Hey guys, my name is Chris. I’m the father of my son William who is nine years old and my daughter Alina who is six years old.

I’m a single father who has crazy work hours and I need someone tomorrow at 9 am to help me babysit for five or six hours


There was also an opportunity a part-time opportunity to babysit more frequently during the week to help me out

We’re a family with three boys aged 13, 10 and 8, and we’re looking for someone warm, reliable and capable who would ideally like to stay with us long term.

We’re looking for help for around 2–3 hours Monday–Thursday afternoons, as well as occasional evening babysitting for date nights. The afternoons will vary depending on the boys’ activities and may include school/activity drop-offs, helping with homework, laundry and ironing, simple meal prep and general light household help.

We’d love someone who is mature, kind, organised and happy to take some initiative.

$32–$35/hour depending on experience.

Please send us a short, personal introduction about yourself, your experience, availability, whether you drive, and why you think the role might suit you. No need for a formal or polished cover letter — we’d much rather get a feel for who you are.

We’re a busy family with three young boys and both parents working full time. We’re looking for someone experienced, organised and proactive to take the lead on Tuesdays and Fridays, caring for our two younger boys, aged 3 and 5, while also helping keep the household running smoothly during the day.

Tuesday: 8:30 am to 5:00 pm
Friday: 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, with occasional 5:00 pm finishes
Rate: $35 to $40 per hour, depending on experience
Location: Hawthorn

The boys love getting out and about, including trips to the local library, Bounce, playgrounds, museums, the zoo and other activities. We both work from home, so having someone who can confidently take ownership of the day, plan activities and get the boys out of the house has worked really well for us.

There are no school or kinder pick-ups required.

You’ll need your own car and a full driver’s licence. We provide the car seats.

We also have a friendly family Groodle, so you’ll need to be comfortable around dogs, but there is no dog walking or pet care involved.

Alongside caring for the boys, we’re looking for someone who is happy to help keep things ticking over at home, including resetting the boys’ bedrooms, kitchen and living area, keeping on top of their things and preparing food for them during the day. We have a cleaner, so this is more about keeping the house organised and reset rather than heavy cleaning.

We’d love someone who naturally sees what needs doing, is confident taking initiative and can help make those two days run smoothly for the whole family.

Previous nanny or childcare experience is important, and we’re looking for someone who can commit to the role for the remainder of 2026.

Our current nanny, who we found through this site, is moving to regional Victoria and will be finishing up with us shortly. She is very happy to provide a reference about the role and our family.

If you’re interested, please send me a message with a little about yourself and your experience.

We are looking for a warm, experienced nanny to complement our family and hopefully be with us for the long term. If you're a nanny looking for a new family, or know someone amazing who might be interested, please reach out!
