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.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi, my name is Ana and I'm looking for a nanny to look after and entertain my 3-year-old daughter, Evelyn, and my 16-month-old son, Harrison, 2 days per week for 2 hours at a time so I can do some work from home. May increase to three days if all goes well. At this stage, I'm thinking Monday, Tuesday or Thursday between 2:30-4:30pm. I've set the rate at $25p/h since I'll be home and can handle toileting/nappy changes, but happy to discuss the pay for the right applicant. Experience is highly desirable, but since I'll be at home and available as needed, I'm really looking for someone who can be caring, engaging, playful, patient and proactive with my kids. The role might involve providing some snacks and some light tidy up afterwards, but on the whole, I think it's a pretty "easy" role.

Hi, I'm looking for a part time nanny to do the school pick and afternoon care of my two kids until I finish work. This would initially be for 1 afternoon a week, with the possibility to increase after a month or so.

I have a 9 year old daughter and 6 year old son. You would pick them up from school at 3.15 and then either bring them home or take them to a class or activity. If time permits on the day, it'd be great if you could get dinner started. I'd be home by 6pm. Both kids are very easygoing and happy to entertain themselves, and they don't have any soecial needs or dietary requirements.
