Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Kalkallo VIC

I am looking for a babysitter to watch my two children while I go to a job interview and tour of a local childcare centre on Thursday 26th Feb at 10am.
Michael is 4.5yrs and Elijah is 2yrs. Both very cheeky, clever little boys.

We are looking for a carer who we can count on casually to care for our boys (3 and 5) really help with kinder drop off and school drop off. It would be about 2 hours on a Tuesday morning and a Wednesday morning.

We are looking for a nanny to become part of our growing family. We currently have a 5 month old and are looking to have another baby next year.

Starting with Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9am -2pm, but this can be flexible if needed. With some extra evenings and the potential to travel with us while we are on holiday, interstate and overseas.

We run our own business so are flexible with work, but would love someone to be in the home to help with childcare and other household tasks.

Our lovely baby sitter has moved so we’re seeking a reliable, local babysitter to assist with daycare and school pickup during the week. We live in Pascoe Vale and have two Swaussie (Swedish/Aussie) girls, aged 3 and 6. They enjoy going to the park, animals (we have an elderly dog and a cat), arts and crafts, reading books, and dancing. They’re very entertaining and enjoyable to be around, though they do have occasional meltdowns when it’s time to leave the park. We’re always happy to help if that happens if you struggle. :)

The role involves picking them up at 3 pm from daycare or school two days a week (we can be flexible with it being Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday). You’ll most likely take them to the park for a hour before we arrive home around 5 pm. They enjoy outdoor activities, but we only have a small yard, so visiting the park is ideal.

We’re looking for a local 20+ female who is confident, creative, active, playful, honest, safety-minded, reliable, and positive. A personal car is necessary for this role, as the school is about a 10-minute drive from our house. We’ll provide the car seats, but ideally, you’d be comfortable having them in most weeks (we’re happy to reinstall them every once in a while).

We want our kids to get the most out of their childhood, especially through play, and hope to find someone who can help facilitate that. We’ll pay a casual rate and you’ll need insurance. We’ll ask you to keep phone use to a minimum when you’re with the kids. Besides than that we’re pretty flexible and easy going. We’d hope you could commit to about a year if we’re a good fit. Our previous babysitter is happy to be a reference for us.

Hey all. We're looking for a nanny in Pascoe Vale 1-2 times a week. We have a 6 year old, 3 year old and a 2 year old old although at least one of them is usually not around due to kinder or school.
We are flexible on days and times at this stage so it could be a good opportunity for you to let us know your ideal availability and we can hopefully work something out. ideally we are looking for support for 4 hour shifts, on 1-2 times a week during the morning or day time.
Pay rate is $50 / hour. When responding please message me info on your previous experiences and how that worked, where you are located and your ideal availability times. Thanks!

Hello my name is Liz and I am a mum to 4 kids. I live in Avondale Heights. I am looking for someone specifically for Wednesday 21 Jan to look after my 4 kids from 8:45am until around 11am or a little later (just a few hours in the morning) We do use babysitters from time to time, so it's likely this job would lead to more casual babysitting later. If you are available on the morning of Wednesday 21 January and you love working with kids, have all the relevant checks such as WWCC and references and you live close to Avondale Heights, please message me.

I've provided an outline all of the practical details of the job first.

A little bit about us:

Our little boy is a confident, kind, happy 6 year old who loves animals, trains, understanding his world and learning to be independent.
He is curious, asks lots of questions, hearing the answers, learning new things, telling you about them and loves mastering new tasks.
He understands himself well and is very good at advocating for himself, and he knows that we will listen to him and believe him. He loves music and singing to music.
He loves school and his friends at school.

We need this help as we both need to leave for work early however we are pretty engaged parents, with a lot of family support close by as well, and we’ll ensure that you are well supported and have everything you need to do this caregiving role well!

Our brand of parenting is one driven by best practice, data, reliable resources (raising children network, RCH guidelines, advice from GPs and other paediatric resources), principals that support children’s emotional wellbeing and the fundamental respect for a child’s space to grow, explore who they are, play, be silly, funny and cheeky and learn about their world!

We’re looking for someone who:
-has pro-social skills (Empathy, respect, kindness and gratitude) and because of these generally has positive interactions with others (a wordy way of saying you’re just generally a nice person!)
-understands and values being on the same side of children, and building a positive narrative around them.
-has a strong understanding and respect for the importance of body safe rules, child safe rules and safe adult rules.
-understands the importance of finding and giving them small opportunities frequently to succeed at things and celebrating these and them.
-genuinely sees children as equal, worthy and important individuals with autonomy and agency.
-ideally, has experience working with 6 year olds, and thus an approximate understanding of where a 6 year old is at developmentally and patience for what they can and cannot do.

We are looking for someone to join our family full time (Monday to Friday - 7.30am to 5.30pm). We welcomed our twins in late October and have an almost 4 year old who goes to childcare full time. We are a very busy household with both parents working full time. The role will be full time, and we will pay a full time salary + super and leave entitlements. Start date March/April depending on availability.

We would be looking for someone who will be part of our family and:
- Has experience looking after twins or multiple children (6 month +)
- Understands key development milestones and supports children with appropriate activities to achieve them
- Is a well rounded caregiver and loves what they do
- Is reliable (mum travels for work and we will need someone whom the family can depend on as we don't have any family nearby)

Duties:
- Sole focus on the twins
- Feeding, playing, development activities, putting to bed, bathing etc
- Folding babies laundry and doing their washing if its required
- Keeping the house tidy - putting away baby toys, clothing etc at the end of the day when they are finished for the day, emptying dishwasher if used. Cleaner comes fortnightly.
