Our little boy is a confident, kind, happy 6 year old who loves animals, trains, understanding his world and learning to be independent.
He is curious, asks lots of questions, hearing the answers, learning new things, telling you about them and loves mastering new tasks.
He understands himself well and is very good at advocating for himself, and he knows that we will listen to him and believe him. He loves music and singing to music.
He loves school and his friends at school.

We need this help as we both need to leave for work early however we are pretty engaged parents, with a lot of family support close by as well, and we’ll ensure that you are well supported and have everything you need to do this caregiving role well!

Our brand of parenting is one driven by best practice, data, reliable resources (raising children network, RCH guidelines, advice from GPs and other paediatric resources), principals that support children’s emotional wellbeing and the fundamental respect for a child’s space to grow, explore who they are, play, be silly, funny and cheeky and learn about their world!

We’re looking for someone who:
-has pro-social skills (Empathy, respect, kindness and gratitude) and because of these generally has positive interactions with others (a wordy way of saying you’re just generally a nice person!)
-understands and values being on the same side of children, and building a positive narrative around them.
-has a strong understanding and respect for the importance of body safe rules, child safe rules and safe adult rules.
-understands the importance of finding and giving them small opportunities frequently to succeed at things and celebrating these and them.
-genuinely sees children as equal, worthy and important individuals with autonomy and agency.
-ideally, has experience working with 6 year olds, and thus an approximate understanding of where a 6 year old is at developmentally and patience for what they can and cannot do.

We are a very busy household with both parents working full time. The role will be full time, and we will pay a full time salary + super and leave entitlements.

We would be looking for someone who will be part of our family and:
- Has experience looking after twins or multiple children (6 month +)
- Understands key development milestones and supports children with appropriate activities to achieve them
- Is a well rounded caregiver and loves what they do
- Is reliable (mum travels for work and we will need someone whom the family can depend on as we don't have any family nearby)

Duties:
- Sole focus on the twins
- Feeding, playing, development activities, putting to bed, bathing etc
- Folding babies laundry and doing their washing if its required
- Keeping the house tidy - putting away baby toys, clothing etc at the end of the day when they are finished for the day, emptying dishwasher if used. Cleaner comes fortnightly.

We are looking for a casual babysitter to care for our 2.5 year old daughter once or twice a fortnight, likely on a Friday or Saturday evening or on Saturday/Sunday afternoons.

Our daughter is happy, independent and full of energy. She loves trips to the playground, tea parties with her teddies, drawing, stories and imaginative play.

We’re based in Fitzroy North, close to the high street and Edinburgh gardens, so there’s plenty within easy walking distance.

The role would include engaging her in play, preparing or heating up a simple dinner, managing bath time if needed, and handling bedtime (stories, settling and put-down).

We’re looking for someone experienced with toddlers, calm and attentive, and ideally available on an ongoing basis. If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you.

Self sufficient kids who need someone to care for them and run them around to sports after school three nights a week: Mon/Tues/Wed. Start asap preferred!

We are a family in Preston with a 3yo boy and 9yo girl. My wife and I are looking for help with pickups and dropoffs from childcare and before/after school care, most days of the week. There will be occasional evening care required until bedtime. Drop offs approx 7.30-8.30, pickups 4.30-6.30.

We are looking for a reliable person to get to know and grow with our children.

I am looking for a caring and reliable babysitter for my 8 year old daughter, who has travelled the world, and is very sophisticated for her age. She is also at times very strong headed. So, a babysitter in early 20’s range, in my opinion, always works best for her, as she relates better to this age group.

I am currently a single mum while living in Melbourne, and my daughter and I have recently relocated from New York. I grew up here, and am currently enrolled in university in the city. I am hoping to find someone kind, dependable, and consistent who can become an important part of our support system.

The position will begin on Thursday, February 19. It will involve getting my daughter ready for school, dropping her off at Fitzroy North Primary in the morning, and picking her up after school. This schedule must remain consistent for 12 weeks, finishing on Thursday, May 7. These days and times are essential, due to my classes, and that I anm unable to do school drop off or pickup myself on Thursdays. I would like to arrange a paid trial first to make sure it is a good fit for everyone.

Beyond this, I am also looking for someone who may be available at other times on various days during the week. This part of the role would be more flexible rather than on a fixed schedule. We can work out what suits both of us if it feels like the right fit.

Must have experience, and references that can be provided, and preferably close by to Fitzroy where we currently live.

Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.
