Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Hawthorn VIC

We are a warm family seeking a reliable, caring nanny for our two primary-school-aged girls during the school terms (40weeks). The girls are 8 and almost 10. Very self sufficient, easy, quiet and kind.

Afternoons (3:30–6:30pm): Collect the girls from inside their primary school in Hawthorn West, drive home to Bulleen, prepare snacks and dinner, supervise homework (20 minutes reading), and assist with light household duties.

Permanent school-year role (approx. 40 weeks). Three afternoons per week.
Must have own car, licence, comprehensive insurance and WWCC required. Starting ASAP.

We are a family of four: two working parents and two young boys (20 months and 3 years old). We are looking for some ad hoc babysitting support to manage the house and child related needs, given busy schedules. There is flexibility as to days of the week and time of day/night.

General duties include:
- playing with kids
- outings to local park etc
- preparing simple kid meals
- general tidy of toys

A close, down-to-earth family of four with two girls, aged 8.5 and 5, is looking for a reliable, warm nanny to care for them Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2pm–6pm, starting as soon as the right person is found. Additional support will be needed during school holidays, plus occasional evening babysitting for date nights.

Please note this role isn't a fit if you need extended leave or are away for multiple weeks at a time, particularly over the summer period (excluding week before Christmas until mid-January).

About the family
A quiet, family-oriented household that values routine, warmth, and a wholesome, grounded environment for the girls. Both parents work, though they're sometimes home during the day, and are very hands-on and present in their children's lives. First and foremost, the family is looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring — someone with strong personal values who will treat their home like part of the family.

About the role
The nanny will care for both girls together, keeping them engaged with arts and crafts, outdoor play, cooking, reading, and imaginative games (the girls don't use iPads, and screen time is kept minimal). Duties include:

School pick-up on Tuesdays and Thursdays
Light laundry (washing and drying only, no ironing)
Grocery shopping before school pick-up
Helping keep the house tidy (general errands, accepting packages, unpacking the dishwasher)
Returning the house to a tidy state at the end of each day

Pay & requirements

$33/hour + super, paid properly through payroll
Permanent Australian Residency
Valid Working With Children Check
Valid First Aid and CPR certification
Experience with young children (open to someone newer to caregiving with the right qualities)
Two strong references
Driver's licence
Non-smoker/non-vaper

Please get in touch with a bit about yourself, your experience, and your availability.

We’re a family with three boys aged 13, 10 and 8, and we’re looking for someone warm, reliable and capable who would ideally like to stay with us long term.

We’re looking for help for around 2–3 hours Monday–Thursday afternoons, as well as occasional evening babysitting for date nights. The afternoons will vary depending on the boys’ activities and may include school/activity drop-offs, helping with homework, laundry and ironing, simple meal prep and general light household help.

We’d love someone who is mature, kind, organised and happy to take some initiative.

$32–$35/hour depending on experience.

Please send us a short, personal introduction about yourself, your experience, availability, whether you drive, and why you think the role might suit you. No need for a formal or polished cover letter — we’d much rather get a feel for who you are.

Hi,

We are looking for help 5 days (Mon-Fri) a week after 2 pm for around 6 hrs a day. We have a 12 week old which needs to be taken care while we attend to our 5 year old when she comes back from school. We are located in toorak. Please let me know if anyone is interested.

We are a small family of 3 and are looking for a nanny for our 9 year old son. Our son is a happy energetic loving child who is very good at math's, reading, music and spelling. We would like our nanny to be able to drive safely, pick him up from school, actively engage with his homework, projects, learning (writing and reading) and assist with his care in the evening - dinner and bedtime routine. Having a car and driving safely is very important. Housework will be a part of the job description. Light cooking and cleaning will be involved. We are both busy professionals and need someone who is trustworthy, structured/ organised, punctual and very reliable. Active engagement with his studies is important to us. Most importantly, a kind, patient and loving personality is essential for this job, given our son has autism and ADHD (diagnosed).

Hi, our daughter is 2.5 years old and we now require an experienced, energetic, caring and extroverted nanny (who is at least 21 years old) every week on Thursday from 12 - 4.30 with the chance of additional hours as familiarity increases. Its very important to be talkative and playful as she feels more comfortable with such personalities. We prefer a good history of nannying alongside having first aid certificate, police check, working with children check and references. We are based in Kew and will, of course, take the time to explain and be around you to help build an easy going routine and comfort between our daughter and you.
Rate - $40 per hour. Appreciate your time, thank you.

We are a family of 4 living in Hawthorn East. My husband and I have a 8 yr old son and a 1 yr old son. We are searching for a caring person to help us with our morning school routine with our son and toddler. We would like help with school drop off in the morning for our 8 yr old son from Mon-Thurs. After the school drop off we would like help with baby sitting our toddler for 3 hours (till his noon nap). We would like the baby sitter to spend time with our toddler playing and doing activities that are applicable for his age.

Hi,

We're a busy family in Hawthorn East looking for a reliable, organised nanny to help us during the week. We have three children, a 10-year-old (turning 11 in September) and 8-year-old twins, all in primary school.

What we need help with:

- General household organising and tidying, including vacuuming upstairs (downstairs is handled by our robot vacuum) and wiping down surfaces, to keep the home running smoothly
- Laundry : washing, drying, folding and putting away
- School pick-up (one school only. the other is covered by family)
- Helping the kids with homework and their after-school routine

Deep cleaning is handled by our regular cleaner and meal prep is taken care of by family, so this role is focused on tidying, light cleaning, laundry, the children and homework.

Hours: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 12pm–6pm (6 hours per day, ~18 hours per week). Housework in the earlier part of the day, then school pick-up and the kids in the afternoon.

Thank you!

Hello!

(The lady who has been helping me for many years is going overseas during this time.) my eldest is 16 years old (she is very independent), I have a 13 year old son who catches train (independent) and it’s the 2 younger girls (10 and 7) who need to be collected from school and supervised.
Basic meal prep and house keeping duties also required (laundry)

Let me know if this suits you!
Thanks
Lucinda

We are a warm and friendly family seeking a caring, experienced nanny for our lovely 16-month-old daughter while our regular nanny completes a university placement. We require care one day per week (ideally Tuesday or Wednesday), approximately 10am–2pm, from late September to mid-October, with the potential for a second day for the right person. Care will take place primarily in our home, with parks and a library within walking distance. We are looking for someone warm, gentle, reliable and genuinely engaged, with recent toddler experience, WWCC and references. Potential for ongoing work with baby number 2 expected in November.

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, tidying house and walking our dog Frankie.

We’re looking for a warm, fun and energetic male babysitter/manny to become a regular part of our family’s support network and spend time with our two children, aged 8 and 10.

We’d particularly love to find someone who genuinely enjoys hanging out with kids and is happy getting outdoors and doing active things — kicking a soccer ball or footy, shooting hoops, bike rides, trips to the park, swimming, or whatever the kids are interested in. Our 8-year-old son would especially benefit from someone who can help him build confidence with ball sports in a really casual, fun way — we’re definitely not looking for formal coaching!

Our 10-year-old daughter may sometimes want to join in and at other times do her own thing, so we’re looking for someone who is equally happy spending time with both kids and following their interests.

Both children have lots of interests beyond sport and we’d love someone who can just enjoy being with them — whether that means Minecraft, Lego, drawing, playing games, going on an outing or having a kick at the park.

This isn’t intended to be a super-structured role. We’re really looking for the right person: someone kind, responsible, engaged and playful who could ideally build a great ongoing relationship with the kids. It could suit a uni student, teacher/PE teacher in training, sports coach or someone already working with children.

Initially we’re thinking a few hours once or twice a week, with flexibility for additional babysitting, weekends and school holidays if it suits everyone.

A current Working With Children Check is essential, and we’d also require references and a police check. A driver’s licence, first aid qualification and previous experience with primary-school-aged children would be highly regarded.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy who really likes kids and will make spending time together feel like fun rather than another organised activity.

I'm looking for 1-2 nannies in or near SOUTH YARRA to take my twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday). In the morning, it's quite easy - you change their nappy from the night, give them a formula bottle, and take them to childcare, which is 5 minutes away, between 7-8am in the morning, so it can take about 30-40 minutes total.
In the evening, you pick them up from childcare at 6pm, then feed (solid food)/wash/change them before going to bed at 8pm, so 2 hours total (6-8pm)
In addition, each nanny does 1 day on the weekend, for example, Saturday Or Sunday from 12-5pm (or 1-6pm).
Ideally, you should have experience caring for infants; be friendly, warm, and nurturing; understand infants' needs; have good command of English; and perform light duties, such as kids' laundry, food prep, cleaning after them.
If interested and qualified, please contact me to discuss asap.
Thanks,
Ilan
