The role would ideally be Monday to Thursday, approximately 9:30am–3:00pm, however we can be flexible with both days and hours for the right person.

Nanny wanted — Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, 9am–5pm — starting early February 2027.

We’re a young family in Brighton looking for a warm, reliable nanny to join us three days a week from the start of February.

You’d mainly be caring for our one-year-old — a happy, easygoing little one who’s a genuine delight to be around. Our three-year-old may also be home one day (subject to daycare availability), so at times it’d be both of them together.

These three days line up with the days one of us works part-time; the other works full-time. On most of them, one of us will be home working from home — so there’s a hand nearby if it’s ever truly needed.

Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. There may be some flexibility for the right person.

Rate: $30 (happy to pay cash)

Driving: Licence required but not expected to pick up any kids from daycare etc

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear a bit about you and have a chat. Thanks!

We are a warm and friendly family seeking a caring, experienced nanny for our lovely 16-month-old daughter while our regular nanny completes a university placement. We require care one day per week (ideally Tuesday or Wednesday), approximately 10am–2pm, from late September to mid-October, with the potential for a second day for the right person. Care will take place primarily in our home, with parks and a library within walking distance. We are looking for someone warm, gentle, reliable and genuinely engaged, with recent toddler experience, WWCC and references. Potential for ongoing work with baby number 2 expected in November.

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.

Nanny / Mother’s Helper Wanted – Albert Park 2027
We are a warm and busy family in Albert Park looking for an experienced nanny/mother’s helper to join us from late January/ February 2027.
This role would suit someone who is finishing with their current family at the end of the year and is looking for a long-term position with a caring household.
We’re starting our hunt early knowing we want to take our time in finding the right fit for our family, so seeking some expressions of interest.
We will have 3 children, who at the time will be:
• Boy, 3 years (attending a mix of daycare and kindergarten)
• Girl, 18 months (attending daycare 2 days per week)
• Baby girl, 3 months
We are looking for someone caring, proactive, calm, and confident with newborns and young children. Mum works from home part-time, attends appointments, and runs errands, so the role will be a mix of hands-on childcare and helping keep the household running smoothly.
Role Includes:
• Caring for 1–2 children at a time for most shifts
• Minimal times when caring for all 3 children together
• Newborn feeding, settling, and nap routines
• Engaging play and age-appropriate activities
• Light household duties including:
◦ Folding washing
◦ Keeping living areas tidy
◦ Kids meal prep
◦ Occasional family meal preparation
◦ Bonus if you enjoy baking!
Hours:
• 4 shifts per week
• 3–5 hours per shift (totalling approx 16 hours per week)
• Between 8am–6pm
• Consistent days each week, with shift times varying as kinder and nap schedules evolve
• Roster always provided at least 2 weeks in advance
• Opportunity for additional evening and weekend hours if desired
Pay & Requirements:
• Pay up to $45 per hour depending on experience
• Payment via nanny payroll app
• Childcare, nursing, or midwifery background highly regarded
• Must be experienced and confident caring for newborns
• All relevant checks required and must be provided (including Working With Children Check, Police Check, references, etc.)
We’d love someone who is organised, reliable, warm, and comfortable around dogs — we have a friendly family dog!
If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you. Please send through a little about yourself, your experience, availability, and references.

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.
