Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Bacchus Marsh VIC

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.

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.

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.

Hi there!
My name is Christeen, and I'm looking for a caring and reliable babysitter for our 1-year-old son, Tavi, for two out of the following three days: Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. I work from home and need someone to care for Tavi during business hours (9am–5pm).

We're hoping to find someone who:
• Can plan age-appropriate, engaging activities that support Tavi’s motor and cognitive development (bonus if you're familiar with Montessori-style play).
• Can assist with preparing and feeding meals.
• Is confident putting him down for naps independently (I'll be around to support you as he gets used to it).
• Can change nappies.
• Can help with his daily routine, especially to support an earlier bedtime around 7pm.
• Wouldn’t mind helping with small daily household tasks while Tavi naps.
• Bonus: Speaks Spanish! I’m hoping to reintroduce the language into our home, and exposure through play and conversation would be wonderful.

We prefer someone who has professional experience working with toddlers aged 1–2, whether as a babysitter, in a daycare or early childhood education setting, and who can provide references for that experience.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone nurturing, fun, and trustworthy. Someone Tavi will be excited to see and feel safe with. So far, he’s been cared for by his grandparents and is used to being with loving, familiar adults.

A bit about us:
We’re a small family of four: my husband and I, our sweet 1-year-old Tavi, and Benji, our gentle and friendly 7-year-old Golden Retriever. We live in Mickleham and both my husband and I work from home. We follow a gentle parenting approach and are inspired by Montessori principles. We aim to give Tavi the freedom to explore, learn, and grow at his own pace in a calm and supportive environment.

We’re really excited to welcome the right person into our lives and look forward to finding someone who feels like a natural fit with our family. If this sounds like you, please get in touch and share your experience and references at chriskas2020@gmail.com.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
