Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Fawkner VIC

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.

We are looking for a casual babysitter to care for our 2.5 year old daughter once or twice a fortnight, likely on a Friday or Saturday evening or on Saturday/Sunday afternoons.

Our daughter is happy, independent and full of energy. She loves trips to the playground, tea parties with her teddies, drawing, stories and imaginative play.

We’re based in Fitzroy North, close to the high street and Edinburgh gardens, so there’s plenty within easy walking distance.

The role would include engaging her in play, preparing or heating up a simple dinner, managing bath time if needed, and handling bedtime (stories, settling and put-down).

We’re looking for someone experienced with toddlers, calm and attentive, and ideally available on an ongoing basis. If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you.

Self sufficient kids who need someone to care for them and run them around to sports after school three nights a week: Mon/Tues/Wed. Start asap preferred!

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.

A little bit about us:

Our little boy is a confident, kind, happy 6 year old who loves animals, trains, understanding his world and learning to be independent.
He is curious, asks lots of questions, hearing the answers, learning new things, telling you about them and loves mastering new tasks.
He understands himself well and is very good at advocating for himself, and he knows that we will listen to him and believe him. He loves music and singing to music.
He loves school and his friends at school.

We need this help as we both need to leave for work early however we are pretty engaged parents, with a lot of family support close by as well, and we’ll ensure that you are well supported and have everything you need to do this caregiving role well!

Our brand of parenting is one driven by best practice, data, reliable resources (raising children network, RCH guidelines, advice from GPs and other paediatric resources), principals that support children’s emotional wellbeing and the fundamental respect for a child’s space to grow, explore who they are, play, be silly, funny and cheeky and learn about their world!

We’re looking for someone who:
-has pro-social skills (Empathy, respect, kindness and gratitude) and because of these generally has positive interactions with others (a wordy way of saying you’re just generally a nice person!)
-understands and values being on the same side of children, and building a positive narrative around them.
-has a strong understanding and respect for the importance of body safe rules, child safe rules and safe adult rules.
-understands the importance of finding and giving them small opportunities frequently to succeed at things and celebrating these and them.
-genuinely sees children as equal, worthy and important individuals with autonomy and agency.
-ideally, has experience working with 6 year olds, and thus an approximate understanding of where a 6 year old is at developmentally and patience for what they can and cannot do.

It's are based in Rosanna with two girls age 10 and 14 and are looking for a babysitter to help out two days a week from 3:30pm until 6:30pm on Mondays and Tuesdays with school pick up, organising kids dinners and taking them to extra mural activities. WWCC and drivers licence with car is essential.

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 looking for a caring and reliable person to help us with afterschool care of our 5 year old daughter, who attends school within walking distance from our house. We also have a 2 year old daughter who attends childcare a short car drive away, and occasionally we may require you to collect her as well.

The role would involve collecting our daughter from school, playing with her and preparing dinner for the kids. We would also appreciate someone who is happy to take the initiative with some light housework (e.g. empty dishwasher, hang and fold washing, pick up toys, clean out lunch boxes etc)

Our 5 year old is an energetic, inquisitive girl who loves craft, books, singing and dancing. We live opposite a beautiful park and she enjoys running and playing at the playground there. Our 2 year old is a very happy little girl who loves her food and her big sister!

We have a very friendly miniature schnoodle, so being comfortable around dogs is a must.

Looking to start with 2-3 days per week, this may increase as year goes on (we are flexible with days). Hours would be 3pm start and finishing around 6pm. Likely to be extra hours during school holidays and when mum and dad need a babysitter for the rare date night.

Any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

We are looking for a regular babysitter to help look after our children aged 3, 6 and 8. We have two loving German Shepherds so dog lovers would be great. We are an easy going family that really needs some help.

Look forward to hearing from you.
