Looking for an English-speaking nanny for my 9-year-old son.

My son is Russian and has just started school in Melbourne. He speaks very little English, so I’m looking for someone to help him learn to understand and speak English through everyday communication.

After school, spend time with him: go for walks, play, talk, read, do simple activities, or cook together.

He is an active, kind boy who loves soccer, badminton, running, climbing, cooking, and helping in the kitchen.

If you have experience with children and enjoy spending time with them, please send me a message.



Thanks, Anya!

We are a family in Glen Iris, looking for a babysitter on Tuesday and Thursday (3pm to 6pm). Duties will include picking up 11 year old, 8 year old and 5 year old from 3 different schools and driving the children to after school activities. The role may require the occasional Friday after school shift as well. We are looking for someone with a reliable car, who is active and loves playing with children.

My name is Kate and I am looking for a part time nanny to look after my son. Starting in October, we would be looking for someone 2 days a week, 8am until 2pm with the opportunity to increase and also adhoc babysitting. He will be 8 months old. We also have a golden retriever who is very friendly who would also be around but needs only a few pats here and there to keep him happy. Let me know if this is of interest to you.

Thanks,

Hi everyone! We are a blended family of 5 (Ash, Matt, Maxi, Lily & Harper) living in Malvern East.

We are looking for a experienced full time nanny to care for our two daughters Lily (age 4) and Harper (age 3).

Duties will include - light house work (laundry, dishes, general tidy and meal prep), driving the kids to their lessons and activities as well as planning activities for the kida to do at home and out.

We need someone to take the mental load of us so we can go to work and you can run the kids schedules and our home while we are away.

Essentials: puntuality, flexibility, reliability, organisation skills, multitasking and experience with children ages 3, 4 and 5.

On a rarer occasion our son Max will be with us (once a week). He has a rare genetic disorder so a interest or experience with neurodivergence would be great but not essential.

Hi, I’m looking for a warm, bubbly, and patient carer with experience in disability. We have a gorgeous neurodivergent boy (autistic/ADHD/Intellectual Disability) who is 7 and developmentally around 2 years old. He is nonspeaking, very active, and has a lovely happy temperament. He loves any movement-based activities to keep him entertained and regulated. So you need to be fit! He is also very quick so needs to be shadowed constantly. The right person will be someone who doesn’t mind being on their feet all the time - as my boy runs around constantly and requires long walks in the pram each day.
We are looking for someone who is available Mondays & Wednesdays after school (3-7pm) and who might be able to pick up either Saturday or Sunday from October. The role involves picking my son up from school, feeding, supervising and playing with him at home, taking him out to the park, nappy changes, and bath time. He has no sense of danger so does require us to be constantly supervising to keep him safe. This role will require having a reliable car.

Please feel free to ask any questions at all!
