Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Elwood VIC

We're looking for a nanny to help on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
You'll mostly be looking after our 6 month old baby and 3 year old girl.
The role involves light housework – washing, dishes, rubbish. We do most of the meal prep but you can help with that.
The kids love being outside so lots of adventures.
We want someone easy going, responsible, kind. Hoping for someone long term. Must have experience with babies.

Hello! We are a friendly young family looking for a part-time live-out nanny to care for our three children in Elwood from February (start date flexible). Further details below:

Days: Ideally Mon, Tues and Thurs 8am - 7pm, plus occasional night time babysitting. Hours on Monday and Tuesday can be flexible.

Ages of kids: 10, 7 and 4 (plus a friendly dog!)

Criteria: WWCC, driving licence (you can drive our car), fully vaccinated, references, non smoking (and first aid preferable)

Pay: Negotiable depending on experience and whether you are looking for casual or part time/contracted rate

Duties: caring for three children when they are not at school/kinder/grandparents, pick ups and drop offs, meal prep, kids’ laundry, tidying, walking the dog

We have had a nanny for 10 years now and so we are experienced and committed employers. We are looking for someone who can commit to a longer term role and become part of our family.

While quality childcare is obviously still the priority, as the kids get older we are finding the nanny role involves a mix of childcare and helping us with the kids’ school/kinder/sport logistics and general house keeping.

Please get in touch if you are interested. Looking to interview (either over the phone or in person) in the second half of January.

Thanks very much in advance!

Hello,

We are a busy family of 4 and are looking for someone to help us out a few days a week (might vary depending on availability). We have 2 gorgeous girls, one in Primary school and one about to start Senior school, whilst both my husband and I run different businesses.

We'd love a little help getting our family organised. In terms of the girls, it would be getting them from school (& possibly to) and co-ordinating some of the logistics around their after school activities. We would love sometime on a longer term basis, to spend some time with them whether it's homework help, playing on the trampoline, shooting hoops or recreating tik tok dances!

We'd love help of around 10-12hrs per week if possible but someone with some flexibility. Additional hours would be available when we travel or need a night out.

Our ideal scenario for now would be;
- Tuesday from 9-5pm (would involve some drop offs, pick ups and school pick ups) with some light house work, errands and possible dog walking in between.
- Wednesday afternoons 3-6pm
- Depending on availability there could also be a few mornings we'd like help with too.
- Depending on availability a fortnightly scheduled date night would be a bonus

We have 2 busy daughters aged 9yrs & 12yrs with lots of scheduled activities to keep them busy (gymnastics, netball, swimming, acting classes).

We had a long term Nanny but these days we don't need quite as much help. We’d love to have the same person to call on so the girls can build a relationship and to also help put with the occasional babysitting for weekday date nights or weekends.

Must have a safe and reliable car and driving record for pick ups and drop offs. Must love dogs (we only have one, she's a big teddy bear).

We'd love you to get in touch and meet the girls.

We have two children, Ria who is 2 and Petros who is 1.

We are seeking a nanny who speaks fluent Greek. Ria, will also be starting half day kinder in January, 3 days per week, so your time will sometimes be with one child, and other times with both of them. The kids are both in a very good routine with their meals and naps, so our primary objective is for our nanny to maintain their routine and engage in meaningful play.

Some cooking and folding washing is terrific too, wherever possible.

We look forward to hearing from you!

My ideal candidate would also speak afrikaans or German … I am Afrikaans and would like the children to also continue to speak but it’s not a deal breaker just an advantage. We are looking for an experienced nanny/carer t help with children pick ups after school and even some morning drop offs, packing lunch boxes, cleaning and organising. Min 3 afternoons a week max 4 full days a week if someone can cook and clean.

Needs to have own vehicle and able to do homework and study with kids 12 and 14 and if possible some sport or excercise.

If qualified can also help as Assitant to family and office chores, marketing etc.

Hello! We are looking for the right person to become part of our household each week Monday-Wednesday from 3.30-(approx)6pm. There will also be a couple of mornings as well as the year progresses.

We believe it takes a village to raise a child, and having all family in other parts of the state and the country, we need some extra support with the two children in our care after school. The kids are bubbly, engaged and in a great routine.

The successful candidate will be able to facilitate school pick up, afternoon tea, some after school commitments (including dance, swimming etc), get dinner started ... and some supervision and modelling of homework and study will be necessary!

We're very flexible re the role - it's more important we find the right person and fit for our home. Some casual babysitting may also be required.
