Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Forest Hill VIC

Hi, I’m Manoj (dad). We’re a friendly family of four — mum and dad, a 12‑year‑old daughter, and an 8‑year‑old son. I travel frequently for work, and my wife works part‑time on Thursdays and Fridays, so we’re looking for a caring babysitter specifically for those two days.
The role would involve coming to our home around 6:30 am, spending about two hours with the kids, and then dropping our son off at school by 8:30 am (it’s only a 5‑minute drive).
On average, I travel for about two weeks each month, so this won’t be every week — it’s a casual but longer‑term arrangement. We’re happy to pay $35–$40 per hour.
Cheers,
Manoj

We are a friendly family based in Glen Waverley looking for a reliable and caring babysitter to look after our two young children (aged 4 years old girl and 1 year old boy).

This is a regular weekly role on Sundays for 2–3 hours (approximately 2:00–5:00pm). Duties include supervising playtime, engaging the children in age-appropriate activities, and assisting with feeding, as well as ensuring their overall safety and comfort during the session, tidying up, and cleaning after play and eating.

We are looking for someone who is warm, patient, and experienced with young children. Ideally, you will be confident managing both a toddler and a preschooler.

Once the children become comfortable with you, there is potential for additional babysitting sessions during the week or evenings.

If you’re interested, we’d love to hear from you!

I need support with before school care and school drop offs! I have 2 beautiful boys aged 9 and 8. It can be anything from 2 days to 5 days per week. It depends from my work schedule.

Looking for a responsible female who can help out with early pickups from Surrey Hills Primary School and up to two hours caring for a 5 y 10m old boy. He is struggling with the full days of Prep and currently being assessed by a paediatrician for possible ADHD. He is very affectionate, intelligent, fun and high energy. Would be great if you could also do unexpected pickups when he’s not managing his day if his mum is unavailable.

We’re a relaxed but busy family looking for someone who can help us out Monday to Thursday (3-6:30pm) with our energetic boys (9 and 11yo) and sassy daughter (7yo). Must love sports, snacks and pretend play! Open to 2 or 3 days a week if we can find two suitable Nannies with complementary schedules. It would be great of you have your own car. We would be happy to support petrol costs. Also open to more hours if you need / want it!

Come in between 4 45 and 5 pm, bath and bed time routine: feeling solids, then bath and dress, then milk feed then play for a bit.
I will keep all food ready for you, also put baby in bed. As I do that, I need your help to tidy up kids play area and clean the kids dinner table.

We are after someone to look after our 3 month daughter for an hour or two 3 times a week. Monday , Wednesday and Fridays whilst my wife attends an appointment.

We are a family of four (from Camberwell) with two young children aged 2 and 4, plus a friendly small dog aged 10.

We’re looking for someone kind, reliable and proactive to help with the kids and general household tasks. This role would likely suit someone looking for some extra work alongside study, another job, or flexible casual hours.

Tasks may include:
- Playing with and entertaining the children, including setting up age-appropriate activities
- Assisting with morning routines (getting dressed, brushing teeth, hair, etc.)
- Helping navigate the occasional sibling disagreement!
- Assisting with preparing breakfast or dinner and encouraging the kids to help clean up afterwards
- Setting up the children’s bedrooms for bedtime
- Laundry and folding
- General tidying and household support
- Helping involve the children in pack-up and cleaning routines where possible
- Ad hoc household help such as unpacking the dishwasher or washing dishes

Please note:
We already have a regular cleaner and a robot vacuum, so no heavy-duty cleaning is required. However, we are looking for someone happy to help keep the household running smoothly alongside caring for the children. For example, if the children are out of the house during part of your shift, we would appreciate help with tidying toys, folding laundry, or resetting kids’ spaces.

Hours:
Exact hours are still being finalised, but shifts will likely include:
- Early mornings before kinder/daycare
- Evenings after we get home
- Possibly some daytime hours on Wednesdays and weekends

We’re flexible and happy to work around your availability, though some early morning or evening availability is essential. Shifts will generally be around 2–3 hours, with some longer occasional shifts on weekends and Wednesdays.

We’re hoping to find someone warm, engaging and comfortable juggling both children and light household support as part of family life.

Hi there,

I’m a single mum of three beautiful kids, currently looking for a reliable and caring babysitter to help with my two youngest daughters (aged 2.5 and 1.5) a couple of evenings each week.

This role is really about supporting our little family so I can spend some one-on-one time with my 7-year-old son, taking him to his footy training and being present for him during this new chapter.

Hours required:

* Tuesdays: 5:30pm – 7:30pm
* Thursdays: 4:30pm – 7:30pm
* Optional: Occasional Saturday (every second weekend) while I play a footy match

What the role involves:

* Assisting with dinner for the girls
* Bath time
* Putting them to bed (they’re usually down by 6pm 😊)
* Relaxing at the house until I return

Once the girls are asleep, it’s a very cruisy role—perfect for someone who enjoys a calm evening environment.

A little about us:
We’ve recently moved to the area, and my son has just started at a new primary school. We’re really focused on building strong community connections through school and sport. He currently plays for Upper Ferntree Gully, and these evenings are important for his confidence and sense of belonging.

I’d also love to return to playing in a women’s footy team myself, but at the moment, I need the right support in place for my girls to make that possible.

Who would suit this role:

* Someone warm, patient, and genuinely enjoys young children
* Confident managing a simple bedtime routine
* Reliable and consistent
* Bonus if you have experience with toddlers

This role would suit a uni student, nanny, or someone local looking for a consistent, low-stress evening position.

If this sounds like something you’d love to be part of, I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks so much,
Sam
