I'm after a regular sitter for my son, 11. One or two afternoons a week (flexible on which days), about 3.30 to 6.30 or 7pm, plus the occasional weekend.

He's auADHD but he's pretty independent, so it's an easy gig. He's a smart, funny kid who loves gaming and fun facts, and he has a special interest that changes week to week. Chess for a while, then golf, then table tennis, rock climbing, boxing ...you get the picture. You'd want to be someone who's happy to join in on whatever the current thing is.

If you're into gaming or full of random facts yourself, or have a special interest activity you two will get along.

He's been having his afternoons to himself lately and quite likes it, so part of the job is getting him off screens and doing stuff together. He'd game all afternoon if nobody stopped him.

Day to day it's pretty simple: hang out with him, make him some dinner, tidy the kitchen after.

If you've spent time around neurodivergent kids through work, family or your own experience, that's a big plus. He also has NDIS community participation funding, so if you're a qualified support worker or have an ABN activities and outings can be billed at support rates.

I'm a solo parent looking for someone ongoing and reliable, ideally a familiar face he ends up looking forward to.

If that sounds like you, tell me a bit about yourself and what days you're free.

Hello!

We are a family in Alphington with two boys aged 4.5 and 7.5.

We are looking for an experienced, energetic and reliable nanny to join our family for the long term, starting Friday 18 September 2026.

Looking for one full day a week, on Fridays 730am to 6pm. Drop off and pick up for the big boy at the nearby school and looking after the 4 year old in the day. You will do dinner and bath before we get home about 6pm. Some help with laundry during the day would be amazing too when possible.

In addition to one regular day, a few extra casual days and nights will very likely pop up here and there.

Rate is $35-38, negotiable based on experience.

We have had our current beloved nanny for nearly 2 years and she would be happy to chat to you about the role. Sadly she is leaving to go travelling so we need to find a replacement.

We would love to hear from you.

Hello!

We’ve recently relocated from the Surf Coast to Melbourne and are looking for a wonderful part-time nanny to become part of our family and help care for our two daughters, aged 4 and 7.

Tuesdays | 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Our eldest will need to be dropped off at school in the morning, after which you'll spend the day with our youngest. We'd love someone who enjoys creating fun, engaging days—whether that's arts and crafts at home, trips to the museum or library, playground adventures, or other age-appropriate activities.

In the afternoon, you'll collect our eldest from school, prepare dinner for the girls, and finish around 5:00 pm.

Thursdays | 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm
You'll begin by giving the house a light tidy and preparing dinner for the girls. Once we bring them home from sport, we'd love you to help with dinner, bath time, and the bedtime routine. Thursday is our regular date night, so we'll be home by around 8:00 pm.

We're also likely to offer extra hours to assist with our social schedules on weekend every now and then

About You
We're looking for someone who is:

Warm, caring and genuinely enjoys spending time with children.
Fun, energetic and playful, with plenty of initiative.
Happy to help with light household tasks related to the children, and happy to cook meals.
A confident driver with a current driver's licence.
Reliable, organised and looking for a long-term role with a lovely family.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you and learn a little about your experience and why you think you'd be a great fit for our family.

We're after a nanny/babysitter for our kids on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The mornings would be 7am to 10am — getting the kids up and ready for school, dropping them off, plus a few household bits like a load of laundry, dinner prep and a tidy up. Then evenings 3pm to 6pm for pick-ups, extra-curricular activities, homework help and getting dinner started.

Our kids are 14, 11 and 7, and they're all at different schools at the moment, so the logistics are a big part of where we need help.

Hi, our daughter is 2.5 years old and we now require an experienced, energetic, caring and extroverted nanny (who is at least 21 years old) every week on Thursday and Friday from 12 - 4.30. Its very important to be talkative and playful as she feels more comfortable with such personalities. We prefer a good history of nannying alongside having first aid certificate, police check, working with children check and references. We are based in Kew and will, of course, take the time to explain and be around you to help build an easy going routine and comfort between our daughter and you.
Rate - $40 per hour. Appreciate your time, thank you.

Hi lovely people 👋 I'm looking for someone to help me out on school mornings and I thought I'd try here before going anywhere else.

I need a family assistant — someone experienced, reliable and a driver — to come to our home from 7–10am on weekdays when I have my kids (we run on an 8/6 custody rotation so it's not every week).

The role is pretty simple: help get the kids out the door with lunches packed and uniforms sorted, tidy up once they've left, and handle things like grocery runs and keeping the house stocked. The kind of person who notices we're out of eggs or that the firewood is running low — without needing to be told.

Kids are school-aged and independent, so this isn't a childcare role. I'm just looking for someone switched-on and trustworthy who knows how a family home runs.

Additional casual work after school and on weekends

After school help needed - pick up in South Yarra and drop off at Hawthorn East, help 10 year old boy with homework.

Loking for a part time regular nanny to help with our 3 kids (7, 4, 2). We'd love to engage someone who can be with the kids regularly and hopefully for a while for continuity.

At this stage, I'm looking for regular afternoon/evening work on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, ideally some groceries/food prep and potentially some light household chores. Then kinder/school pick up and activities, and some play before dinner!

I'm also hoping for a longer day on Thursdays for my younger two - with daytime outings/playground etc

I'd love to chat more if those days/times suit you! We're flexible with hours, hourly rates etc for the right fit!

Cheers
Hannah and John
