Hello, my name is Anna.

We are a family of five living in Malvern, with three boys aged 7, 6 and 5, and we are looking for someone for regular, casual babysitting.

We would love to find someone who is responsible, mature, energetic and proactive, and who genuinely enjoys spending time with children.

Our boys love playing sport outdoors, exploring nature, baking and playing games, so we are hoping to find someone who enjoys getting involved and having fun with them.

We are also looking for someone who is happy to help with simple household tasks and tidy up after the boys as part of their role.

Evening babysitting may include things like emptying the dishwasher, tidying up and folding the children’s laundry when needed.

Most importantly, we hope to find someone who will enjoy spending time with our boys and become a trusted, valued part of our family. We would love to build a great relationship with someone we can rely on and who feels equally comfortable and happy working with us.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Many thanks,
Anna

We’re looking for a reliable and trustworthy babysitter to help care for our 17-month-old son, on an ad hoc basis, sometimes with fairly short notice.

We’re relatively new to Melbourne and don’t have family support nearby, so we’d love to find someone local who we can build an ongoing relationship with and feel comfortable contacting when we need an extra pair of hands.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has a current WWCC and Police Check
• Has experience with, or is very confident caring for, children around 17 months old
• Is reliable, responsible and genuinely comfortable with young children
• Lives in or close to Surrey Hills
• Is available during weekday working hours, generally between 9am–6pm
• Is comfortable being in a home with a cat - no pet care is required, he’ll simply be around!

The work would be casual/ad hoc rather than set weekly hours, and occasionally we may need someone at relatively short notice, so someone with a bit of flexibility would be ideal.

We’d really love to find someone warm, dependable and trustworthy who can become a familiar person for our little boy rather than having to find a different babysitter each time.

If you’re interested, please send me a message with a little bit about yourself, your experience with young children, your general availability and your hourly rate. 🤍

Hi there! We have a 6 yr old boy and 9 yr old girl… Mum and Dad have busy work schedules and need a little help!

We’re looking for a friendly, reliable babysitter to help us out one afternoon a week (likely Wednesdays if that works) — picking the kids up from school at 3:30 pm and hanging out with them until about 6:30 pm (timing negotiable).

We live about a 5–10 minute drive from the school. The job involves collecting the kids, supervising homework, creating a fun/relaxing afternoon vibe, preparing simple snacks or dinner, and a bit of light tidying of kid-related chaos. The job may involve taking kids to activities, so a reliable car and safe, confident driver is important.

Some weeks, we might ask if you’re free for an extra afternoon, an occasional date night, or a few hours on the weekend.. especially when one parent is travelling for work.
