Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Hawthorn VIC

Hi - I have a 12 months old and looking for a suitable nanny to work 1-2 days (Tuesday and Friday) from end of September/start October. Ideally with first aid and police check. Based in Hawthorn. Please reach out if you’re interested. Thanks

We are a family about to become 5 and are looking for someone to help with after school/kinder pick up and help through dinner/bath time. Our two children are 3.5 and 6 years old and we will welcome our newborn in mid-August. Looking for someone available roughly 3pm until 6.30pm two afternoons a week (preferably Mon and Thurs, but somewhat flexible). Newborn experience not necessary as Mum will be looking after the baby. Working with children check and reference/s preferred. Drivers license required, but can use our car. Some light housework such as preparing and cleaning up dinner and folding washing required. Potential for casual babysitting work also if available.

Hello! We are looking for a Nanny to join our family for approx. 3 days per week to look after our 1 year 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 1 year 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 lovely people 👋 I'm looking for someone to help me out on school mornings and I thought I'd try here before going anywhere else.

I need a family assistant — someone experienced, reliable and a driver — to come to our home from 7–10am on weekdays when I have my kids (we run on an 8/6 custody rotation so it's not every week).

The role is pretty simple: help get the kids out the door with lunches packed and uniforms sorted, tidy up once they've left, and handle things like grocery runs and keeping the house stocked. The kind of person who notices we're out of eggs or that the firewood is running low — without needing to be told.

Kids are school-aged and independent, so this isn't a childcare role. I'm just looking for someone switched-on and trustworthy who knows how a family home runs.

Additional casual work after school and on weekends

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!

After school help needed - pick up in South Yarra and drop off at Hawthorn East, help 10 year old boy with homework.

Loking for a part time regular nanny to help with our 3 kids (7, 4, 2). We'd love to engage someone who can be with the kids regularly and hopefully for a while for continuity.

At this stage, I'm looking for regular afternoon/evening work on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, ideally some groceries/food prep and potentially some light household chores. Then kinder/school pick up and activities, and some play before dinner!

I'm also hoping for a longer day on Thursdays for my younger two - with daytime outings/playground etc

I'd love to chat more if those days/times suit you! We're flexible with hours, hourly rates etc for the right fit!

Cheers
Hannah and John

Hello wonderful Nannies

We are looking for help 35 hours per week for our three beautiful children on a long-term basis . The ideal candidate is warm, caring and can drive. We have had two long-term au pairs previously and love them both very much. I have great previous references!

Some of the hours will be with the children (20 hours per week) and some hours will be for helping around the house Eg. Tidying, Washing, Cooking dinner, running errands etc.).

We have just relocated back to Australia after spending two years living abroad, so the role will start immediately. Occasionally, both my husband and I travel for work, so the perfect candidate would be willing to ramp up if needed for 3/4 days 4-5 times a year. We are an extremely loyal and loving family, and you will instantly become part of ‘our family’

I can’t wait to hear from you!

Hi, we're the Mathews.

We're a family of three, plus two friendly dogs. We're looking for a nanny to care for our 2-year-old daughter every second Friday from 7:00 am to 12:00 pm. We're based in Armadale.

Our daughter loves going to the park, painting, and helping around the house. We recently had a wonderful nanny, but her university schedule changed. We're now looking for someone who would like to become a more permanent part of our family's routine.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Seeking a nanny from 3pm-6pm Thursday afternoon evenings (plus occasional evenings for babysitting), weekly.
We have 2 beautiful boys, 1 year old toddler and almost 5 yr old son.
Job would be coming to our place, either some light tidying or making the evening meal (simple meal with ingredients provided) from 3-4pm, then pick up of both boys from daycare and kinder (2 different locations, one a block away, one 15mins drive), bringing them home, playing with them and giving them some dinner just before myself or my husband would arrive back from work (by 6pm).
Would love to have someone who is open to babysitting in the evenings occasionally so my husband and I can go on a date night or out with friends (maybe once a month ish).
Carer must have a drivers licence, ideally own car (although possibly open to having our car used with right carer) (we would supply car seats for own use of car and can show how to do proper installation).
Ideally would like first aid certificate. Hourly rate will be discussed and based on experience ($30-40).
A bit about us. Our 1 year old loves a cuddle, wants to do everything his big brother can, can talk a lot for his age and loves being outdoors. Our big boy is a very smart, caring and sensitive boy, he loves crafting, playing card games and is enjoying learning to read. Husband is a data scientist and works in the city. I'm a social worker working with families & work north of the city.

Hi, we are a family of 4, 2 small girls, 22 months and 4.5 yesrs old. We need a hand from 6.45am for 3 hours, to get the girls ready, drop them to daycare (walk or drive) and light housework. We also have 2 friendly dogs that would love a wee walk. We are kind, friendly and want someone to join our family. Thanks for considering.
