Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in East Melbourne VIC

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who has experience working with children 3-4 years old and is looking for casual work.

The role is a Test Officer who is responsible for conducting child panel testing for child-resistant packaging in accordance with AS 1928:2026. The role involves:
1. Coordinating testing sessions with Early Learning Centres,
2. Conducting child panel testing by sitting down with the children as they attempt to open the package, and
3. Recording the test results.

We need someone who is reliable and organised and has effective communication skills as you will need to coordinate multiple childcare centres across Melbourne to undertake each test process. The work is not consistent but generally expect that its about at least 12-14 tests a year providing a good little extra income stream.

The Test description:
A child is given an assembled child-resistant package that is filled with inert material (clean sand or water). The child then tries to remove the lid within 5 minutes. If the child can’t remove it, then it’s non-verbally demonstrated to them. After the demonstration, they try to remove it again for 5 minutes. The test is over if the child can remove the lid or if they cannot remove it within 5 minutes after the demonstration. Children may be tested in groups of up to four.

Position requirements:
1. Must hold a valid Working With Children Check,
2. Must have a National Police Check from within the last 12 months,
3. No educational background or laboratory experience required,
4. Ability to communicate fluently in English,
5. Excellent time management skills with the ability to meet deadlines, and
6. Enthusiasm for working with children.

Early Learning Centres generally require ~1.5 weeks to collect parent permissions after they’ve been booked in.
Wednesdays and Thursdays generally have the highest attendance rates for Early Learning Centres.

You will receive full training and proper induction prior to commencing. The first testing you will undertake with a supervisor to build confidence in the process.

Pay:
Child panel testing generally takes ~1-2 days (includes travel time to and from different centres) but has the potential to be completed in one day if the Test Officer is organised and has properly coordinated the Early Learning Centres.
- The total job pay ~$650 dollars fixed per test, regardless if it takes 1 day or 2 days.
- An additional $100 fuel reimbursement (inclusive of GST) is paid per test.

We are looking for someone to join our family as a part-time nanny to assist with after school pick ups from school / daycare for our two children. We also hope to utilise the same person for occasional babysitting on Friday / Saturday nights when we have family / social / work events. The regular pick up would ideally be on Tuesday afternoon, with the back up option of Mondays. Occasional Thursdays would also be helpful. Pick up is of our eldest ftom school then our youngest from daycare - both walking distance from our home. We have two little girls, our eldest is 6 years old and our youngest is 3. Both children enjoy imaginative play, dancing and singing, playing outside, exploring, craft activities and helping around the house. Both parents work in the CBD when in the office, and also work from home on occasion.

Hourly rate negotiable depending on experience and qualifications.

I'm after a regular sitter for my son, 11. One or two afternoons a week (flexible on which days), about 3.30 to 6.30 or 7pm, plus the occasional weekend.

He's auADHD but he's pretty independent, so it's an easy gig. He's a smart, funny kid who loves gaming and fun facts, and he has a special interest that changes week to week. Chess for a while, then golf, then table tennis, rock climbing, boxing ...you get the picture. You'd want to be someone who's happy to join in on whatever the current thing is.

If you're into gaming or full of random facts yourself, or have a special interest activity you two will get along.

He's been having his afternoons to himself lately and quite likes it, so part of the job is getting him off screens and doing stuff together. He'd game all afternoon if nobody stopped him.

Day to day it's pretty simple: hang out with him, make him some dinner, tidy the kitchen after.

If you've spent time around neurodivergent kids through work, family or your own experience, that's a big plus. He also has NDIS community participation funding, so if you're a qualified support worker or have an ABN activities and outings can be billed at support rates.

I'm a solo parent looking for someone ongoing and reliable, ideally a familiar face he ends up looking forward to.

If that sounds like you, tell me a bit about yourself and what days you're free.

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 and Friday from 12 - 4.30. Its very important to be talkative and playful as she feels more comfortable with such personalities. We prefer a good history of nannying alongside having first aid certificate, police check, working with children check and references. We are based in Kew and will, of course, take the time to explain and be around you to help build an easy going routine and comfort between our daughter and you.
Rate - $40 per hour. Appreciate your time, thank you.

Hello, my name is Courtney and I'm looking to hire a local babysitter for my son, who is 7 years old.
I am about to start a new job which has slightly longer hours than we’re used to, so we’re looking for someone to help out 2-3 afternoons/evenings per week. We are located in Northcote, near Johnston Park.
Responsibilities will include picking him up from school/after school care and bringing him home - we live a 5 minute walk away from school. From there, it will just be hanging out with him until I get home - light afternoon snack duties but NO dinner prep or other errands required.
Hours would be approximately 3.30pm-6.30pm, 2-3 times a week. Exact hours and days can be worked around the right candidate’s schedule.
Happy to answer any questions if required, look forward to hearing from you!
