Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Alphington VIC

Hello!

We are looking for an experienced babysitter/nanny to spend each Wednesday with our two children - Alfie (5yrs old) and Hazel (2yrs old) from approx 8am - 6pm. We are after someone that genuinely enjoys spending time with kids and is also comfortable preparing food for them etc.

We're a busy professional family in Kew East with two children - a preppie (5) boy and a nearly 3 year old girl. We are looking for an experienced nanny who genuinely enjoys early childhood and can bring calm, happy energy to the kids day. You'll be trusted to run the time together as your own. You will primarily take care of our little girl and then help with the preppie school drop off or pick up depending on the shift. On top we need help keeping the house running - putting away laundry, lunchboxes and packing up at end of the day.

In terms of hours we have some flexibility - after school Wednesdays from 2.30-5.30pm, Thursdays 8- 11 and / or Fridays 9-1pm.

We are very experienced with Nannie’s and will truly value as a part of the village.

Hi

We are looking for afterschool care for our 7 year old boy commencing immediately. Initially we are looking for Monday and Wednesday from 3:30pm to 7pm.

Our family is quite dynamic as two full time executives working and travelling. We have three boys aged 20, 17 and 7. The ‘big boys’ are with us every other week and are fairly self-sufficient. We also have a medium size fluffy dog called Lando who is friendly and gentle and will love pats from you!

We live in Northcote and a 500m walking distance to the primary school for pick up.

We are seeking help two afternoons a week for our youngest from 3:30pm to 7pm. Monday and Wednesday. The role includes collection from school, general playtime, reading, some clothes washing and preparing easy family meals.

We have a nanny at the moment but she is has limited availability and we are seeking additional support. We are hopeful that if this arrangement is successful you will be part of our list of casual carers for weekend events or date nights.

Our ideal nanny is someone responsible with good communication skills, friendly punctual, and proactive.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Lindsey & Matt

We are a small family of 3 and are looking for a nanny for our 9 year old son. Our son is a happy energetic loving child who is very good at math's, reading, music and spelling. We would like our nanny to be able to drive safely, pick him up from school, actively engage with his homework, projects, learning (writing and reading) and assist with his care in the evening - dinner and bedtime routine. Having a car and driving safely is very important. Housework will be a part of the job description. Light cooking and cleaning will be involved. We are both busy professionals and need someone who is trustworthy, structured/ organised, punctual and very reliable. Active engagement with his studies is important to us. Most importantly, a kind, patient and loving personality is essential for this job, given our son has autism and ADHD (diagnosed).

Hi, our daughter is 2.5 years old and we now require an experienced, energetic, caring and extroverted nanny (who is at least 21 years old) every week on Thursday from 12 - 4.30 with the chance of additional hours as familiarity increases. 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 - $40 per hour. Appreciate your time, thank you.

We are a family of four: two working parents and two young boys (20 months and 3 years old). We are looking for some ad hoc babysitting support to manage the house and child related needs, given busy schedules. There is flexibility as to days of the week and time of day/night.

General duties include:
- playing with kids
- outings to local park etc
- preparing simple kid meals
- general tidy of toys

Hello!
We are a family of 4 - we have two children, one 3 year old girl and one 4 month old boy - we would love someone to help us on a Friday for the full day. I will be around, but also in and out of the house (will take the 4 month old with me mostly!) My daughter loves craft, cooking, adventures to the library, park, zoo, cafe, museum etc! We have a dance class on Friday morning so would need someone to either take our 3 year old or assist me in taking her.
Hope to hear from you! We are in Princes Hill so very close.

We’re a warm, caring family looking for a nanny to join our weekly routine. We have two young children — an energetic and curious 2-year-old and a newborn.

The role will mainly focus on caring for our toddler, who loves trips to the playground, attending classes (e.g. Gymbaroo), and hands-on activities such as crafts and cooking. Our toddler attends weekly physio and OT sessions for mild cerebral palsy, so we’re looking for someone patient, supportive, and encouraging as he builds his skills and confidence.

Mum will usually be home caring for the newborn, and occasionally you may help with the baby so Mum can take the toddler to appointments.

Hours:
Part-time, Monday to Thursday, 7:30am–2:30pm

What we’re looking for:
A warm, reliable, and proactive nanny who enjoys spending time with toddlers and keeping them engaged through fun, stimulating activities. Someone who is happy getting out of the house as well as being creative with play at home (e.g. arts & craft, cooking together etc.). Experience with young children is important; experience with newborns or additional needs is a bonus but not essential.

Duties include:
- Caring for and engaging our toddler
- Preparing and serving breakfast, lunch, and snacks
- Planning fun, age-appropriate activities (crafts, cooking, play-based learning)
- Taking our toddler to parks, playgrounds, and classes
- Supporting development through play
- Helping with the newborn when needed

Light household tasks:
- Laundry (washing and folding)
- Dishes and general kitchen tidy-up
- Cleaning up after meals, meal prepping
- Tidying play areas

We’re looking for someone who takes initiative, keeps our toddler active and engaged, and helps our home run smoothly during the day.

We’re a family with three boys aged 13, 10 and 8, and we’re looking for someone warm, reliable and capable who would ideally like to stay with us long term.

We’re looking for help for around 2–3 hours Monday–Thursday afternoons, as well as occasional evening babysitting for date nights. The afternoons will vary depending on the boys’ activities and may include school/activity drop-offs, helping with homework, laundry and ironing, simple meal prep and general light household help.

We’d love someone who is mature, kind, organised and happy to take some initiative.

$32–$35/hour depending on experience.

Please send us a short, personal introduction about yourself, your experience, availability, whether you drive, and why you think the role might suit you. No need for a formal or polished cover letter — we’d much rather get a feel for who you are.

We are a family of 4 living in Hawthorn East. My husband and I have a 8 yr old son and a 1 yr old son. We are searching for a caring person to help us with our morning school routine with our son and toddler. We would like help with school drop off in the morning for our 8 yr old son from Mon-Thurs.

- Helping the kids with homework and their after-school routine

Deep cleaning is handled by our regular cleaner and meal prep is taken care of by family, so this role is focused on tidying, light cleaning, laundry, the children and homework.

Hours: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 12pm–6pm (6 hours per day, ~18 hours per week). Housework in the earlier part of the day, then school pick-up and the kids in the afternoon.
