How are you ?!
I am looking for a babysitter who can really engage with my kids who are 5 and 8.
They have vastly different personalities so you need to be able to speak with them and engage with them differently , creatively and compassionately and sometimes be a mediator ! It will really come down to how well you can interact with them and really how much they gravitate towards you.
Everything else that I would require is the standard police check , wwc , driving , responsibility and safety etc etc !
At the moment it is casual work moving into the holidays and then it’ll be regular !
Look forward to chatting if you’re free, available and willing to!
Our daughter is 7 years old and a bit of a legend. She loves dinosaurs, imaginary games, art and soccer. She’s funny, energetic, a gorgeous person… and yes, we may be her biggest fan.
We are looking for a babysitter/nanny to help with between two and four days pick up after school. We’d also love some help when the school holidays roll around. Our daughter goes to school in Kew, and we have a lovely home in Surrey Hills. Some days she has activities like tennis at the local tennis club, and other days we’re happy for you to come home together and explore (along with the odd bit of homework).
We want to partner with someone who shares our daughter's passions and energy. We leave the tv off and world around us turned up. We welcome exposure to things like science experiments, museums and galleries, particularly on the holidays.
You’ll need a car to pick her up too.
We would like to find someone who can help for at least a few years so we can form a partnership together.
Schedule: Tuesdays & Thursdays, 3:00 PM - 6:30 PM (during term time only, not required over school holidays)
Location: Glen Iris
Starting in term 2, 2025. We’re looking for a caring and reliable nanny to care for our two boys (8 & 11) after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Duties include organising afternoon tea, driving to after-school activities, supervising homework, and preparing light meals.
Requirements:
Experience with children (late primary age preferred)
Own car preferred & clean driving record
Able to help with homework and light meal prep
Trustworthy, punctual and friendly
We're Ali and Alexei and we're hoping to find someone to help us on Mondays to take care of our two boys. Our eldest, Luca, is 3 and our youngest, Remy, is 1 and 4 months. Ali has been taking care of the boys every Monday but sadly recently was in a car accident that meant her leg is now broken and will need help every Monday with the boys. We're also looking at the possibility of getting a babysitter on additional days in case Luca wants to transition to preschool from daycare in which case there'll be at least two further afternoons of work however that can all be discussed with the possible candidate :) At the moment we'd be hoping to get someone who could work 9am to either 5pm or 6pm every Monday.
Luca is a rambunctious, imaginative, very spirited but loving child who will be your best friend in rapid time if you're willing to go along with his shenanigans and love of whatever has taken his fancy that week. Remy is a happy, easy-go-lucky and loving little baby who warms to people quite quickly and generally loves to be taken on adventures with his big brother, whether it's just to the yard or to the nearby park. We've got a reasonably sized house, an overabundance of toys and a very big front and back-yard as well as garage that's been turned into a playspace for the kids to play in. We're not fussed about cooking or cleaning and really just need someone to be there for the boys :) Also worth noting that Luca is an exceptionally fussy eater so cooking is a bit of a lost cause for him.
If you have any questions at all about the job, please don't hesitate to ask :)

We are a family of three, soon to be four (baby boy arriving mid-May) living in north Brighton (we are a four minute walk from Gardenvale station). Mum is a tax lawyer taking an extended career break and dad is a busy plastic surgeon. We are looking for a caring, responsible and reliable babysitter / mother’s helper to help out with our six year old high-functioning neurodiverse son on Monday and Tuesday mornings (6:45-10:45am), and the new baby when required.

No heavy cleaning or housework is required as we have weekly cleaners.

Hi, I am a single mum to one energetic 8 Years Old daughter. We are currently residing in the Burwood area but moving back to Doncaster towards end of April. I am after a reliable babysitter/nanny who is flexible and can do school drop offs/pick ups and assist with her homework and other extracurricular activities as required. I work late on Tuesday and Wednesday (till 8pm) so need someone willing to babysit my daughter until then. If you think you are suitable please drop me a line, thank you.
Seeking babysitter for weeknight evenings, if you can also do a few Saturday mornings that'd be wonderful but not essential. Somewhat flexible on days/hours.

Ideally you will work Thursday and/or Tuesday evenings, 5 - 7:30 with no housework, or if you're willing to do light housework 3:45 - 7:15.
If you are interested in doing housework, it will be mostly: packing away toys, vacuum living/play areas, occasional laundry folding/pack, wipe down kitchen, wipe flat surfaces/mirrors, no heavy cleaning since we have a regular cleaner. But with two boys the house always gets messy.
We live 10min walk from Gardenvale station.
