Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Essendon North VIC

Hi I am looking for a reliable babysitter for occasional
Weekends but pick up from
School

Hi there! We have 2 wonderful easy going primary school aged boys (6 & 9) needing a caring, friendly, reliable person to look after them. Usually Friday from afterschool to late evening or Sat evening for a few hours. The boys are well behaved, very easy to put to bed and follow their routines. I can arrange food, so no need to cook or prepare meals, close to public transport, would be good to have some light supervision reading or homework/educational activities before bed. Casual to start with, could be ongoing weekly after.

We are based in Keilor East and are currently looking for a babysitter on Tuesdays and Thursdays for my little one from April this year when I return to work. She will be 4 months old by then and is an absolute cutie. We also have a 4-year-old cavoodle whom we have minimised contact with bub for now due to her age and possible unpredictable behaviour from the dog around bub.

A valid police check and Working With Children Check is required

Attributes I am looking for:
- Caring
- Patient
- Excellent with babies and pets
- Good communication skills
- Reliable and trustworthy

If this is you, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to hearing from you!

Our lovely baby sitter has moved so we’re seeking a reliable, local babysitter to assist with daycare and school pickup during the week. We live in Pascoe Vale and have two Swaussie (Swedish/Aussie) girls, aged 3 and 6. They enjoy going to the park, animals (we have an elderly dog and a cat), arts and crafts, reading books, and dancing. They’re very entertaining and enjoyable to be around, though they do have occasional meltdowns when it’s time to leave the park. We’re always happy to help if that happens if you struggle. :)

The role involves picking them up at 3 pm from daycare or school two days a week (we can be flexible with it being Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday). You’ll most likely take them to the park for a hour before we arrive home around 5 pm. They enjoy outdoor activities, but we only have a small yard, so visiting the park is ideal.

We’re looking for a local 20+ female who is confident, creative, active, playful, honest, safety-minded, reliable, and positive. A personal car is necessary for this role, as the school is about a 10-minute drive from our house. We’ll provide the car seats, but ideally, you’d be comfortable having them in most weeks (we’re happy to reinstall them every once in a while).

We want our kids to get the most out of their childhood, especially through play, and hope to find someone who can help facilitate that. We’ll pay a casual rate and you’ll need insurance. We’ll ask you to keep phone use to a minimum when you’re with the kids. Besides than that we’re pretty flexible and easy going. We’d hope you could commit to about a year if we’re a good fit. Our previous babysitter is happy to be a reference for us.

Hey all. We're looking for a nanny in Pascoe Vale 1-2 times a week. We have a 6 year old, 3 year old and a 2 year old old although at least one of them is usually not around due to kinder or school.
We are flexible on days and times at this stage so it could be a good opportunity for you to let us know your ideal availability and we can hopefully work something out. ideally we are looking for support for 4 hour shifts, on 1-2 times a week during the morning or day time.
Pay rate is $50 / hour. When responding please message me info on your previous experiences and how that worked, where you are located and your ideal availability times. Thanks!

We are looking for a mature, experienced Nanny for our 14mo daughter.

For 3 afternoons per week (1-5pm). M, W, F
I'll be WFH in office.

The right Nanny will provide high-quality care and be reliable, organised, friendly, warm, and attentive. They will maintain a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment.

Role is available for immediate start.

I am looking for a caring and reliable babysitter for my 8 year old daughter, who has travelled the world, and is very sophisticated for her age. She is also at times very strong headed. So, a babysitter in early 20’s range, in my opinion, always works best for her, as she relates better to this age group.

I am currently a single mum while living in Melbourne, and my daughter and I have recently relocated from New York. I grew up here, and am currently enrolled in university in the city. I am hoping to find someone kind, dependable, and consistent who can become an important part of our support system.

The position will begin on Thursday, February 19. It will involve getting my daughter ready for school, dropping her off at Fitzroy North Primary in the morning, and picking her up after school. This schedule must remain consistent for 12 weeks, finishing on Thursday, May 7. These days and times are essential, due to my classes, and that I anm unable to do school drop off or pickup myself on Thursdays. I would like to arrange a paid trial first to make sure it is a good fit for everyone.

Beyond this, I am also looking for someone who may be available at other times on various days during the week. This part of the role would be more flexible rather than on a fixed schedule. We can work out what suits both of us if it feels like the right fit.

Must have experience, and references that can be provided, and preferably close by to Fitzroy where we currently live.

Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.
