Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Kooyong VIC

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!

Hello Nannies,

I’m looking for someone to help with afternoons/evenings for my two kids (9YO girl and 14YO boy) on mon and tues.
Includes school pick up (mostly for the 9YO as the 14YO can often walk home), taking them to activities, organise dinner, put away kids washing, tidy toy room, make lunches for the kids the next day. At this stage, monday is swimming lessons and Tuesday is tennis lesson and footy training.
If you can walk the dog before school pick up that’s also welcomed but would mean a start time of 230 instead of 330. Finish time will usually be around 7. Pay is 30 dollars per hour plus 20 dollars for petrol per week (2 days working)

Please reach out if you have any questions.

Thankyou,
Emma

Hi everyone, we’re a friendly and easy going family looking for an experienced, friendly and reliable nanny to help us care for our 18 month old son while our regular nanny is away from late June to early August. The dates are 29 June-7 August and hours are 10am-6:00pm Tuesdays, and 7:30-5:30pm Wednesdays and Fridays. We’re based in Armadale and have one 18 month old son and a very friendly golden retriever, so would love to find someone who has experience with toddlers and is comfortable with dogs.

On Tuesdays, our son is as daycare so the role is helping with some light household stuff (laundry, grocery shopping etc) before picking him up around 3:00 pm. On Wednesdays and Fridays he’ll be with you all day, and I mostly work from home on those days so am also around.

If you’re interested, able to commit to the full period and can provide references I’d love to hear from you.

We are a warm, busy professional family looking for a reliable, confident nanny to assist with our two children, aged 6 and 7, before and after school.

This role would suit a responsible university student or an experienced nanny who enjoys working with school‑aged children and values routine and responsibility. Our previous nanny was with us for six years and is retiring, so we are looking for someone we can trust and work with long‑term. The role would suit someone who lives locally to Armadale.

Shifts available:
• Afternoons: 3:00 PM – 6:30 PM Tuesday and Thursdays.


Responsibilities include:

Afternoon / evening routine

• Supervise homework

Household tasks (essential part of the role):
• Grocery shopping
• Laundry and general household tidying (we have a cleaner attend weekly)
• Helping maintain routines and order related to the children

About our family:
Our children are confident, affectionate, and engaging. Manners, consistency, and routine are very important to our family. We are looking for someone who is calm, enthusiastic, and confident with children, and who can become a reassuring presence when we are not home.

Whilst we understand availability can change with uni semesters, we need someone whose availability is consistent week to week. We do not want to be negotiating availability week to week. Please only apply if you are available Tuesday/Thursday afternoons evenings.

Requirements:
• Responsible, reliable, and organised
• Own car and confident driving children
• Experience with children (formal or informal)
• Positive, confident manner

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.
