Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Clayton VIC

Hello,

I am looking for a reliable and warm carer to help with my 9 year old son. He has autism but is high functioning. He is a beautiful sweet natured little boy and is in grade 3. My son is friendly and loves people and loves playing with trains, Harry Potter, titanic, boats and building lego.

My son finds attending Oosh (before and after school care at his school) overwhelming. Therefore I have received funding for someone to come Mon 730 to 9 am and 330 to 6pm. Must drive and have own car as it would involve taking him to and from school. Given he is eligible for funding the person must have an early child care qualification eg cert 3 in early childcare or currently studying it. Competitive hourly rate

What the role involves
* School drop off and pick up (will compensate for petrol)
* My son is fairly independent with getting ready and will be ready for school by the time the person arrives at 7:30 am. I usually have lunches packed but on the odd occassion it may involve finishing lunch off.
* Playing with him in the morning
* After school helping with homework
* Reminding him to have a shower (he can shower himself)

Essential criteria
* Experience with children
* Current first Aide
* Own Car
* Studying or qualifications in early child care

Desirable criteria
* Previous experience with autistic children or a willingness to learn more about how to support autistic children

This role would suit someone local who is studying (early child care) or easing back into work.

If you have any questions please reach out

Looking for experienced nanny (or nannies) to help mum with the after school hours on some of the weekdays (3:30-7:30pm but flexible on exact times) for 2 children (1.5 and 3.5 years old).

Mainly to play with the children, and help mum with the dinner/bath/bed routines on weekdays.

Potentially looking for before school sessions in the near future.

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.

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 someone to care for our 12-month-old son when I return to work in October from maternity leave. He is on a well-established routine and eats and sleeps well which creates predictable days and a content baby.

The mornings might involve playing at home, going for walks or local outings, visiting the library or playground, preparing and giving him lunch and following his usual routine.

We're hoping to find someone who we can build a long-term relationship with. I'm planning to return to work next year, so there is potential for the role to grow into 2 full days per week if we're a great fit.

Ideally you'll be:
- Experienced caring for toddlers around Arthur's age
- Confident caring for him independently
- Reliable, responsible and proactive
- Happy to follow our routines and parenting style
- Comfortable taking him for walks and local activities
- First Aid/CPR certified

Hi, I’m looking for a warm, bubbly, and patient carer with experience in disability. We have a gorgeous neurodivergent boy (autistic/ADHD/Intellectual Disability) who is 7 and developmentally around 2 years old. He is nonspeaking, very active, and has a lovely happy temperament. He loves any movement-based activities to keep him entertained and regulated. So you need to be fit! He is also very quick so needs to be shadowed constantly.

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.
