Hello!

We are looking for an experienced babysitter/nanny to spend each Wednesday with our two children - Alfie (5yrs old) and Hazel (2yrs old) from approx 8am - 6pm. We are after someone that genuinely enjoys spending time with kids and is also comfortable preparing food for them etc.

Hi

We are looking for afterschool care for our 7 year old boy commencing immediately. Initially we are looking for Monday and Wednesday from 3:30pm to 7pm.

Our family is quite dynamic as two full time executives working and travelling. We have three boys aged 20, 17 and 7. The ‘big boys’ are with us every other week and are fairly self-sufficient. We also have a medium size fluffy dog called Lando who is friendly and gentle and will love pats from you!

We live in Northcote and a 500m walking distance to the primary school for pick up.

We are seeking help two afternoons a week for our youngest from 3:30pm to 7pm. Monday and Wednesday. The role includes collection from school, general playtime, reading, some clothes washing and preparing easy family meals.

We have a nanny at the moment but she is has limited availability and we are seeking additional support. We are hopeful that if this arrangement is successful you will be part of our list of casual carers for weekend events or date nights.

Our ideal nanny is someone responsible with good communication skills, friendly punctual, and proactive.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Lindsey & Matt

I am seeking a part-time nanny to care for my two children, a 20 month old girl and 4.5 year old boy. Depending on the day, you may be caring for one or both children.

On a typical week, I'm seeking approx. 8 hours of care. A typical week would be:
- Either Monday or Wednesday: 9:30 am - 12:30 pm (until nap time)
- Thursday: 10 am - 3 pm.
I am flexible with the times if needed and there are opportunities for hours to increase during busy periods, school holidays, etc.

Must have police check, WWCC, parent references and be a non-smoker

I’ll be travelling overseas with work and we need some help picking up / dropping off our 3 boys at school while I’m away. Also help making dinner for the boys, tidying house and walking our dog Frankie.

We’re looking for a warm, fun and energetic male babysitter/manny to become a regular part of our family’s support network and spend time with our two children, aged 8 and 10.

We’d particularly love to find someone who genuinely enjoys hanging out with kids and is happy getting outdoors and doing active things — kicking a soccer ball or footy, shooting hoops, bike rides, trips to the park, swimming, or whatever the kids are interested in. Our 8-year-old son would especially benefit from someone who can help him build confidence with ball sports in a really casual, fun way — we’re definitely not looking for formal coaching!

Our 10-year-old daughter may sometimes want to join in and at other times do her own thing, so we’re looking for someone who is equally happy spending time with both kids and following their interests.

Both children have lots of interests beyond sport and we’d love someone who can just enjoy being with them — whether that means Minecraft, Lego, drawing, playing games, going on an outing or having a kick at the park.

This isn’t intended to be a super-structured role. We’re really looking for the right person: someone kind, responsible, engaged and playful who could ideally build a great ongoing relationship with the kids. It could suit a uni student, teacher/PE teacher in training, sports coach or someone already working with children.

Initially we’re thinking a few hours once or twice a week, with flexibility for additional babysitting, weekends and school holidays if it suits everyone.

A current Working With Children Check is essential, and we’d also require references and a police check. A driver’s licence, first aid qualification and previous experience with primary-school-aged children would be highly regarded.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy who really likes kids and will make spending time together feel like fun rather than another organised activity.

Hi, our daughter is 2.5 years old and we now require an experienced, energetic, caring and extroverted nanny (who is at least 21 years old) every week on Thursday from 12 - 4.30 with the chance of additional hours as familiarity increases.

I am looking for a reliable, long-term nanny for my four-year-old daughter. She needs to be picked up four afternoons a week. We live in an apartment with on-street parking available, and I’m looking for someone with a car who is comfortable doing pickups and driving her home, for one hour with the flexibility to stay up to three hours if required.

I’m hoping to find someone warm, dependable and experienced who can become a consistent part of her routine.

I'm looking for 1-2 nannies in or near SOUTH YARRA to take my twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Monday, 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
