Hello!

**FLEXIBLE START DATE**
We are looking to welcome an experienced nanny to help with our three children- two boys (9 and 6 yo) and a little girl (5 yo).

Our current nanny has a summer internship starting earlier than expected so looking for someone for 2027 but if available earlier (23/11) that would be wonderful but not mandatory. We would rather find the right person for the job.

The job would involve morning drops off to school (and kindergarten for 2026). School is a 5 min drive from our house and kindergarten is opposite where we live. In 2027 all three kids will
Be at the same school. This would be set Mondays and Wednesdays and 3-4 additional Tuesday and Thursdays per month.

Support a single Dad with 3 amazing children! Loving home, dog included.

Looking for a happy, reliable, caring person to become a trusted part of our routine on a long-term basis. The main job is a simple one: on Tuesday and Sunday evenings, collect the kids (14, 9 and 7) from our home in South Yarra at 6pm sharp and drive them to their mum's place on St Kilda Road for 6:30pm. About an hour all up including your return. Some weeks it's one evening, some weeks both. You'd pop in briefly, gather the troops and go. Same person every time - the kids need to know and trust you, so we'd have you over to meet them once or twice first.

If you'd like more hours, I'd love a hand with light housekeeping and/or ironing on a weekday - entirely by arrangement.

Over January there'll be a few Sunday evenings where the kids are holidaying on the Mornington Peninsula (Portsea) - a short local run at 6:30pm, with your travel paid. If you're down that way over summer, even better.

You'll ideally:
- Have experience caring for children and a calm, easy-going, organised manner
- Hold a current Working with Children Check and a National Police Check
- Have two parent references we can call
- Have a full clean driver's licence, with your own reliable car or happy to drive mine (insured for you)
- Be a non-smoker

Minimum 1.5 hours per run, paid weekly. Starting November.

If this sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you - tell me a bit about yourself, your experience, your WWCC and police check status, and your Tuesday and Sunday evening availability. Any questions, just ask.

I'm looking for 1-2 nannies in or near SOUTH YARRA to take my twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday). In the morning, it's quite easy - you change their nappy from the night, give them a formula bottle, and take them to childcare, which is 5 minutes away, between 7-8am in the morning, so it can take about 30-40 minutes total.
In the evening, you pick them up from childcare at 6pm, then feed (solid food)/wash/change them before going to bed at 8pm, so 2 hours total (6-8pm)
In addition, each nanny does 1 day on the weekend, for example, Saturday Or Sunday from 12-5pm (or 1-6pm).
Ideally, you should have experience caring for infants; be friendly, warm, and nurturing; understand infants' needs; have good command of English; and perform light duties, such as kids' laundry, food prep, cleaning after them.
If interested and qualified, please contact me to discuss asap.
Thanks,
Ilan

Experienced Nanny Wanted - 3 Days Per Week

We are a warm, loving family looking for an experienced, caring and reliable nanny to help care for our one-year-old child on a regular basis.

We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with young children and would love to become a trusted and valued part of our family’s routine.

The role

We are looking for someone available 3 days per week, Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays. The hours can be discussed with the right candidate.

On most days, you will be caring for our one-year-old. On one of the days, there may be two one-year-old children to care for together, so we are looking for someone who is confident and experienced managing two young children at this age.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

* Providing warm, attentive and nurturing care
* Following our child’s established routine, including meals and naps
* Planning and engaging in age-appropriate play and activities
* Getting out for walks, playgrounds, classes or other local activities where appropriate
* Preparing healthy meals and snacks for the children
* Cleaning up after meals and keeping the children’s spaces organised
* Children’s laundry, including washing, folding and putting clothes away
* General tidying related to the children
* Helping maintain a calm, happy and organised environment throughout the day

About you

We are looking for someone who is:

* Experienced in caring for babies and toddlers
* Warm, nurturing and genuinely enjoys being around young children
* Confident caring for two one-year-olds at the same time
* Reliable, punctual and trustworthy
* Proactive and able to use initiative throughout the day
* Organised and happy to help with children-related household tasks
* Patient, calm and attentive
* Looking for a regular, ongoing position rather than occasional babysitting

Essential requirements:

* Previous professional childcare/nanny experience
* Current Working With Children Check
* First Aid and CPR certification
* Excellent, recent references
* Non-smoker

A relevant childcare qualification and/or experience caring for multiple young children would be highly regarded.

We are hoping to find someone who will build a lovely relationship with our child and become a trusted part of our family over the longer term.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. Please tell us a little about yourself, your childcare experience, your availability and your relevant qualifications/checks.

Hi there!

We are looking for a proven babysitter. We are located in Caulfield North and have a 8-month-old girl and a 3-year-old boy. Both are very calm and easy-going kids. We also have a Cavoodle that is friendly. My husband works from home part-time, so he can be around to support where required.

The day/times we are looking at (some flex) are:
1. Monday - 08:30 to 12:30 - both kids.
2. Wednesday - 09:00 to 17:00 - only the baby girl.
3. Friday - 09:00 to 17:00 - both kids.

Alongside keeping the kids active and looked after as the priority, we’re looking for someone happy to help keep the day running smoothly with light cooking and basic tidying/folding while the kids nap or play.

We are seeking someone with proven experience with babies, and toddlers.

If this sounds like a good fit, we'd love to chat and organise a meet-and-greet!

Warmly,
Lana + Viji
