We are a family of four, looking for an experienced infant nanny for TWO weekdays (can be flexible which days) per week of care for our baby daughter. She will be approximately six months old at the time of commencement in mid May 2025 - to support mother's return to work. Our eldest daughter is five years old and attends a local primary school - pick up from school by nanny not essential but would be helpful to have as a back up. We also have an eight year old greyhound who is very placid and sleeps all day.
Hours are also somewhat flexible but need to cover at least between 8:15am and 5pm on both days. We are ideally looking for someone who can commit to the position for at least 12 months.
We would also like to ensure that there can be a 1-2 week period of shadowing prior to mother's return to work on 26th of May.
Up-to-date first aid qualifications, WWCC, non-smoker and driver's license are a must for us.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Hi, we are looking for someone to care for our 3 children aged 8-10. This will include taking to school and collecting, and any sport training after school (all within 3km from house)
With our two boys now in Grade 2 and 5, we are looking for a superstar house-helper, somewhere between a housekeeper and a nanny.
After collecting the children from school/sport, main duties would be folding washing, preparing evening meal, perhaps a bit of ironing or prepping lunchbox snacks or some local errands. The boys have their own chores to help contribute, and need an adult nearby to ask, should they need help with homework but otherwise are pretty self-sufficient.
If you enjoy having well behaved (almost always!) kids around for company but are a clean machine and enjoy keeping a tidy home, we would love to hear from you. Pay and hours negotiable for the right person.
I am looking for someone who is looking for a long term position to help with my 2 girls. I Need help to pick up my 13 year old early from school and take to her to her gymnastics. Return to our home and help with some light housework and some cooking. I then need help making sure she has dinner, does her homework and in bed at right time.
I need someone who can commit to each week and is very relatable to teens but can also be firm
in a kind and loving way when needed. I have 2 girls age 13 and 16 and a son who is 21.
Hours would be Monday 2:30-5:30pm and Tuesday 2:30-9pm.
The job involves cooking some meals and helping to hang and fold washing and making sure kitchen clean when finished.
We would love someone to become part of our family , someone we can trust to leave our girls with if we need to travel as well.
We're looking for our next Mary Poppins to join our family and care for our cutie pies while I'm working mostly from home. We're open to full or part time nannies so if you're available for part or all of the week send us a message!
Here's our situation:
- McKinnon/Bentleigh/Ormond area (3204)
- We’re looking for a permanent nanny who’ll click with our whole family. Hours would mostly be within 9-5, Mon-Fri
- 3 littlies: 4yo girl, 3yo girl and 1yo boy - we're biased but we think they're hilarious and cute little monsters
- No weekends or after hours work required
Here are the details (i.e. I’m slightly OCD) so if you’re half a chance so far, please read on.
Us:
We're a family with 3 kids - a 4 1/2yo girl who's at kinder 2 days a week (Mon & Wed), a 3yo girl, and 1 1/2yo boy.
- The girls are quite into their arts and crafts, currently obsessed with playing mums & dads, and love dress ups, and our little man is a super chilled toddler who fits into what we’re up to and is starting to have his own adorable personality, loves magnetic tiles, his footy, throwing a ball and loves dancing.
- The kids all love all the crafts, painting, play dough, sensory activities, bike rides, pram walks, picnics, playground time… so much playground time…, collecting flowers, leaves, sticks (that all stay outside), boardgames, puzzles, and heaps of other activities we have ready to go at home.
- We also have two dogs - small and medium fluff balls with big personalities who love pats.
- Dad works full time usually at the office, I work mostly from home, very occasionally go to the office meaning I'll very much be present while you’re here, and therefore am available for quick help, questions, etc. but I do need to actually work.
Our Mary Poppins:
- Has the standard checks: WWCC, Police Check, First Aid, reliable transport to our home, a licence and comfortable driving a big car to take kids to activities (swimming/ballet/kinder).
- Is comfortable with dogs: as mentioned we have 2 dogs who are very much a part of and involved with the family and will be all over you (they’re annoyingly friendly but zero danger).
- Is responsible, punctual and professional, experienced, easy going, and clean (there's that OCD) who can be present with them and can get the kids comfortable with you quickly. Can also be generally helpful to me and hands on with stuff like unpacking shopping, folding/putting away laundry etc.
- Is competent in the kitchen and able to help with light cleaning mostly after the kids (usually organising their space or making sure the place is back to normal). You'll need to prep lunches and a couple of small snacks and work around a nap for either one or 2 of them during the day, which is usually pretty consistent.
- Is really great at kids baths. Especially getting them out of it, moisturised and hair dried and done up!
- Can entertain the kids (no TV plonking); walks, going out to the park, playground, babycino cafe trips, ride/scooter, local community events, inside games, loves reading, playing, painting, crafting, making forts etc. etc.
- Can educate them - the older ones especially are at the stage where they're learning to read/write/count/learn days etc, we'd very much like to see them continue to progress with this.
- Be ok with them being sick. Given they don't go to childcare, they don't get as sick as many kids who do, but still be prepared for the occasional snotty nose or three.
- Generally be awesome with them/don’t turn out to be a psycho kidnapper.
Rate is negotiable based on experience, and to just to be upfront, we'd likely preference somebody a little more experienced at this stage. We've been through a few nannies and can now definitely tell when someone clicks with our family.
I’ve deliberately been pretty detailed so that if our unicorn nanny is reading and nodding along to all points so far, it’s probably a good sign. So if you’re interested please comment with an age/experience/expected rate, and we’ll message suitable candidates for more detail.
Thanks for playing along, looking forward to hearing from our future Mary Poppins.

We both work full time. Our daughter is at kindergarten and our Son is at home.
We are looking for aN experienced, fun loving nanny who loves kids and gets joy from seeing them laugh, learn and grow. Ideally someone trained in early childhood and experienced in supporting the development of young ones.
The role includes preparing breakfast for kids, getting them ready for the day, dropping off and picking up our daughter from kindergarten (700m down the road) and taking care of our Son (feeding, playing, putting to sleep for nap, taking out for outings to library, park, playgroups and classes). Other duties include preparing kids meals, packing Kindergarten lunchbox, laundry, unstacking and stacking dishwasher/keeping kitchen clean and tidy, keeping lounge room and kids rooms tidy (picking up toys etc).

We have a car for you to use with the kids.
We value our nanny/'s so much. We don't have any family support in Melbourne so you're really a big part of our lives and the reason we can work and enjoy a beautiful family at the same time.

My name is Natalia and I have an 8 year old son. He has autism but is high functioning. He is a beautiful sweet natured little boy and is in grade 2. He loves trains, Harry Potter and building lego. My son finds attending Oosh (before and after school care at his school) overwhelming. Therefore I have received funding for someone to come Mon, Wed and Thurs 730 to 9 am and 330 to 530 pm. Must drive and have own car as it would involve taking him to and from school. I would pay petrol costs. Given he is eligible for funding the person must has an early child care qualification inc cert 3 in early childcare or currently studying it. If you do not hold this or working towards it I can’t hire you as funding criteria is strict about that. It should be relatively easy. He would be dressed and had breakfast before you arrive. It would involved playing with him, in the morning for a bit, then take him to school where he will unpack his own bag and hand over to a teacher when the bell goes at 855. In the afternoon it would be giving him a snack (he tends to eat his leftover lunch) and he does a bit of reading. I work in a school and am often home by 430 you can have an early mark and I would still pay you until 530. Please message me if interested

Hi, I'm looking for a babysitter on Friday afternoons from 2-5pm. My son is an energetic 3 year old and my daughter is a bubbly 16month old. I will be working from home on Friday afternoons and am looking for some support with the two kids!!
I am looking for a reliable casual carer who can occasionally pick my 3 children up from school or after school care. There will be some evenings where they will need to be taken to activities and some cooking required occasionally.
Hello! We are a family of three and would like to find someone to look after our almost two year old Luna, two times a week preferably in the mornings from 8am until she goes to bed around 12pm on Mondays and Thursdays. These days are flexible slightly if someone is the right fit and these days don’t suit. We would also like Luna’s nanny to be free occasionally on either a Saturday or Sunday, once every 6 weeks.
Luna loves books, walking, running, playing at the park, using her bike and scooter, drawing, stickers, puzzles, blocks, and engaging with other kids. She is a delight to look after and has a tonne of personality. Luna’s snacks and meals will be all prepared for her and ready in the fridge.
We are looking for a nanny for one day a week from around the 1st of April, for our son Zayn. He is currently 10.5 months old and will be close to one by then.
We are first time parents that are navigating our return to work and planning on sending our son to day care for three days a week, but looking to balance that out with a day at home with a Nanny (either Monday or Thursday). It will be a full day of work (7-9 hours) which will involve a typical routine for a 1 year old - meals, playtime, naps, and a milk feed or two.
In terms of other info, we live in Highett and have a groodle named Alfie. He is a really good dog and mostly tends to keep to himself. We won’t have a lot of work around the house, and are open to being flexible on that.
Also, it would be ideal for us to find someone that can take this on for atleast 6 months as we are looking for something more long term to allow Zayn to adjust into a routine and be comfortable with a carer.
Our son is an energetic cheeky little bub that loves to play and is pretty quick to warm up to new people. If this job is of interest to you, please reach out and we would be happy to share more information.
