Hi,

I'm looking for someone to babysit my two kids, James (8) and Emmy (11) from 5 - 10pm on Tuesday 9th June. We're based in Brunswick and will need someone to manage bath and bedtime while we pop out for dinner.

My husband and i also have to travel for work quite regularly so, if you had occasional availability to help with school pick up and drop off, it would be great. The kids attend school in Ascot Vale so we are looking for someone who can drive.

James has an ASD diagnosis so experience of working with the kids who need a bit of extra support would also be great.

Thanks!

Hi there,

We are currently looking for a nanny for our three boys, who are aged 16 (Year 11), 12 (Year 6) and 9 (Year 4). As both of us are working parents, we are primarily looking for someone from 2pm/3pm through to 6-7pm on weekdays.

The role involved giving our dog a walk, picking the boys up from school, bringing them to their after school activities, housework (hanging up laundry and folding laundry, clearing/stacking dishwasher), and (depending on when you need to leave) preparing and starting off dinner for the boys.

The rates are negotiable based on merit and experience. If our family and the role sounds like a good match for you, we would love to hear from you!

Regards,
Mei & Dean

Looking for a child care educator/babysitter to provide care for children while parents play football and attend training. Located on Park St, Brunswick, in club rooms with some children’s toys provided.

Ongoing opportunity and will occasionally be working with other carers depending on numbers attending.

Hello, we are looking for a regular part time nanny for two days a week on a Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday (ideally Monday + Tuesday). Next year, we might like to expand that to also include school pick up and drop offs a few days as well (but that would be TBD).

We have a two year old and a five year old. Our house is large and rambling, we are free range and messy play. We like adventure, building fires, going to the zoo, making slime, cooking, museums, you name it.

We're after someone who has the energy and inclination to play with the kids all day. Come up with activities, take them out, go do stuff. We've got a good house for it, but the kids largely need to be taken out each day as well, otherwise they get a bit stir crazy.

We do have some house rules that don't suit everyone. We are strictly screen free - no scrolling in front of the kids, no phones out, we'd expect it to be in your bag the whole day. The kids don't have to eat if they don't want to - we don't monitor or praise food, if they're hungry they can eat what we can offer, if they're not, they don't.

We'd also expect you to be able to be honest and communicate openly with us. If you aren't sure, ask. If something isn't working, tell us. Etc :) We will be WFH upstairs on the days you are with them.

We live in Coburg, a 5 minute walk from Coburg train station, and an 8 minute walk from Sydney road.

My name is Sarah and I live with my partner and 2 boys in Hawthorn East (3yo and 4mo). I am looking for care for my 4 month old, primarily on Wednesday afternoons, but with the potential for more work in future, as I slowly return to work post maternity leave. I would love to organise a meeting if this type of work is of interest. Cheers, Sarah

We are looking for someone warm, calm and proactive to support me with our 2 year old daughter 2–3 days per week for around 6 hour days, as we have recently welcomed a newborn into our family.

We’re hoping to find someone who enjoys imaginative play, nature, rhythm and creating a gentle home atmosphere. We lean a little Steiner/Waldorf in our parenting style and value calm, connection and a slower pace to the day.

Our daughter is currently toilet learning, so we’re looking for someone who is comfortable gently supporting and reminding her with using the toilet.

We’re also looking for someone who is comfortable with me being around at times, and who would enjoy coming along on solo or accompanied outings such as galleries, Collingwood Children’s Farm, light bush walks and our Steiner playgroup.

We would love someone nurturing, reliable and genuinely engaged with young children. Experience with toddlers and an interest in play-based care would be wonderful.

Please reach out if this sounds like a good fit for you. Flexible with start date

I'm looking for a nanny in or around SOUTH YARRA to take twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday): You will need to change, feed, and take them to childcare 5 minutes away, which takes less than 1 hour, between 7-9am in the morning, and on also to collect them from childcare in the evening for 2 hours (6-8pm), and wash/change/feed them before bedtime. In addition, 6 hours during the day on Saturday or Sunday (e.g., 12-6pm).
You should have experience caring for infants; be friendly, warm, and nurturing; understand infants' needs; have good command of English; and perform light house duties and cooking basic food for the kids.
Given nannies conflicting schedules, the job is likely to be divided amongst 2 nannies, each doing 2 days (morning and evening) and one day on the weekend.
Please contact me to discuss.
Thanks,
Ilan
