Looking for a wonderful nanny in Hawthorn 3122
Start date: February 2026
Pay: $35–$40/hr (depending on experience)

We are looking for a confident, caring, creative and reliable nanny to look after our two boys aged 3 and 4 on Tuesdays (8:30 am to 5:00 pm) and Fridays (8:30 am to 4:00 pm).

This is a part-time nanny role caring for two young children during the business day. It would ideally suit an experienced nanny whose current family’s circumstances are changing next year and who is looking for their next ongoing position.

We have had a wonderful experience with our current nanny over the past year, and as she begins a placement for her Early Childhood Education studies next year, she will only be available one day a week. We are looking for someone to join our family and care for the boys across both days on an ongoing basis. We would love to find someone who is looking for a long-term role throughout 2026.

The boys attend kindergarten on the other days, so these two days are focused on park adventures, exploring, kicking the football and having fun. They love playgrounds, the library, picnics and little outings, and we are hoping to find someone who enjoys planning engaging days with them.

Both parents work from home. We also have a Groodle, so being comfortable around dogs is important.

Ideally, you will:
• Have experience caring for preschool-aged children
• Enjoy play-based learning and creative, hands-on activities
• Be kind, patient and confident managing two young children
• Hold a Working With Children Check and police check
• Have a driver’s licence, own car ideal
• Be comfortable with light household tidying related to the boys such as meals, toys and laundry

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. Please send a short note about your experience, availability, and why you think this role would be a good fit for you.

Hello Nannies,
We are a family who have always had wonderful Nannies help us. Our current nanny just landed an internship in Sydney starting at the end of this month so finishes up with us next week. We are looking for someone who is available M, T, W, T & F 3:15pm-6:30pm (we can be flexible on Fridays). Our boys are 7 &9 and have a busy sports schedule after school. The role involves picking them up from school, getting them to afternoon sport, then getting them home for showers and cooking their dinner. Drivers license and car essential (we will reimburse for fuel). We are looking for someone who can commit for 1 year (perfect for a Uni student who can manage their Uni schedule around this hours). You will also have school holidays off as we tend to go interstate to see family. Start date end of November. If this sounds like it is of interest, please get in touch. Thank you, Whitney

We are looking for a nanny for our 10 month old daughter, 1 day per week (flexible over what day).

Based in Hawthorn, the role requires a full day of coordinating play, meals and naps, based on Lily’s schedule. I will provide all her meals, but basic house work is expected (tidying, washing, cleaning up).

We are hoping for someone who has experience with babies of this age. She is very playful and always on the move, crawling and walking across the furniture. She loves music, dancing, walks in the pram and watching the kids play on the playground.

There is potential to move to 2 days per week in 2026.

Please reach out if you’re interested!

Hello,
We are looking for a caring, patient, and reliable carer to support our son, Artie.

Artie is a strong-minded, curious 4-year-old who loves the outdoors, books, boxes, water play, baking, and trains. He was born with a genetic neuro-developmental disorder and has global developmental delay. He is non-verbal, has cortical vision impairment (CVI), and low muscle tone, so he benefits from some additional support. Experience with children with additional needs is welcome but not essential—finding the right person who genuinely connects with Artie is most important to us.

Artie will be starting at a special school in Balwyn next year to support his communication needs. He has been wonderfully integrated into his mainstream kinder and childcare over the past four years, and we’re looking to ensure a smooth, positive transition.

What we’re hoping for -
We’re looking for someone who can assist with:
- Morning routines
- School drop-offs and pick-ups
- After-school support, including help with his therapy programs, until we are home from work around 6pm
- Light meal preparation and light housework
- Additional support during school holidays

Artie has a little sister, Mira (17 months), who will be in childcare during the week.

We are full-time working parents, and with our first child starting school, we’re hoping to find the right person to become a consistent, supportive presence in our family routine.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in, we’d love to hear from you.

Our two children are nearly six and eight years old. After many years with us, our current wonderful nanny is moving on. We are looking for a long-term nanny to become a new part of our family and help provide stability and security.

We need:

- Afternoons, 2-7pm Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (Mum and Dad arrive home just before 7pm)
- School pick-up (10 min drive, booster seats provided)
- Dinner preparation (reheat or simple preps), tidying, dishes
- Supervision of music practice and homework
- Extended hours are available for a household manager to support with other house cleaning, laundry and grocery shopping


Our kids are energetic and bright, and love reading, crafting, puzzles and games. Our family enjoys learning about languages, cultures and the natural world. We do not use screen-time during the week and have a gentle parenting style (or so others tell us!). We use structure and routine to help the rhythm and flow of our family in a light-hearted way and we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Our ideal nanny has high emotional intelligence, is calm, patient, caring and understanding with children, particularly during times of high emotions. They value children’s voices and opinions and can support them with co-regulation when needed. They see themselves as more than a babysitter, take pride in their important position in the lives of children and have open communication with parents. Certificate III or higher in childcare would be desirable.

We look forward to embracing our new nanny, with their own style and the unique qualities they will bring in to our family.

We are looking for a nanny to take care of our 2 school aged kids (9 and 11) after school 3-4 days per week.
We would need you to pick them up from school (will need your own car) bring home and also take to after school sports activities.
We also have a pug, so hopefully you like dogs!
Ideally you could do pick ups at 3pm and be home with them until 6.30pm.
Also likely to need some hours during school holiday periods if available.
Thanks.

After school care including school pick up for our 4 and 6 year old boys (4 year old goes to kinder on school site) 2:45-4:30pm. Our six year old has autism so needs a patient and kind person, ideally with experience with neurodiverse children. Ideally you would be available for school holiday care too.

School pick up could be by car or bus (so drivers licence would be good but not essential).

We are looking for a new nanny/housekeeper after 8 years with our previous much loved nanny. It is just me and my Grade 7 boy and Grade 5 girl. We are a fun loving and busy household and hope that you would like to come and join in! I work full time but flexibly and am after someone to help keep the house running and be there for the kids in the afternoon and do odd jobs during the day on an as needed basis. The role involves keeping the kids washing turned over, some supermarket shopping and cooking dinners. Please get in touch if this sounds like you!
