Hi there! My name is Christeen, and I'm looking for a caring and reliable babysitter for our 1-year-old son, Tavi, for two out of the following three days: Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. I work from home and need someone to care for Tavi during business hours (9am–5pm).
We're hoping to find someone who: • Can plan age-appropriate, engaging activities that support Tavi’s motor and cognitive development (bonus if you're familiar with Montessori-style play). • Can assist with preparing and feeding meals. • Is confident putting him down for naps independently (I'll be around to support you as he gets used to it). • Can change nappies. • Can help with his daily routine, especially to support an earlier bedtime around 7pm. • Wouldn’t mind helping with small daily household tasks while Tavi naps. • Bonus: Speaks Spanish! I’m hoping to reintroduce the language into our home, and exposure through play and conversation would be wonderful.
We prefer someone who has professional experience working with toddlers aged 1–2, whether as a babysitter, in a daycare or early childhood education setting, and who can provide references for that experience.
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone nurturing, fun, and trustworthy. Someone Tavi will be excited to see and feel safe with. So far, he’s been cared for by his grandparents and is used to being with loving, familiar adults.
A bit about us: We’re a small family of four: my husband and I, our sweet 1-year-old Tavi, and Benji, our gentle and friendly 7-year-old Golden Retriever. We live in Mickleham and both my husband and I work from home. We follow a gentle parenting approach and are inspired by Montessori principles. We aim to give Tavi the freedom to explore, learn, and grow at his own pace in a calm and supportive environment.
We’re really excited to welcome the right person into our lives and look forward to finding someone who feels like a natural fit with our family. If this sounds like you, please get in touch and share your experience and references at chriskas2020@gmail.com.
We are a family of four, myself, my husband and two lovely girls, 8 and 11 yrs old (as well as an old cat and an old naughty dog). I have broken my foot and am unable to drive for the whole of the next school term. We looking for a nanny to start as soon as possible, to pick up our girls from school, bring them home, feed them arvo tea, make sure they practice their instruments and do their homework three afternoons a week. Ideally you would also prepare their (very simple) dinner two nights a week before I arrive home from work. Thursdays would be a shorter afternoon, just getting them to and from swimming and gymnastics which are situated nearby. There is definitely potential for ongoing work after I become mobile again as well.
We are a small family of 3 and are looking for a nanny for our 8 year old son. Our son is a happy energetic loving child who is very good at maths, reading, music and spelling. We would like our nanny to be able to drive safely, pick him up from school, actively engage with his learning (writing and reading) and assist with his care in the evening - dinner and bedtime routine. Housework will be a part of the job description. Light cooking for our son and cleaning will be involved. We are both busy professionals and need someone who is trustworthy, punctual and very reliable. 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)
Three kids - 13, 11, and 5, all at school.
We are looking for a wonderful addition to the family to help two busy working parents. We find it difficult to manage all the pick ups with our work schedules, + after school activities. Our current nanny helped us greatly by spending some extra time after the morning rush helping us to reset the house which made the week go really smoothly so we'd love to find someone that might be happy to do some light housework (dishes, tidying kids toys) that will help us reset after the kids go off to school.
Someone with flexibility in schedule would be great as needs may vary a little week to week. One parent travels each week (Thursday and Friday). We can commit to min hours as needed.
We are a 2-dad family looking for an experienced nanny to provide childcare for our 3-year old boy for 1-day (Thursday) per week from 7.30am-6pm. You should be suitably qualified with a number of years experience with toddlers.
Applicants with experience supporting the changing needs of a medical/executive family a plus. Applicants must have current Police Check and Working With Children. First Aid training ideal. Bi-lingual applicants encouraged, including those with a keen interest in infant education through visual & verbal interaction and play.
Applicants must be comfortable working with a dog in the house. He's anxious at first, but will warm up over time.
We're looking for someone who can commit to a long term position and is very reliable. Please don't hesitate to send me a message to discuss this role further.
Hi, our daughter is 18 months old and we now require an extroverted nanny for the following times every Thursday 10-5pm, Friday 2-6pm, Saturday 2 - 5pm and Sunday 10-4. Its very important to be talkative and engaging 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. 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 - $35 per hour. Appreciate your time, thank you.
We have three beautiful kids - two year old twins and a four year old. Our four year old will be at Kinder on Wednesday and Thursday from 8:30am-4pm so you would mostly be with the twins. The role would involve dropping our son off and picking him up from Kinder (walking distance), making meals for the kids, putting the twins down for a nap around midday, and doing some general housework like laundry and cooking.
We are a friendly and relaxed family who are looking for someone who enjoys spending time with kids and who will take good care if them. We would love someone who will play with them and get them out of the house - to the park, library, play group etc.
We’re looking for a wonderful babysitter to join our family!
We have a 3.5-year-old girl, a 19-month-old boy, and we’re expecting a baby girl in October 2025. We're after someone reliable and experienced with babies and toddlers, as the role will mostly involve caring for our baby and 19-month-old (our eldest attends kinder).
You’ll need to be available Mondays and Fridays in 2025, and then Mondays, Wednesdays (half day), and Fridays in 2026. Hours are 7am to 3pm, with Wednesdays in 2026 likely being a half day (e.g. 7am–1pm) just with our baby (our toddler will be with grandparents).
In early 2026, care will focus on our baby—including bringing her to my nearby workplace for feeds when needed.
We’re based in a 4-bedroom home with a big backyard, close to parks, walking tracks, shops, and the local library. You’re welcome to drive our car (with car seats), and we’ll treat you like part of our family.
Please only apply if you are not currently a uni student, as we need someone who can commit to consistent days and early starts.
Bonus: We have lots of local friends also looking for a nanny, so if you're after more hours, we’re happy to connect you!
To apply, please email your resume and cover letter to zara@zandaspeech.com.au – we look forward to hearing from you!
We are looking for a full time nanny to look after our little 9 month old baby boy.
We will need 40hrs per week across 4 days (10hr days) Monday through Thursday starting from the 4th August. Starting from the 2nd June we will be looking for 2 days per week (6hr days) to ease with the transition to full time care.
A little about us... Theo will be one when starting full time care and is a clever, playful and fun little boy. He enjoys walks, music, reading, games and is very social - loves smiles and chatting 😊 He has been on purely solids for two months now and so is fully weaned and enjoys his food. He is already crawling and may even start walking soon!
We live in a house with plenty of play areas indoor and out. We're just off Glenferrie Rd in Hawthorn so while a car is helpful, it's not essential as we are super close to the station, tram, library, cafes, playgrounds etc.
A little about you... A WWCC check is essential. It would also be great if you have experience with infants. We're after someone friendly, reliable and trustworthy.
If this sounds like an interesting role, feel free to reach out with any questions you may have or send through your resume/CV 😊

Regular hours would be Thursdays approximately 2:30pm to 7pm, or earlier start for additional home help by negotiation. Options of additional afternoons / evenings from time to time and potential but not requirement for additional hours during school holidays.
