🌴 Job Opportunity: Native English or Spanish Teacher – One Year in Florianópolis, Brazil
Imagine spending a year living by the beach on one of the most beautiful islands in the world, while making a real difference in the lives of two wonderful children.
The role:
We’re looking for a native English or Spanish speaker to provide bilingual home-based education for our two children, ages 5 and 6. They are sweet, curious, and exceptionally bright. We’d love someone who blends teaching with warmth, bringing the language to life through play, stories, music, nature, and everyday activities.
What we offer
∙ Free accommodation in a newly renovated studio on the beach, close to our home
∙ A competitive salary, to be discussed
∙ A genuine cultural immersion, with the support of a welcoming family
About Florianópolis
Known as the “Ilha da Magia” (Island of Magic), Florianópolis is the capital of Santa Catarina in southern Brazil. The island has more than 40 beaches, from calm turquoise bays to world-class surf spots. You’ll also find lagoons, sand dunes, Atlantic Forest trails, and charming fishing villages with Azorean heritage.
It consistently ranks among Brazil’s cities with the highest quality of life. It is safe by Brazilian standards and has a thriving international community of digital nomads, surfers, and expats. The food scene is fantastic, especially the oysters, which are among the best in the country. From June to November, southern right whales visit the coast.
Why a year in Brazil?
Living abroad for a year is about more than adding a line to your CV. It’s a life-changing experience. Brazil is warm, joyful, and full of life, with music, festivals, football, and a culture built around connection and hospitality. You’ll become fluent in Portuguese, form lasting friendships, and see the world, and yourself, through a new lens. Employers and universities increasingly value this kind of intercultural experience, adaptability, and independence.
Who we’re looking for
∙ Native English or Spanish speaker
∙ Experience with early childhood education (preferred)
∙ Patient, creative, responsible, and loves children
∙ Able to commit to one year

I am looking for a caring and reliable babysitter for my 8-year-old daughter, who has travelled the world, and is very sophisticated for her age. She is also at times very strong headed. So, a babysitter in 20’s range, in my opinion, always works best for her, as she relates better to this age group.

Looking for somebody to start ASAP, which can involve picking daughter up from Fitzroy North Primary or her extracurricular classes, when she finishes and watching her during the evening. Looking for somebody to begin next week, and for afternoons/evenings concentrated from mid Oct through Nov 5th. This role is more flexible rather than on a fixed schedule.

Must have experience, and references that can be provided, and preferably close by to Fitzroy where we currently live. Pls respond with availability. Happy to arrange a paid trial first.

Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello!

I'm a solo parent looking for a wonderful, experienced nanny to help care for my twin girls, who will be eight months old in January 2027 when the role will start.

We are based in Southbank, Melbourne, and I'm hoping to find someone very special who will become a trusted, long-term part of our family.

I am looking for a professional career nanny who is confident, organised and experienced with babies, but who also has a genuinely warm, affectionate and nurturing personality.

It is very important to me that the girls are cared for by someone who enjoys engaging with them, supporting their development and creating a happy, stimulating environment.

The role will involve caring for both girls, managing their daily routines, feeding, developmental play, outings, children's laundry, meal preparation and some light general housekeeping.

Hours: Initially 25–30 hours per week, following my four-week rotating work roster. Hours are likely to increase over time. Some occasional evening and weekend flexibility would be wonderful with advance notice. We will also have an au pair starting from January who will be helping with morning and evenings so this will be hours between 9 am to 5 pm depending on the day.

Pay: Dependent on experience.

Experience: Professional infant-care experience, paediatric first aid qualification and valid WCCC are mandatory. Early childhood qualifications/ nursing/midwifery back ground would be highly regarded.

We also have two dogs, so you must be comfortable having dogs around the home.

A driver's licence would be desirable as the girls get older but isn't essential at present.

This is a permanent position, and I'm really hoping to find someone who wants to stay with us for the long term and become an important part of the girls' childhood.

We're hoping to arrange paid trials in the first two weeks of December, with the position commencing in January 2027.

If this sounds like a fit, I'd love to hear from you. Please send me a little information about yourself, your experience and why you're interested in the role.

We are a warm, welcoming family looking for a reliable and experienced housekeeper who is also comfortable with a toddler and dogs, as we have a groodle :). Our little girl Rémi is 1 year old next month, and we are seeking someone who can help maintain a clean and organised home environment while also providing occasional support with the little one.
Responsibilities Include:
* General housekeeping: cleaning, laundry, dishes, tidying, organising
* Maintaining a safe and hygienic environment
* Occasionally assisting with baby-related tasks
* Light meal prep or help in the kitchen
* Running small errands as needed

Ideally 2-3 days a week

We are looking for someone who is reliable, fun and kind to do school pick up and drop off to extra curricular activities for our almost 9 yo girl. Our girl is quite independent and very easy to hang out with.
Duties including school pick up (her school is located in Moonee Ponds and we live in Parkville) snack preparation, play and entertaining, sometimes a little bit of homework, pick up & drop off to activities and general tidy up. No household duty is expected.

Looking for a wonderful Nanny to join our family. Our children are fun and bright (aged 5 and 10) and looking for someone who is responsible and kind to look after them and bring a sense of fun and adventure. This role does require you to have a car as we will need your help with school pick-ups.

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

Looking for a nanny for my 2 year old daughter. She doesn’t have any special needs or allergy. I am a stay-at-home mum and looking for someone for 5 hours per day, 2 days a week so I can have some time to myself. I am flexible with the days. I need someone willing to do these regular hours for consistency. From time to time, I may also be open to a few hours in the evenings for me to be able to attend some social events/dinners.

We are located in Docklands and have a tram stop right in front of our apartment for those taking public transport. We also have secure free parking if you prefer driving. There are lots of outdoor and indoor toddler friendly activities that are within walking distance and we have yearly passes to some attractions nearby. Also, our apartment has lots of space and a play room so there will be lots to do on a cold rainy day or a sticky hot day.

My daughter is very social, curious and creative. She loves exploring outdoor and nature. She loves dancing, reading, colouring, building activities, riding her bike, listening to music and lots of imaginative play. I am looking for someone that will truly put in their time and effort towards fostering her development. In other words, im not looking for a child minder im looking for someone we can use long term as our family grows.
