Hi all! I’m looking for a nanny to look after my 4-year-old daughter during the day (8 AM - 5 PM) from January 6th to 17th, as her kindergarten will be closed for the holidays.
We’re looking for someone who is engaging, patient, and has experience with young children. Ideally, you’ll be comfortable with light meal prep, some arts and crafts activities, and outdoor play when weather permits.
If you're available during these dates and think you'd be a good fit, please reach out with your availability and experience. We’re excited to hear from you!
We're looking for a nanny for our two children from 8am-6pm on Mondays and Tuesdays in our home in Pascoe Vale South. The job would involve school drop-off (walking) and pick-up for our 9 year-old son, and the bulk of the day would be spent with our 3 year old daughter. School is walking distance and we are close to a park. During the day, the nanny would ideally take our daughter to the park, go to the library, zoo or the pool, or any other activities that are accessible by foot or on the nearby tram. Otherwise time at home can be spent reading stories, playing games, fun on the trampoline or doing craft. She is a chatty, active, curious child who will be starting 3 year old kindergarten in Jan 2025. No house-work required in a big way but keeping the house clean and tidy, hanging out laundry/unloading dishwasher on request and making our daughter's lunch and snacks are required. Our son enjoys soccer and other sports, and time with him will mostly be before and after school. We also may request ad-hoc additional days or evenings if you have capacity. We're a rainbow family so the successful candidate must be comfortable in a house with two mums.

Hi nannies,
We are looking for a caring nanny to look after our 2 year old son for 2 full days a week (Tue and Fri 7am to 6pm).
We require at least 2 years of professional experience working with toddlers. The successful nanny will be able to follow our implemented family routine and attend outings/activities on a regular basis.
Assistance with household duties is NOT required.
Our current nanny has been with us since our little one was 7 months old. However, our family is relocating from the Mornington Peninsula to Lalor next year and she is understandably unable to commit to the commute.
We look forward to hearing from you!
My name is Kate. I'm a single mother to a 6 year old daughter, Ripley. We live in Reservoir (near Reservoir station).
Right now (Dec/Jan 2024), over the school holidays I'm looking for someone to support me with care for Ripley. I'm on annual leave from work, however my mum had a stroke last week and at least over the next few weeks, I need help with Ripley so i can get to the hospital to visit my mum. This would likely be a day or two a week.
In 2025, I also need support with Ripley on Tuesdays, from about 2pm-6pm, and likely also all day on a Saturday, but really I've got a lot of flex on days. (Ripley attends school part time). I also take quarterly mental health breaks usually to Byron Bay, I'd love to pay to bring you along (in your own room of course and super clear boundaries so you aren't on the clock 24/7).
Ripley is a smart, anxious, very creative and imaginative kid who adores animals. She's highly sensitive and really sort of gets vibes off people's energy, so I'm after someone who is the right fit for her and someone with a calm and fun energy. She can get a bit overwhelmed on excursions, so my strong preference would be that you would stay at my place with her and make fun at home. Home is her safe space. She loves playing with her shopkins, barbies, monster high dolls and lego. Her special interest is animals of any kind. If you have a kid friendly dog, Ripley would adore it if you brought your dog with you, she's very respectful of animals their personal space. I have a large fenced in backyard.
I'm left leaning, its a LGBTQI+ safe household. I myself am into arthouse cinema and MIFF, music, listening to podcasts and fashion. We have one cat (she's a former stray who spends a lot of time outside and isnt bothered by dogs).
If we sound like the fit for you, please get in touch! Thank you, Kate

FAQ
- Being full time it's a guaranteed 76 hours a fortnight. Wednesdays is generally a half day 8:30am to 1pm, most days are a 8:30am start to walk our eldest to school by 9am. My husband and I work our schedules so that most days are a 5pm or 5:30pm finish because one parent makes it home by then.
- Pay rate would vary according to applicant skills and experience, please do let us know your requested salary. If you're used to cash in hand jobs you may find the website paycalculator.com.au useful to work out how an hourly rate translates when superannuation and taxation are involved.
- Yes, the position is still open :)
