Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Kew VIC

Hi, our daughter is 2.5 years old and we now require an energetic, caring and extroverted nanny on Wed/Thurs/Fri hours during the week. 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 - $30 per hour. Appreciate your time, thank you.

We are a busy professional family based in Kooyong looking for a caring, reliable and energetic nanny to help with our three lovely children — 9-year-old twin boys and a 3-year-old girl.

Our much-loved long-term nanny is sadly moving on after finishing university and starting her career in her chosen field, so we are looking for someone new to become part of our family.

The role will primarily involve:

* School and kinder drop-offs and pick-ups
* Caring for our 3-year-old on Wednesdays
* Taking children to after-school activities
* Helping keep the day running smoothly

Regular hours required:

* Tuesdays & Thursdays: school/kinder drop-offs and pick-ups
* Wednesdays: full day

We live in Kooyong, with school in Hawthorn and kinder in Armadale — all within a small radius (under 3km). While driving distances are minimal, a driver’s licence is essential.

We would highly value someone with flexibility for:

* Longer hours during school holidays
* The occasional Monday

We are open-minded about how the role could work and would happily consider:

* Splitting the role across multiple people
* Different employment arrangements
* Expanding the position into a broader home manager role for the right person

Pay is $35–40 per hour, negotiable depending on experience and responsibilities.

I am currently on leave, so the role is not urgently needing to be filled, and we can be flexible with a start date from July onwards for the right person.

We are looking for someone warm, organised and dependable who enjoys being around children and becoming part of family life. If this sounds like a good fit, we would love to hear from you!

We require someone available casually afternoons from 3-7pm for school pick up time on Thursdays and Fridays and the applicant must also be available occasionally nights and weekends. Please don’t apply if generally socially busy on weekends.

The applicant is required to mainly care for the 9 year old but also to drive older children (aged 14 and 16) to sporting activities etc when required.

Full Licence and a safe car is required

We live in Thornbury and are looking for someone to help out with our two young boys (5 & 7).

We hope to hear from you soon.

We are a family of four looking for some regular help 2 to 3 afternoons/evenings a week, ideally someone who is flexible each week with which days. Hours 3/3.30pm until 6.30pm. We have two girls, 5yr and 14 months. The afternoon would involve preparing dinner, walking the dog, pick up form childcare (all within walking distance) and bath/bed routine.

We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic, kind and energetic part time nanny to care for our 14 month old 3 days per week (Mon-Wed). We would love our nanny to be an extension of the family and to be able to help with light duties around the house including meal prep.

Our baby Arthur (Artie) is 7 months old and we are looking to have some reliable casual baby sitters that we can call on when we have social events in the evenings. I think these would mostly be on Friday or Saturday and not that often but wanting to have at least 2-3 babysitters that we can rely on.
Artie is a really happy baby and a pretty good sleeper!
We have just started day care and it's a Spanish speaking day care so ideally someone that speaks Spanish would be good to maintain consistency. We don't speak Spanish ourselves but Artie is being exposed to English and Dutch (Flemish) at home.

I'm looking for a nanny in or around SOUTH YARRA to take twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday): You will need to change, feed, and take them to childcare 5 minutes away, which takes less than 1 hour, between 7-9am in the morning, and on also to collect them from childcare in the evening for 2 hours (6-8pm), and wash/change/feed them before bedtime. In addition, 6 hours during the day on Saturday or Sunday (e.g., 12-6pm).
You should have experience caring for infants; be friendly, warm, and nurturing; understand infants' needs; have good command of English; and perform light house duties and cooking basic food for the kids.
Given nannies conflicting schedules, the job is likely to be divided amongst 2 nannies, each doing 2 days (morning and evening) and one day on the weekend.
Please contact me to discuss.
Thanks,
Ilan

Hello!

We are looking for a temporary nanny for approximately 6 weeks while our current nanny is away on holiday. The dates are the weeks of July 20th - August 28th (approx).

We have three children all at secondary school (year 12, year 10 and year 7) plus a very cute dog.

The job is in North Fitzroy and both before (7.00-9.00) and after school (3.30 - 6.30 approx) care on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and only two Fridays a month. There are also lots of extra babysitting shifts if you are interested. There are extended hours August 4-7 due to parent travel including an overnight stay on August 6th.

The job involves helping the kids in the morning get ready for school, walking the dog both morning and afternoon, driving to after school activities, meal preparation and light housework. Ideally we are looking for someone caring and nurturing. If you love being close to the city and working with a lovely family we are looking forward to meeting you!

Best,

Amy

We are a family of four (from Camberwell) with two young children aged 2 and 4, plus a friendly small dog aged 10.

We’re looking for someone kind, reliable and proactive to help with the kids and general household tasks. This role would likely suit someone looking for some extra work alongside study, another job, or flexible casual hours.

Tasks may include:
- Playing with and entertaining the children, including setting up age-appropriate activities
- Assisting with morning routines (getting dressed, brushing teeth, hair, etc.)
- Helping navigate the occasional sibling disagreement!
- Assisting with preparing breakfast or dinner and encouraging the kids to help clean up afterwards
- Setting up the children’s bedrooms for bedtime
- Laundry and folding
- General tidying and household support
- Helping involve the children in pack-up and cleaning routines where possible
- Ad hoc household help such as unpacking the dishwasher or washing dishes

Please note:
We already have a regular cleaner and a robot vacuum, so no heavy-duty cleaning is required. However, we are looking for someone happy to help keep the household running smoothly alongside caring for the children. For example, if the children are out of the house during part of your shift, we would appreciate help with tidying toys, folding laundry, or resetting kids’ spaces.

Hours:
Exact hours are still being finalised, but shifts will likely include:
- Early mornings before kinder/daycare
- Evenings after we get home
- Possibly some daytime hours on Wednesdays and weekends

We’re flexible and happy to work around your availability, though some early morning or evening availability is essential. Shifts will generally be around 2–3 hours, with some longer occasional shifts on weekends and Wednesdays.

We’re hoping to find someone warm, engaging and comfortable juggling both children and light household support as part of family life.

I’ll be travelling overseas with work and we need some help picking up / dropping off our 3 boys at school while I’m away. Also help making dinner for the boys and walking our dog Frankie.
