We are looking for an experienced nanny who genuinely enjoys early childhood and can bring calm, happy energy to the kids day. You'll be trusted to run the time together as your own.

Hi

We are looking for afterschool care for our 7 year old boy commencing immediately. Initially we are looking for Monday and Wednesday from 3:30pm to 7pm.

Our family is quite dynamic as two full time executives working and travelling. We have three boys aged 20, 17 and 7. The ‘big boys’ are with us every other week and are fairly self-sufficient. We also have a medium size fluffy dog called Lando who is friendly and gentle and will love pats from you!

We live in Northcote and a 500m walking distance to the primary school for pick up.

We are seeking help two afternoons a week for our youngest from 3:30pm to 7pm. Monday and Wednesday. The role includes collection from school, general playtime, reading, some clothes washing and preparing easy family meals.

We have a nanny at the moment but she is has limited availability and we are seeking additional support. We are hopeful that if this arrangement is successful you will be part of our list of casual carers for weekend events or date nights.

Our ideal nanny is someone responsible with good communication skills, friendly punctual, and proactive.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Lindsey & Matt

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).

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.

Hello!
We are a family of 4 - we have two children, one 3 year old girl and one 4 month old boy - we would love someone to help us on a Friday for the full day. I will be around, but also in and out of the house (will take the 4 month old with me mostly!) My daughter loves craft, cooking, adventures to the library, park, zoo, cafe, museum etc! We have a dance class on Friday morning so would need someone to either take our 3 year old or assist me in taking her.
Hope to hear from you! We are in Princes Hill so very close.

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.

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)
