Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Caulfield East VIC

My name is Kate and I am looking for a part time nanny to look after my son. Starting in October, we would be looking for someone 2 days a week, 8am until 2pm with the opportunity to increase and also adhoc babysitting. He will be 8 months old. We also have a golden retriever who is very friendly who would also be around but needs only a few pats here and there to keep him happy. Let me know if this is of interest to you.

Thanks,

Hi there,

We’re looking for a warm and reliable person(s) to help with a bit of childcare and housework.

One parent works long hours, the other is away for 2 weeks of the month for work (FIFO), so we’re looking to help with the workload.

We have a 3.5yo son, and a 10 year old dog (whippet).

Jobs:
The idea is to help with the afternoon and evening shift: come around in the afternoon and assist with some housework (see below), walk the dog, then bring our son home from childcare, prepare dinner, some playtime with our son and put him to bed.

The housework component will depend on what needs to be done on day and can include:
Cleaning,
Dishes
Tidying up
Washing clothes, folding laundry,
Meal planning,
Cooking / meal prepping

We’ll provide a car for the childcare pickup.

Timing:
- 3 weekdays per week, flexible. We’re also happy to split this across multiple people, so don’t be afraid to get in touch if you can only do one day per week.
- 3pm - 9pm. Generally, the bedtime routine finishes at 9pm, so we’re after someone who can typically help at that time, however we’re open to discussing starting and finishing times.

We’re looking for someone who:
- Is reliable and trustworthy
- Warm, and likes working with children
- Has a working with children check certificate,
- Has a drivers licence
- Likes dogs (our dog is harmless, but excitable)
- Has initiative; can notice what needs doing without being asked

If this sounds like something that would suit you, get in touch! We’d love to hear from you. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions!

*(It may take 3 - 5 days for us to respond to your application! Thanks!)
** I’ve put every day of the week into the profile to indicate our flexibility on the weekdays. To confirm, we are looking for 3 weekdays per week.

Hi everyone! We are a blended family of 5 (Ash, Matt, Maxi, Lily & Harper) living in Malvern East.

We are looking for a experienced full time nanny to care for our two daughters Lily (age 4) and Harper (age 3).

Duties will include - light house work (laundry, dishes, general tidy and meal prep), driving the kids to their lessons and activities as well as planning activities for the kida to do at home and out.

We need someone to take the mental load of us so we can go to work and you can run the kids schedules and our home while we are away.

Essentials: puntuality, flexibility, reliability, organisation skills, multitasking and experience with children ages 3, 4 and 5.

On a rarer occasion our son Max will be with us (once a week). He has a rare genetic disorder so a interest or experience with neurodivergence would be great but not essential.

We are looking for a part-time nanny to help us with our two kids, 5 year old daughter and 8 year old son. We live in Caulfield North. They are both at primary school in Malvern and we are looking for assistance with school pick-ups on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. A car would be required to bring them home from school and potentially take them to some after school training etc. Aside from pick up, we are looking for help with some minor household chores (e.g. laundry, lunch boxes empty etc), basic meal prep and prepping the kids for bed-time. Likely hours would be 3pm to 6pm.

Many thanks,
Cecilia and Billy

My wife and I are looking for someone to do 2-3 afternoons a week with our daughter Camilla (7) after school.

She is at Brighton Primary school, and we would ideally be looking for assistance between 3:30 - 5:30 on Monday to Wednesday, or at least two of those days.

She usually has some activities after school so it would mainly be taking her to those and then home for a bit before we are back from work. Camilla is extremely low maintenance and has always had a great relationship with any babysitters she has had (we have never had a more permanent nanny).

If you are interested, we would love to organise a time to meet and see if it is a good fit.

We live in Brighton East.

Cheers.

I'm looking for a support worker for myself. I have some additional support needs and I'm looking for practical, hands-on help with:

- Light housework
- Body doubling (sitting with me while I work through tasks, to help me stay focused)
- Accompanying me to appointments
- Picking up items on my behalf (e.g. dry cleaning)

I have an 19-month-old little boy, who will be with me for our time together, so I'm looking for someone who is genuinely great with young children, comfortable being around a toddler, and happy to help keep an eye on him while I focus on tasks.

This is a contractor arrangement — you'll need to hold an ABN and invoice me directly.

Hours: 2-3 days per week (likely Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday), roughly 2-3 hours per shift.

If this sounds like a good fit, please get in touch and tell me a bit about yourself and your experience.
