Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Gisborne VIC

Hi!

We’re a warm, easy-going family in Burnside Heights looking for a caring, reliable nanny to become an important part of our daughter’s life.

Our daughter will celebrate her first birthday in February, and we’re hoping to find someone who will become a trusted part of her world as she grows through these precious early years.

The Role
Location: Burnside Heights
Day: Preferably Friday, although there is some flexibility as we’re currently finalising our work schedules.
Hours: 8:00 am – 6:00 pm (10 guaranteed paid hours)

I’m planning to return to work one day per week from November, and we’d love to arrange a few casual sessions throughout October so everyone has the opportunity to get to know each other before regular care begins.

What our days look like

We love spending time:
* Library story time
* Local playgroups
* Parks and nature walks
* Reading books
* Music and singing
* Sensory and creative play
* Learning through everyday experiences

We’re looking for someone who enjoys being present with children, following their interests and creating a fun, nurturing day.

Your role

* Providing warm, responsive care for our daughter
* Preparing and serving her meals and snacks
* Following her sleep routine
* Drying and putting away her clothes
* If you’re comfortable with dogs, taking our friendly Cavoodle for a short walk with the pram

There is no general housework expected. We simply ask that our daughter’s needs come first and that you enjoy spending quality time together.

About us
We’re a warm, easy-going family. Mum is a Maternal & Child Health Nurse and Dad is a Physiotherapist, and we both have a strong interest in children’s health, development and wellbeing.

We value responsive, relationship-based care and see this as a partnership. We’d love to find someone who feels comfortable in our home and genuinely enjoys becoming part of our daughter’s world.

Please make yourself at home while you’re here. Help yourself to tea, coffee and lunch, and if you’re out enjoying story time, the park or a local café with our daughter, we’d love you to grab a coffee or a little treat while you’re out together, our shout.

Although the role is until 6:00 pm, we’ll often be home between 5:15-5:45pm, and if we’re home early, you’re welcome to finish then while still being paid until 6:00 pm.

What we’re looking for
* Warm, kind and patient
* Reliable and trustworthy
* Genuinely passionate about working with young children
* Great communication skills
* Current Working With Children Check
* Current First Aid & CPR (or willingness to obtain)
* Driver’s licence

Pay
* $28–30 per hour, depending on experience
* 10 guaranteed paid hours each week
* Regular pay reviews as the role develops

We’re not simply looking for someone to watch our daughter while we’re at work. We’re hoping to find a kind, dependable person who becomes a trusted part of her world—someone she feels excited to see each week, and someone who genuinely enjoys watching her learn, grow and discover the world.

If this sounds like the kind of role you’d love, we’d be delighted to hear from you. Please tell us a little about yourself, your experience, your current work or study, and what draws you to working with young children.

We look forward to meeting you!

Hi I need a babysitter once or twice a week at home to care for my 7 month baby and help with her food and basics. Hoping to find a caring babysitter who is good with babies.

Take care of my toddler Penelope (birthday 31/07/24) on any 3-4 weekdays per week for a limited period of time - 10 August until 11 September. Start and end times up for discussion, but preferred candidates will be available from 8:30am until 7pm. At our Moonee Ponds house.

Must like dogs - we have a cavoodle.

Penelope's middle-of-day nap is usually 2 hours-long. Household chores during this time eg vacuum/mop, laundry, cleaning up after meals, getting Penelope's next meal ready.

Flexibility is key because I may need more support (longer/extra days) if my husband is working late. Also flexibility in terms of juggling new baby and Penelope with me.

Must have an updated vaccination for whooping cough (pertussis).

If you are interested, please respond to this ad and include the following: whether you are available for at least 3-4 days per week, a little about yourself and your experiences in nanny positions, where in Melbourne you live and your phone number. I would love to give you a call and chat to you :)

Hello :)

My name is Carly, and my husband and I are seeking a nanny for one day per week, for our 14 month old boy.
I have recently returned to work part time with Thursdays being a day I work from home.
We are hoping to find a nanny who will come to our house and look after our bub for the day while I work. As I will be working from home on this day, I can assist with things like naps in the beginning while he adjusts.
A little bit about our boy, H: He is loving his new abity to walk and explore on his own.
He loves reading books, climbing, exploring outside, going to the park, dancing to music and walks in the pram.
He is screen free so we’d love for our nanny to come up with montessori style activities and games. However he is very content just hanging out at the park or building (destroying) lego towers.
H is currently on 1 nap most of the time (total day sleep around 2 hours) he’s usually rocked to sleep and goes down pretty easily.

The hours would be 9am - 5pm roughly, we can be slightly flexible on this.

You will ideally be feeding him lunch, so a small amount of clean up after this would be required.
During his naps, if there is any light housework such as hanging a load of his washing or tidying up toys, or making some snacks (basic muffins, for example) for him etc that would be appreciated.

We live in a small house in Seddon, with a very friendly cat.

Who we’re hoping to find: we’d love a friendly, confident nanny who’s had experience with babies/toddlers. Someone who will become a reliable and trusted person in our life, and a weekly bestie that H looks forward to seeing!

Any questions, please feel free to message me. Looking forward to hearing from you!
