Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Darley VIC

Hi!

We’re a warm, easy-going family in Burnside Heights looking for a caring, reliable nanny to become an important part of our daughter’s life.

Our daughter will celebrate her first birthday in February, and we’re hoping to find someone who will become a trusted part of her world as she grows through these precious early years.

The Role
Location: Burnside Heights
Day: Preferably Friday, although there is some flexibility as we’re currently finalising our work schedules.
Hours: 8:00 am – 6:00 pm (10 guaranteed paid hours)

I’m planning to return to work one day per week from November, and we’d love to arrange a few casual sessions throughout October so everyone has the opportunity to get to know each other before regular care begins.

What our days look like

We love spending time:
* Library story time
* Local playgroups
* Parks and nature walks
* Reading books
* Music and singing
* Sensory and creative play
* Learning through everyday experiences

We’re looking for someone who enjoys being present with children, following their interests and creating a fun, nurturing day.

Your role

* Providing warm, responsive care for our daughter
* Preparing and serving her meals and snacks
* Following her sleep routine
* Drying and putting away her clothes
* If you’re comfortable with dogs, taking our friendly Cavoodle for a short walk with the pram

There is no general housework expected. We simply ask that our daughter’s needs come first and that you enjoy spending quality time together.

About us
We’re a warm, easy-going family. Mum is a Maternal & Child Health Nurse and Dad is a Physiotherapist, and we both have a strong interest in children’s health, development and wellbeing.

We value responsive, relationship-based care and see this as a partnership. We’d love to find someone who feels comfortable in our home and genuinely enjoys becoming part of our daughter’s world.

Please make yourself at home while you’re here. Help yourself to tea, coffee and lunch, and if you’re out enjoying story time, the park or a local café with our daughter, we’d love you to grab a coffee or a little treat while you’re out together, our shout.

Although the role is until 6:00 pm, we’ll often be home between 5:15-5:45pm, and if we’re home early, you’re welcome to finish then while still being paid until 6:00 pm.

What we’re looking for
* Warm, kind and patient
* Reliable and trustworthy
* Genuinely passionate about working with young children
* Great communication skills
* Current Working With Children Check
* Current First Aid & CPR (or willingness to obtain)
* Driver’s licence

Pay
* $28–30 per hour, depending on experience
* 10 guaranteed paid hours each week
* Regular pay reviews as the role develops

We’re not simply looking for someone to watch our daughter while we’re at work. We’re hoping to find a kind, dependable person who becomes a trusted part of her world—someone she feels excited to see each week, and someone who genuinely enjoys watching her learn, grow and discover the world.

If this sounds like the kind of role you’d love, we’d be delighted to hear from you. Please tell us a little about yourself, your experience, your current work or study, and what draws you to working with young children.

We look forward to meeting you!

Stacey, Sam & our little girl

Hi I need a babysitter once or twice a week at home to care for my 7 month baby and help with her food and basics. Hoping to find a caring babysitter who is good with babies.

Hi babysitters. My husband and I are seeking a babysitter to look after our son in the morning before school, so I can go to the gym, 2-3 days a week. Hours would be 5.30am-7.30/8am. He will be asleep so you can snooze on the couch, watch tv or chill out ☺️. If he does wake up he can get himself ready or watch tv until I get home.

We’re an easy going family but also have a large, friendly dog.

Sometimes there might be a requirement to pick our son up after school and look after him for an hour or 2 until we come home from work, if we sometimes have to work late. But we can discuss these scenarios as they arise.

We are seeking a fun, kind, friendly person to fit in with our family.

Happy to discuss wage.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Looking for daytime assistance on a Sunday morning 8am-12pm and Monday daytime 9am-5pm, for my 6 month old.

Care tasks include changing, feeding (formula and solids), settling her to sleep, pram walks and outdoor play, and indoor playtime to assist with developing her skills.

Experience in skill development and caring for 6 month old babies is essential, along with a driving licence, WWCC, police check, and first aid qualification.

We are a busy family looking for a reliable, caring and organised nanny to assist with before and after school care for our four children, as both parents work full-time.

Hours:

* Monday to Friday
* Morning: 7:00 am – 9:00 am
* Afternoon: 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm

About the role:

* Assist with the morning routine.
* School drop-offs and afternoon pick-ups.
* Drop one child at the local school bus stop each morning and collect them from the same location in the afternoon.
* Transport children to and from local schools (all drop-off and pick-up locations are within a few minutes of our home).
* Supervise the children after school until we arrive home.
* Occasionally assist with preparing a simple dinner for the children if we’re running late.

One of our children has autism. They are verbal, independent, and very well behaved, and travel to and from school on a dedicated school bus. We’re looking for someone who is patient, kind, and understanding. Experience supporting children with autism is a bonus but not essential.

We’re looking for someone who is:

* Reliable and punctual.
* Warm, caring and enjoys working with children.
* Holds a current driver’s licence and has a reliable vehicle.
* Comfortable transporting children safely.
* Has (or is willing to obtain) a Working With Children Check and Police Check.

If you think you’d be a great fit for our family, we’d love to hear from you. We’d be happy to meet for a coffee and chat more about the role to see if it’s the right fit for everyone.
