We’re looking for a warm, reliable and engaging nanny to care for our eight-month-old son while I work from home. We also have a daughter who is nearly three, though the role will mainly focus on our baby.

The position is for Fridays, approximately 9 am to 4 pm. Duties would include feeding him, settling him for naps, playing and interacting with him, and coming up with age-appropriate activities. While he’s napping, we’d appreciate a little light household help, such as putting on or folding washing and tidying away toys.

We’re hoping to find someone caring and proactive who will become a familiar, trusted person in our family. As we build a good relationship, we’d also love to have you available for occasional babysitting.

Job to officially start early January 2027, looking to get a few causal shifts before then for a smooth transition.

Hello! We are a friendly young family, two working professionals and one child almost one year old. We are in search of a casual nanny to help look after our child, while I am working from home on weekdays during the day. Open to doing afternoons or whole days, and potential for regular days in the long term. Food for child is already prepared. Lots of space to roam and toys to play with in the house and multiple nearby parks and cafes. We hope it would be a pleasant and enjoyable role. At our core, we value principles of respect and kindness.

Ongoing Nanny Wanted – 3 girls (15 mth old twins + 3 yo) - Tuesday starting January 2027 as an ongoing role.

Hours: 7:30am - 5pm
Location: Kew East
Start: early January 2027 but would like to do 1-2 shifts in December for an easy transition. We would like this to be an ongoing role.

Looking for a reliable, trustworthy, experienced nanny to help care for my 3 girls (15-month-old twins + 3-year-old) whilst I add an additional day of work. We currently have another nanny helping us on my other 2 work days.

During quiet/nap time, I’d love a helping hand with light household tasks (laundry, tidying etc) and putting together simple meals for the girls.

You’ll be a great fit if you:
⁃ Have experience with multiple young children
⁃ Are warm, reliable + confident with multiple children
⁃ Have WWC, First Aid/CPR + Police Check
⁃ Can provide references

Pay negotiable and dependant on experience

If you’re interested, please DM me with a little bit about yourself, your childcare experience, where you live, and how long you’re looking to stay in this role for.

We are looking for a kind, caring person to join our family next year!

Our beautiful nanny of two years is graduating and moving rural, so we will sadly be farewelling her at the end of year and looking for someone to help us care for the girls. We have 3 daughters who are aged 2, 4 and 6.

Requirements:
- One full day with our 2 yr old per week
- + 4 hours house work per week
- School/kinder drop-offs and pickup
- Occasional evening babysitting.
- A confident driver
- Good at house organising, tidying, sorting toys, Tupperware etc, cooking, laundry - someone to help us keep on top of things.
- Caring, patient and fun with the children
- Reliable.
- We still need to iron out what the hours will look like as two of the girls are starting at new childcare/kinders and it may take a bit of getting used to.
- someone who lives nearby would be a bonus as the drop-offs/pickups may well be shorter hours. We live in East Hawthorn.

Must be alright with dogs as we have a family dog.

If you are interested could you please send me a message with more info on you, what you are looking for, and your experience.

This job wouldn't start until next year as our current babysitter will be with us until then, but we are looking to do some getting to know you hours this year.

Thank you xx

Hi all,

My family lives in Kew with our 3 children aged 8, 6 and nearly 4; our daughter goes to Camberwell Primary while the other two do a mix of kinder (Hawthorn East) + childcare (Kew).

We are looking for someone who could help weekday afternoons from around 3-6:30pm - helping with school pick-ups (and drop-offs to after-school activities for the older 2). We may also request help with executing simple dinner plans for the kids (and tidying up afterward). To start, we'd need help 3 days a week - Mon / Tue / Thu.

During school holidays or weeks when one parent is traveling for work, we may also ask for more hours - as possible.

* Mature and experienced - bringing confidence, comfort and good judgment around small kids - able to bring fun and playfulness yet maintain firm boundaries
* Warm and kind - creating strong positive attachments with our kids
* Engaged and development oriented - thoughtful about exposing the kids to activities and experiences that will help them learn and grow - i.e., on the floor talking and playing vs looking at phones + screens

* Has a drivers license, car and strong driving record - and willing and able to drive 2-3 kids
