Long-term, part-time nanny who is kind, organised, firm and responsible to look after my darling, sweet, social 5-year-old boy (I know all Mums think that about their children, but he really is). Every Friday Morning.

- 7am start, drop to school 10am finish. Option to extend a couple of hours if you would be interested in doing some light housekeeping chores.
- Bonus if you could be available for some adhoc babysitting in the evening/ cover additional shifts while our other babysitter is on holiday.

You would have the option to use your own car (I would provide a booster seat) or use my car. There are lots of shops / cafes / supermarket in easy walk, and we are close to bus, tram and train lines, but at the moment the school is a half-hour drive away.

Keeping a tidy and organised home is a appreciated, but we have weekly cleaners as well, so don't expect cleaning (!). By far the most important thing is keeping my boy healthy, engaged and happy.

Start period really anytime from now. If this sounds like something you can help us with please contact me!

Looking for a wonderful Nanny to join our family. Our children are fun and bright (aged 5 and 10) and looking for someone who is responsible and kind to look after them and bring a sense of fun and adventure. This role does require you to have a car as we will need your help with school pick-ups.

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 20’s range, in my opinion, always works best for her, as she relates better to this age group.

Looking for somebody to start ASAP, which can involve picking daughter up from Fitzroy North Primary or her extracurricular classes, when she finishes and watching her during the evening. Looking for somebody to begin next week, and for afternoons/evenings concentrated from mid Oct through Nov 5th. This role is more flexible rather than on a fixed schedule.

Must have experience, and references that can be provided, and preferably close by to Fitzroy where we currently live. Pls respond with availability. Happy to arrange a paid trial first.

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

🌴 Job Opportunity: Native English or Spanish Teacher – One Year in Florianópolis, Brazil
Imagine spending a year living by the beach on one of the most beautiful islands in the world, while making a real difference in the lives of two wonderful children.
The role:
We’re looking for a native English or Spanish speaker to provide bilingual home-based education for our two children, ages 5 and 6. They are sweet, curious, and exceptionally bright. We’d love someone who blends teaching with warmth, bringing the language to life through play, stories, music, nature, and everyday activities.
What we offer
∙ Free accommodation in a newly renovated studio on the beach, close to our home
∙ A competitive salary, to be discussed
∙ A genuine cultural immersion, with the support of a welcoming family
About Florianópolis
Known as the “Ilha da Magia” (Island of Magic), Florianópolis is the capital of Santa Catarina in southern Brazil. The island has more than 40 beaches, from calm turquoise bays to world-class surf spots. You’ll also find lagoons, sand dunes, Atlantic Forest trails, and charming fishing villages with Azorean heritage.
It consistently ranks among Brazil’s cities with the highest quality of life. It is safe by Brazilian standards and has a thriving international community of digital nomads, surfers, and expats. The food scene is fantastic, especially the oysters, which are among the best in the country. From June to November, southern right whales visit the coast.

Living abroad for a year is about more than adding a line to your CV. It’s a life-changing experience. Brazil is warm, joyful, and full of life, with music, festivals, football, and a culture built around connection and hospitality.

Hello!

I'm a solo parent looking for a wonderful, experienced nanny to help care for my twin girls, who will be eight months old in January 2027 when the role will start.

We are based in Southbank, Melbourne, and I'm hoping to find someone very special who will become a trusted, long-term part of our family.

I am looking for a professional career nanny who is confident, organised and experienced with babies, but who also has a genuinely warm, affectionate and nurturing personality.

It is very important to me that the girls are cared for by someone who enjoys engaging with them, supporting their development and creating a happy, stimulating environment.

The role will involve caring for both girls, managing their daily routines, feeding, developmental play, outings, children's laundry, meal preparation and some light general housekeeping.

Hours: Initially 25–30 hours per week, following my four-week rotating work roster. Hours are likely to increase over time. Some occasional evening and weekend flexibility would be wonderful with advance notice. We will also have an au pair starting from January who will be helping with morning and evenings so this will be hours between 9 am to 5 pm depending on the day.

Pay: Dependent on experience.

Experience: Professional infant-care experience, paediatric first aid qualification and valid WCCC are mandatory. Early childhood qualifications/ nursing/midwifery back ground would be highly regarded.

We also have two dogs, so you must be comfortable having dogs around the home.

A driver's licence would be desirable as the girls get older but isn't essential at present.

This is a permanent position, and I'm really hoping to find someone who wants to stay with us for the long term and become an important part of the girls' childhood.

We're hoping to arrange paid trials in the first two weeks of December, with the position commencing in January 2027.

If this sounds like a fit, I'd love to hear from you. Please send me a little information about yourself, your experience and why you're interested in the role.
