Activities - swimming, tennis, soccer etc and then coming home to our house in Glen Iris and getting kids dinner ready.

We need someone with a licence and their own car as well as the usual WWC checks and references.

I am looking for a casual babysitter for when I go back to work, I will be working from home but will need someone to help look after my daughter. I will need help for 5 days per week alternating every second month. Days are flexible but time will need to be 9:30 - 2:30. Meals will be pre-made for my daughter, you will not need to do any cooking or cleaning.

Hi there, I am looking for a nanny for a permanent part- time position for the following 2 days after school:
- Monday 3pm-7pm
- Thursday 3pm-7pm

We live in Balwyn North.

I have two boys - aged 3 and 5. They are pretty well behaved boys with no special needs.

On each day, I need my 5yo son picked up from Primary School (in Kew) at 3:15pm. You will also need to pick up the 3yo at some stage before 5pm at his childcare in East Kew. Tasks for each evening include:
- Pick up 5yo from school
- Pick up 3yo from childcare
- Feed them dinner
- Bath/shower them
- Do any required school activities with the 5yo (I.e. readers, writing etc)
- light house duties such as cleaning kitchen, folding washing, tidying up.

Basically my husband and I would like to come home to two fed and happy boys.

This is an ongoing permanent part-time position and it is crucial that I have someone reliable. My husband and I will be in the office both these days so we cannot handle last minute unavailability.

I would also like you to have a reliable and safe car. I can provide the car seats and happy to agree on a reasonable allowance for petrol money each week.

Also, we would like you to be available for casual weekend babysitting from time to time (we usually go out once per month), so if you are not available at all on weekends, that probably won’t suit our needs.

Thanks so much!

We’re a family based in Kew seeking a dependable and caring nanny to look after our 11-month-old son on a regular weekly basis. He’s an active, smiley little boy who loves interaction, so we’re hoping to find someone who brings warmth, energy, and genuine enjoyment to their time with him.

We’d love someone who:
• Has hands-on experience caring for babies
• Is naturally calm, kind, and attentive
• Communicates well and takes initiative
• Is reliable and consistent week to week

We’re looking for someone who will feel comfortable in our home and build a positive connection with our son, becoming a trusted part of our routine.

Hi, our daughter is 2.5 years old and we now require an energetic, caring and extroverted nanny starting for Wed/Thurs/Fri hours during the week.

We are based in Kew and will, of course, take the time to explain and be around you to help build an easy going routine and comfort between our daughter and you.
Rate - $30 per hour. Appreciate your time, thank you.

Requirements:
- Experience looking after multiple children/babies at once - including changing nappies, feeding bottles and meals.

- Driving licence optional

$35-45ph negotiable pending on experience and ability to look after 3 children at once.
