family. We're flexible and easy going, and love sharing family trips and excursions with our boys.
We're looking for the right person to help the children thrive, engage them, and give them a chance to chill out after school, with plenty of giggles and smiles along the way. Experience working with autistic and/or children with ADHD is ideal; if you are warm and patient, our boys love making connections with adults - and the adults often find a relationship with our children rewarding!
Duties:
School pick-up; car not required
Light housework (mostly just tidying up, maybe folding clothes in a quiet moment)
Preparing dinner (we love simple, tasty meals, often using meal kits - but would be happy to shop for your recipes)
Adhoc depending-on-the-vibe activities might include homework, supervising the use of educational apps, practicing piano, occasional outing to the library, the opp shop, park, etc.
About us:
I am a single mum who works full time. I'm pretty laid back and flexible, my focus is on finding someone who can connect with my son and have fun with him while I am working.
My son is 6 years old and full of beans. He loves dinosaurs, arts and crafts, Pokemon, Avatar, science experiments, drawing and and making up imaginary games to play.
About you:
You're fun, energetic and keen to get involved in games and activities with kids. You're a good communicator, honest and not too serious.
Ideally you have a car, a working with children's check and first aid certificate (or willing to get a WWCC and First Aid Cert in the first month).
About the job:
Minimum 2 afternoons per week, 3.15pm - 5.30pm which includes pick up from school, dinner and bedtime routine.
Some weeks may be 3 days or may be later than 5.30pm. I will always provide notice the week before of days/hours required and will work with you to be flexible to your needs as well, whether that be studying, holidays or other jobs you might have.
If for whatever reason I need to cancel the day of, I'll still pay you for 2 hours to cover the late cancellation.
It would be great if you can also help out occasionally on school holidays or weekends, but it's not a deal breaker.
My name is Danielle and I am happily married to husband Brent. We have two sons. One 3 year old Noah and a 1 year old. I will be retuning to work in the coming month or so and would like a baby sitter every second Monday.
Hello, I am just looking for someone to pick up my 11yr old son after school every second Thursday and Friday and drop him home - it is from 3:00pm in airport west where his school is - to our home in Essendon. Friday would be from 3:00pm to 6:30pm as there is after school sports.
Hey! We are a family of 4 needing someone to come hang out with our kids for a full day Tuesday.
Miss 4 is active, loves books, moving her body and is a strong little woman.
Mr 2 is fully toilet trained, active, loves fishing and hunting.
They both love pretend play, so you need to be able to actually play, not just supervise.
We are anything but mainstream. If the words: alternative or hippy resonate with you, we will probably be a good match.

Hi, my name is Ana and I'm looking for a nanny to look after and entertain my 3-year-old daughter, Evelyn, and my 16-month-old son, Harrison, 2 days per week for 2 hours at a time so I can do some work from home. May increase to three days if all goes well. At this stage, I'm thinking Monday, Tuesday or Thursday between 2:30-4:30pm. I've set the rate at $25p/h since I'll be home and can handle toileting/nappy changes, but happy to discuss the pay for the right applicant. Experience is highly desirable, but since I'll be at home and available as needed, I'm really looking for someone who can be caring, engaging, playful, patient and proactive with my kids. The role might involve providing some snacks and some light tidy up afterwards, but on the whole, I think it's a pretty "easy" role.

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.

Single mum & toddler named Jasper, we are currently in Thornbury! We have a small dog named Mazda who will want to hang out with you guys.
Im originally from Perth so I don’t have a lot of family here and sometimes just need a little break some nights. My ex partners folks usually help us out but understandably not always available. Would love some help at short notice but will aim to do planned evenings too.
Parenting solo, sometimes I just get a bit exhausted and need a few hours to recharge. Or even to just clean the house. I would love some evenings out with friends too. Keen to trial some a few hours first with someone and find out if it’s a good fit.
Jasper is a happy cheeky little guy, he’s been working on his speech in therapy once a week and we are seeing huge improvements. His favourite toy is his Buzz Lightyear, when mummy needs to get some chores done or it’s a horribly hot day, we te d to pop on some Toy Story!
