Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Croydon VIC

Immediate start!

We are looking for a babysitter to come to our house before school, get the kids ready and drop them off at school.

The kids are a 12 year old girl and 9 year old boy. They are used to having someone else take them to school and like to have some fun with that person if time allows. They are pretty self sufficient and could almost get the bus themselves - it's just our son gets a bit distracted when getting ready!

We are looking for someone 4-5 mornings a week during the school term, to start at 6:30am in Mitcham and finish when you drop the kids to school in Ringwood North at about 8:15am. Only household work is to make their breakfast, pack their lunch and empty the dishwasher (if we have remembered to run it!).

We pay $80 per morning. You will need your own car, driver's licence and WWC.

We would love to hear from you - we have always cherished the relationships formed with our previous babysitters.

Looking for nanny to care my two boys 10 and 6.5 years old. They are quite independent and very well-behaved.

School is at Warranwood, home at Nunawading and ballet school at Vermont. We prefer someone who is happy to do some simple cleaning like unstack and put dirty dishes into dish washer, put clothes into washing machine, sweeping floors etc.

Time will be from 3pm school pick up to 6pm which one of the parent will be home. Will add $15 for petrol each day. Looking for someone who is confident in driving. More days may be added eventually when I get more busy with my study and placement so we are looking for someone that we can build relationship with.

We on the hunt for an experienced nanny to help take care of our baby girl, as I would love some extra help for when my husband goes back to work. We are looking for someone who is experienced and has a current WWC, police check, first aid certificate (Tiny Hearts training a huge plus). Student (or registered) nurses and midwives will be highly regarded, as an experienced RN I am happy to help with your studies!

Position is for one day a week on a Tuesday OR Thursday for 6 hours, however, there is a potential for ad-hoc shifts when I go back to work/ for date nights.

We are looking for a part time experienced nanny to work 2 days per week (Tuesday & Wednesday) to care for both children.

Baby sitter wanted for casual care of an evening when we have an event on

Hi Potential Nannies!

Im looking for a Nanny for my 3 beautiful girls for a few days a week starting for the next 3 months.
We are a loud and bright family in Eltham North looking for someone to help make our lives that bit easier!
The girls are aged 5, 7 and 9 and all attend school or kindergarten (on some days of the week).
We have hosted aupairs from the last few years and are having a few month gap in which we need in home care as I work full time mostly out of the home (Nurse and Midwife, but office hours!).

The care I require can be flexible for the right person, however can involve:
Getting the kids ready for the day (and can involve driving them to and from from school and kinder)
School pick ups and taking them to after school activities such as swimming and gymnastics.
Entertaining them and actively playing to their interests (they all love being crafty!) and
keeping the house running a little.
In terms of household duties they would include light trying and cleaning up after everyone. Eg. Managing their many piles of girls clothes, tidying up after the girls and keeping the kitchen clean
Whats most important is that the kids are happy.
I will always cook dinner but if you are able to help then thats a bonus!

Our carers really join our family, so this role is more then just "watching" the kids, but actively being with the kids. The girls are all totally different personalities but are all warm and loving and respond well to a positive caring personality and someone who can actively listen to what the kids are telling you. The role also involves holding firm boundaries at times in a kind way (or else they will convince you they can eat nutella and cream sandwiches every day as an after school snack! This is far from their first rodeo with a new Nanny!)

If you are interested I would love to organise a chat where we can make sure we are the right fit for each other.
Cant wait to meet you! :)

Hi,

This is Kirti. I am looking for a carer to pickup my son from his kinder at 3pm and then my daughter from her school at 3.30pm and look after them till I come home at 5pm. The kinder and school are within working distance of each other or 1-2 minute drive. Need someone reliable on a weekly ongoing basis.

We are looking for someone warm, calm and proactive to support me with our 2 year old daughter 2–3 days per week for around 6 hour days, as we have recently welcomed a newborn into our family.

We’re hoping to find someone who enjoys imaginative play, nature, rhythm and creating a gentle home atmosphere. We lean a little Steiner/Waldorf in our parenting style and value calm, connection and a slower pace to the day.

Our daughter is currently toilet learning, so we’re looking for someone who is comfortable gently supporting and reminding her with using the toilet.

We’re also looking for someone who is comfortable with me being around at times, and who would enjoy coming along on solo or accompanied outings such as galleries, Collingwood Children’s Farm, light bush walks and our Steiner playgroup.

We would love someone nurturing, reliable and genuinely engaged with young children. Experience with toddlers and an interest in play-based care would be wonderful.

Please reach out if this sounds like a good fit for you. Flexible with start date

We are a family of four (from Camberwell) with two young children aged 2 and 4, plus a friendly small dog aged 10.

We’re looking for someone kind, reliable and proactive to help with the kids and general household tasks. This role would likely suit someone looking for some extra work alongside study, another job, or flexible casual hours.

Tasks may include:
- Playing with and entertaining the children, including setting up age-appropriate activities
- Assisting with morning routines (getting dressed, brushing teeth, hair, etc.)
- Helping navigate the occasional sibling disagreement!
- Assisting with preparing breakfast or dinner and encouraging the kids to help clean up afterwards
- Setting up the children’s bedrooms for bedtime
- Laundry and folding
- General tidying and household support
- Helping involve the children in pack-up and cleaning routines where possible
- Ad hoc household help such as unpacking the dishwasher or washing dishes

Please note:
We already have a regular cleaner and a robot vacuum, so no heavy-duty cleaning is required. However, we are looking for someone happy to help keep the household running smoothly alongside caring for the children. For example, if the children are out of the house during part of your shift, we would appreciate help with tidying toys, folding laundry, or resetting kids’ spaces.

Hours:
Exact hours are still being finalised, but shifts will likely include:
- Early mornings before kinder/daycare
- Evenings after we get home
- Possibly some daytime hours on Wednesdays and weekends

We’re flexible and happy to work around your availability, though some early morning or evening availability is essential. Shifts will generally be around 2–3 hours, with some longer occasional shifts on weekends and Wednesdays.

We’re hoping to find someone warm, engaging and comfortable juggling both children and light household support as part of family life.
