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!
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.
Hola, our daughter is 18 months old and we now require Spanish speaking nanny at least every Thursday 10-5pm and Saturday 10 - 5pm. 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 - $30 per hour. Appreciate your time, thank you.
Hi my husband and I are busy lawyers residing in Ivanhoe and require a nanny to assist with our 20month old son 1-2 afternoons a week (Monday/ Tuesdays). We will require pick up from day care, preparation of snacks and dinner. Candidate to have license/ car seat and all requisite checks to care for children and experience.
Dear prospective nanny, we are in need of a reliable, caring and compassionate nanny to assist with the care of our sporty 15 year old daughter. If you love sport, then please apply!
She goes to a school not far from home, but she trains after school every day and occasionally, in the morning. We are looking for someone who is able to support us with before school care (7am to 9am) and after school from 3.30 to 7.30 (30 hours a week).
I am looking for a nanny to help and pick up 3x a week (3-6pm). There would be some light household tasks as well eg. preparing dinner for the children, unpacking the dishwasher, folding washing. We have 2 children (girl who is 10.5 son who is 6 ). We are after someone who can keep to our routine, is very tidy and calm. We would like someone who is local (ie. within 5km of Hawthorn East). Having a licence and confidence driving is critical. Ability to help with homework and experience with neurodivergent children looked upon favourably.
We’re looking for a special person to care for our wonderful 4-year-old daughter, who has a physical disability and epilepsy. She is full of life, loves to play, chat, and engage with everyone.
Our amazing nanny is off to pursue a career in nursing, so we’re searching for someone equally great to take over. Ideally, we’d love a nursing or medical student who is confident, calm, and responsible—someone who can follow an emergency plan if a seizure occurs (though these are infrequent and mostly happen at night). She also requires physical assistance throughout the day.
We’re looking for care on Mondays (during the day) with potential for occasional extra hours on other days/evenings. We are based in Hawthorn East.
If this sounds like you (or someone you know), please reach out—I’d be happy to share more details.

Single mum & toddler named Jasper, we are currently in Thornbury! We have a small dog named Mazda who will want to hang out with you guys.
Im originally from Perth so I don’t have a lot of family here and sometimes just need a little break some nights. My ex partners folks usually help us out but understandably not always available. Would love some help at short notice but will aim to do planned evenings too.
Parenting solo, sometimes I just get a bit exhausted and need a few hours to recharge. Or even to just clean the house. I would love some evenings out with friends too. Keen to trial some a few hours first with someone and find out if it’s a good fit.
Jasper is a happy cheeky little guy, he’s been working on his speech in therapy once a week and we are seeing huge improvements. His favourite toy is his Buzz Lightyear, when mummy needs to get some chores done or it’s a horribly hot day, we te d to pop on some Toy Story!
Hi All,
I'm a parent of a young boy, who is 8 years old.
I work casual hours, weeknights and weekends, any time during the day (but never overnights).
I'm seeking a Nanny / Mothers help that is qualified in Early Education or studying towards.
Payment is via an agency so I get the government subsidy. This is not a cash in hand role.
A Nanny that is engaging and loves working with kids.
My boy is super easy to look after but is a little fussy when it comes to eating, so someone that is confident in the kitchen that knows a little more than the basics would be ideal. I provide all meals most of the time but your input on occasion would be welcomed.
My work is adhoc, you will be one of a few nannies, so no pressure to always be available.
Please get in touch if you wish to chat further :)
We have a beautiful little girl called Matilda who was born on the 31st December so is almost 4 months old. We are looking for a part time nanny to start in July (with some casual babysitting from now until then) as I return to part time work post maternity leave.

We would appreciate someone who has experience with infants and young babies especially with introduction of solid food and encouraging reliable sleep patterns.

Our daughter is 7 years old and a bit of a legend. She loves dinosaurs, imaginary games, art and soccer. She’s funny, energetic, a gorgeous person… and yes, we may be her biggest fan.
We are looking for a babysitter/nanny to help with between two and four days pick up after school. We’d also love some help when the school holidays roll around. Our daughter goes to school in Kew, and we have a lovely home in Surrey Hills. Some days she has activities like tennis at the local tennis club, and other days we’re happy for you to come home together and explore (along with the odd bit of homework).
We want to partner with someone who shares our daughter's passions and energy. We leave the tv off and world around us turned up. We welcome exposure to things like science experiments, museums and galleries, particularly on the holidays.
