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!
Hi my husband and I are busy lawyers residing in Ivanhoe and require a nanny to assist with our 20month old son 1-2 afternoons a week (Monday/ Tuesdays). We will require pick up from day care, preparation of snacks and dinner. Candidate to have license/ car seat and all requisite checks to care for children and experience.
Three kids - 13, 11, and 5, all at school.
We are looking for a wonderful addition to the family to help two busy working parents. We find it difficult to manage all the pick ups with our work schedules, + after school activities. Our current nanny helped us greatly by spending some extra time after the morning rush helping us to reset the house which made the week go really smoothly so we'd love to find someone that might be happy to do some light housework (dishes, tidying kids toys) that will help us reset after the kids go off to school.
Someone with flexibility in schedule would be great as needs may vary a little week to week. One parent travels each week (Thursday and Friday). We can commit to min hours as needed.
Hola, our daughter is 18 months old and we now require Spanish speaking nanny at least every Thursday 10-5pm and Saturday 10 - 5pm. We prefer a good history of nannying alongside having first aid certificate, police check, working with children check. 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.
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!
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 :)

Looking for a caring nanny for our 10 month old baby girl from April (location: Bulleen).
Start date can either be April 14th or April 28th (we are not needing a nanny the week of Easter on Tue 22nd - 27th as we are on leave).
Hours: Tuesday (8am - 7pm) and Thursday (1230pm - 7pm) each week. We also will need a nanny for 2 x Saturdays a month (8am -1pm). We are looking for a nanny who can do these hours each month, ongoingly.

The nanny we are looking for will need to have experience with babies <12m, a WWCC, first aid and references. Also they must be OK with dogs as we have a beautiful, friendly 3yo dog who'd be hanging out with you too.
Look forward to hearing from any potential nannies who feel they would be a good fit for our family.
I am looking for a nanny to help and pick up 3x a week (3-6pm). There would be some light household tasks as well eg. preparing dinner for the children, unpacking the dishwasher, folding washing. We have 2 children (girl who is 10.5 son who is 6 ). We are after someone who can keep to our routine, is very tidy and calm. We would like someone who is local (ie. within 5km of Hawthorn East). Having a licence and confidence driving is critical. Ability to help with homework and experience with neurodivergent children looked upon favourably.
We’re looking for a special person to care for our wonderful 4-year-old daughter, who has a physical disability and epilepsy. She is full of life, loves to play, chat, and engage with everyone.
Our amazing nanny is off to pursue a career in nursing, so we’re searching for someone equally great to take over. Ideally, we’d love a nursing or medical student who is confident, calm, and responsible—someone who can follow an emergency plan if a seizure occurs (though these are infrequent and mostly happen at night). She also requires physical assistance throughout the day.
We’re looking for care on Mondays (during the day) with potential for occasional extra hours on other days/evenings. We are based in Hawthorn East.
If this sounds like you (or someone you know), please reach out—I’d be happy to share more details.

We are between Castlemaine and South yarra - only looking for support in south yarra - my parents have an empty house on fawker park - its a beautiful spot, right on the park which makes baby sitting that much easier.
We are flexible with hours - for the right person we can make whatever work. At the moment, looking for support over Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
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

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:

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)

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!

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.
