Hello! We are looking for a Nanny to join our family for approx. 3 days per week to look after our 6 month old daughter Violet and 4 year old daughter Charlotte. Our current nanny is finishing in June and therefore we are looking for someone to start as soon as possible to enable a smooth handover. Our daughter Violet has some special needs requiring physio support so we are ideally looking for someone really passionate about babies and helping with their development. The days we are looking for support are Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from approx. 7:30am - 6:30pm/7pm. Our 4 year old daughter Charlotte will be in Kinder on these days and we are hoping to find someone who is happy to do drop off and pick up on these days and care for our 6 month old while Charlotte is in Kinder and then both children together in the afternoon/evening. We are looking for someone who loves children, is creative and who can build a great relationship with both our girls. As my husband and I both work fairly long hours we are hoping to find someone who is also happy to help out with light household duties and cleaning e.g. dishes, laundry, grocery shopping, cooking for Violet and Charlotte etc and also who may be able to cook a couple of dinners per week or help with meal prep. If this sounds like a job that might fit what you're looking for, please message me to connect :)

Hi there,

We are currently looking for a nanny for our three boys, who are aged 16 (Year 11), 12 (Year 6) and 9 (Year 4). As both of us are working parents, we are primarily looking for someone from 2pm/3pm through to 6-7pm on weekdays.

The role involved giving our dog a walk, picking the boys up from school, bringing them to their after school activities, housework (hanging up laundry and folding laundry, clearing/stacking dishwasher), and (depending on when you need to leave) preparing and starting off dinner for the boys.

The rates are negotiable based on merit and experience. If our family and the role sounds like a good match for you, we would love to hear from you!

Regards,
Mei & Dean

We are a busy professional family based in Kooyong looking for a caring, reliable and energetic nanny to help with our three lovely children — 9-year-old twin boys and a 3-year-old girl.

Our much-loved long-term nanny is sadly moving on after finishing university and starting her career in her chosen field, so we are looking for someone new to become part of our family.

The role will primarily involve:

* School and kinder drop-offs and pick-ups
* Caring for our 3-year-old on Wednesdays
* Taking children to after-school activities
* Helping keep the day running smoothly

Regular hours required:

* Tuesdays & Thursdays: school/kinder drop-offs and pick-ups
* Wednesdays: full day

We live in Kooyong, with school in Hawthorn and kinder in Armadale — all within a small radius (under 3km). While driving distances are minimal, a driver’s licence is essential.

We would highly value someone with flexibility for:

* Longer hours during school holidays
* The occasional Monday

We are open-minded about how the role could work and would happily consider:

* Splitting the role across multiple people
* Different employment arrangements
* Expanding the position into a broader home manager role for the right person

Pay is $35–40 per hour, negotiable depending on experience and responsibilities.

I am currently on leave, so the role is not urgently needing to be filled, and we can be flexible with a start date from July onwards for the right person.

We are looking for someone warm, organised and dependable who enjoys being around children and becoming part of family life. If this sounds like a good fit, we would love to hear from you!

My name is Sarah and I live with my partner and 2 boys in Hawthorn East (3yo and 4mo). I am looking for care for my 4 month old, primarily on Wednesday afternoons, but with the potential for more work in future, as I slowly return to work post maternity leave. I would love to organise a meeting if this type of work is of interest. Cheers, Sarah

Hi There, we're parents (Nikki & Tom) to a 9m old girl and a 4y old boy.

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.

I’ll be travelling overseas with work and we need some help picking up / dropping off our 3 boys at school while I’m away. Also help making dinner for the boys and walking our dog Frankie.

Hi, I’m looking for a warm, bubbly, and patient babysitter with experience in disability. We have a gorgeous neurodivergent boy (autistic/ADHD/Intellectual Disability) who is 7 and developmentally around 1-2 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. He is very quick and we need someone who will be hypervigilant around him to keep him safe. 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 help on Fridays after school (3-7pm) and also Saturdays (2-6pm). The role involves picking him up from school, feeding, supervising and playing with him at home, nappy changes, bath time, and taking him out to the park.
