Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Lara VIC

Hello!
My name is Dom. My Husband and I are looking for an experienced Nanny for our son starting in late May / early June. He will be 3 months old.
We also have a much loved loyal mini groodle!
I am working in the AFL and University sector and my Husband works in the engineering sector.
There is some variability with my work schedule in regards to working hours and days however we will typically require support on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursday / Friday. We will be able to provide advanced notice in regards to our requirements but would appreciate some flexibility.

Rate of pay to be discussed and will depend on experience / additional qualifications.

Looking forward to hearing from you and having you part of our sons journey!

Hello! Looking for someone to hangout with our little lady on Wednesday’s! She is 19 months old and a good mix of sass and sweet. One of her parents is usually always home during the day, but you and she would have the downstairs area to yourself, while we work. Happy for you to take her out, explore or just hang here at home.

She is on one nap for a couple of hours where you can hang & relax… but would be responsible for hanging while she’s awake.

We’re a warm and easy-going family looking for a kind, reliable nanny/house manager to help care for our two lovely girls, aged 3 and 5.

Days: 2 days per week
Hours: 1:00pm – 5:30pm (with potential for additional hours as needed)

Your main responsibilities will include:
1. Household support including shopping, cleaning, laundry, and general tidying
2. Picking the girls up from kindy and school
3. Engaging them in fun, age-appropriate activities at home
4. Preparing the family dinner

We're looking for someone who is nurturing, organised, and happy to pitch in wherever needed. Ideally, you’ll have experience with young children and enjoy creating a calm, playful environment.

There will also be occasional opportunities for extra hours when we have social commitments.

If this sounds like a role you'd love, we’d love to hear from you!

About us:
I am a single mum who works full time. I'm pretty laid back and flexible, my focus is on finding someone who can connect with my son and have fun with him while I am working.
My son is 6 years old and full of beans. He loves dinosaurs, arts and crafts, Pokemon, Avatar, science experiments, drawing and and making up imaginary games to play.

About you:
You're fun, energetic and keen to get involved in games and activities with kids. You're a good communicator, honest and not too serious.
Ideally you have a car, a working with children's check and first aid certificate (or willing to get a WWCC and First Aid Cert in the first month).

About the job:
Minimum 2 afternoons per week, 3.15pm - 5.30pm which includes pick up from school, dinner and bedtime routine.
Some weeks may be 3 days or may be later than 5.30pm. I will always provide notice the week before of days/hours required and will work with you to be flexible to your needs as well, whether that be studying, holidays or other jobs you might have.
If for whatever reason I need to cancel the day of, I'll still pay you for 2 hours to cover the late cancellation.
It would be great if you can also help out occasionally on school holidays or weekends, but it's not a deal breaker.

We’re a fun family with two beautiful boys aged 6 and 8. Our kiddos are neurodivergent, they attend the local Catholic school (200m from our home), AND they're full of life, curiosity, and a lot of energy! Husband and I are Canadian expats and full time professionals who mostly work in the city or offsite; work committments and the absence of informal support in Melbourne have faciliated our need to search for the right person to work with our family. We're flexible and easy going, and love sharing family trips and excursions with our boys.

We're looking for the right person to help the children thrive, engage them, and give them a chance to chill out after school, with plenty of giggles and smiles along the way. Experience working with autistic and/or children with ADHD is ideal; if you are warm and patient, our boys love making connections with adults - and the adults often find a relationship with our children rewarding!

Duties:
School pick-up; car not required
Light housework (mostly just tidying up, maybe folding clothes in a quiet moment)
Preparing dinner (we love simple, tasty meals, often using meal kits - but would be happy to shop for your recipes)
Adhoc depending-on-the-vibe activities might include homework, supervising the use of educational apps, practicing piano, occasional outing to the library, the opp shop, park, etc.
