Hi
I live in Brighton with my husband and 3 little kids. I have a 5yo girl, 3yo boy and 1.5 yo girl. Our last nanny/babysitter (who has been with us since our eldest was 1) has just moved home so we are currently looking for someone to help out with our family!
My husband works quite long hours and I am home full time the kids. I often need a bit of help throughout the week as he travels a lot!
So mostly looking for someone to come and play with them and keep them entertained - Eg going to the park, going for walks, playing at home, occasional cooking (kids meals), art and craft etc! The eldest two go to kindy on Tuesday Thursdays and Fridays so if available on either of those days it would just be looking after the youngest so I can duck out do some food shopping / errands etc.
We are also definitely looking for night time weekend work too
I’m very flexible as I’m not working at the moment so can do just a few hours, half days / longer days etc
Our nanny would also travel a lot with us to help out on holidays and or house sit while we go away if that is something you're interested in
Happy to answer any further questions!
I am looking for a nanny to help and pick up 2-3x a week (3-6pm). There would be some light household tasks as well eg. preparing dinner for the children, unpacking the dishwasher, folding washing. We have 2 children (girl who is 10.5 son who is 6 ). We are after someone who can keep to our routine, is very tidy and calm. We would like someone who is local (ie. within 5km of Hawthorn East). Having a licence and confidence driving is critical. Ability to help with homework and experience with neurodivergent children looked upon favourably.
We’re looking for a kind, reliable, and engaging nanny to support our family in Caulfield with aftercare for our two young daughters—Lara (5) who is in upper kindergarten and Mia (2 years, 10 months) who is in pre-kindergarten.
Days: Tuesdays & Thursdays
Hours: 4:30pm – 7:30pm (with potential to increase to 3 days/week)
Start Date: From 28th April onwards
About Us:
We’re a warm, easygoing family who value connection, calm, and consistency. Lara is bright, creative, and loves being involved in activities—she thrives on attention and enjoys being a little helper. Mia is sweet, affectionate, and a little more reserved; she’s happiest with a gentle presence nearby and a predictable routine. Please note Mia is still in nappies whilst Lara is fully toilet trained and goes independently.
Key Responsibilities:
• Possible pickup of Mia from childcare in Elsternwick
• Preparing simple, nutritious dinners for the girls
• Bath and bedtime routines (eg. Reading books)
• Engaging with the girls through play, reading, or quiet downtime activities
• Keeping the evening relaxed, positive, and structured
We’re looking for someone with a nurturing approach, who understands the needs of little ones, and can create a calm and enjoyable end to their day. Prior experience with young children and a driver’s license (if pick-up is needed) would be ideal.
We’d love to hear from you if this sounds like a fit!
Hi, looking for help on school pick up, afternoon, dinner, bath, bed routine and some light housework. Usually Tuesday and/or Thursday. 2 happy fun kids - 3YO and 6YO. 2 mostly happy, working and multitasking parents...
Seeking babysitter for weeknight evenings, if you can also do a few Saturday mornings that'd be wonderful but not essential. Somewhat flexible on days/hours.
Caring for two boys, 5 & 7: play, dinner (ready to eat), bedtime routine (no bath, just pj's and brush teeth) etc. Very easy and mostly they play independently or do homework, you will simply keep an eye on them while hubby and I work - we will be around for any q's etc.
Ideally you will work Thursday and/or Tuesday evenings, 5 - 7:30 with no housework, or if you're willing to do light housework 3:45 - 7:15.
If you are interested in doing housework, it will be mostly: packing away toys, vacuum living/play areas, occasional laundry folding/pack, wipe down kitchen, wipe flat surfaces/mirrors, no heavy cleaning since we have a regular cleaner. But with two boys the house always gets messy.
We live 10min walk from Gardenvale station.
Please respond with: your preferred days, your hourly rate, a bit about yourself.

How are you ?!
I am looking for a babysitter who can really engage with my kids who are 5 and 8.
They have vastly different personalities so you need to be able to speak with them and engage with them differently , creatively and compassionately and sometimes be a mediator ! It will really come down to how well you can interact with them and really how much they gravitate towards you.
Everything else that I would require is the standard police check , wwc , driving , responsibility and safety etc etc !
At the moment it is casual work moving into the holidays and then it’ll be regular !
Look forward to chatting if you’re free, available and willing to!
We are a family of four, looking for an experienced infant nanny for TWO weekdays (can be flexible which days) per week of care for our baby daughter. She will be approximately six months old at the time of commencement in mid May 2025 - to support mother's return to work. Our eldest daughter is five years old and attends a local primary school - pick up from school by nanny not essential but would be helpful to have as a back up. We also have an eight year old greyhound who is very placid and sleeps all day.
Hours are also somewhat flexible but need to cover at least between 8:15am and 5pm on both days. We are ideally looking for someone who can commit to the position for at least 12 months.
We would also like to ensure that there can be a 1-2 week period of shadowing prior to mother's return to work on 26th of May.
Up-to-date first aid qualifications, WWCC, non-smoker and driver's license are a must for us.
We look forward to hearing from you!
We're Ali and Alexei and we're hoping to find someone to help us on Mondays to take care of our two boys. Our eldest, Luca, is 3 and our youngest, Remy, is 1 and 4 months. Ali has been taking care of the boys every Monday but sadly recently was in a car accident that meant her leg is now broken and will need help every Monday with the boys. We're also looking at the possibility of getting a babysitter on additional days in case Luca wants to transition to preschool from daycare in which case there'll be at least two further afternoons of work however that can all be discussed with the possible candidate :) At the moment we'd be hoping to get someone who could work 9am to either 5pm or 6pm every Monday.
Luca is a rambunctious, imaginative, very spirited but loving child who will be your best friend in rapid time if you're willing to go along with his shenanigans and love of whatever has taken his fancy that week. Remy is a happy, easy-go-lucky and loving little baby who warms to people quite quickly and generally loves to be taken on adventures with his big brother, whether it's just to the yard or to the nearby park. We've got a reasonably sized house, an overabundance of toys and a very big front and back-yard as well as garage that's been turned into a playspace for the kids to play in. We're not fussed about cooking or cleaning and really just need someone to be there for the boys :) Also worth noting that Luca is an exceptionally fussy eater so cooking is a bit of a lost cause for him.
If you have any questions at all about the job, please don't hesitate to ask :)
