Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Mentone VIC

Seeking a nanny educator for our 2 year old girl and 6 month old boy, up to 2 days/16 hours a week based in Parkdale. We require care on a Monday (full day) but can be flexible as to exact hours and other days (eg 2 x half days, etc).

Our two year old has some medical issues (now well controlled) and developmental delay. She has the developmental age of around a 10-12 month old and is not yet walking or speaking but we hope she’ll continue to progress to reach these milestones. You will be a valued part of her learning and development journey. She is a happy, giggly, easy-going sweet girl who is a little bit shy initially but loves silly games, music and sensory play.

We are looking for someone who:
- Is physically able to do some manual handling (~15kgs lifting in and out of high chair, cot, etc)
- Is relaxed, playful, silly and has a strong grounding in early education and learning principles
- Has a drivers license (using our car)
- Is confident in first aid, has WWCC, police check and references
- Is willing to undergo additional training for a medical condition and in-case-of-emergency management (we will fund this)
- Will undertake light housework (tidying, folding laundry, child snack prep) at end of day or when time permits

Desirable: to be neuroaffirming and have knowledge of (or willing to learn) Key Word Signs

Start date: around September but we are willing to be flexible for the right fit for our family. Initially the 6 month old will need care for only some of the time but will build up to full days next year. We would love someone who can ideally commit 1 year or longer.

Please write to us if you think you could be a match

Hi, I’m a solo mum of twin 6-year-old boys based in Beaumaris. I’m looking for some regular help with after-school pick-ups from Camberwell Primary School and bringing the boys home to Beaumaris, ideally a couple of afternoons each week during the school term.

I’m looking for someone warm, relaxed and confident with kids who would enjoy getting to know the boys and becoming a regular part of their routine. They’re energetic, funny and affectionate, and speak both French and English, so French would be a huge bonus (but definitely not essential).

You’ll need your own reliable car and to be comfortable with the drive from Camberwell to Beaumaris. I can provide booster seats.

Reliability and consistency are important, as I plan my work commitments around the school pick-ups. I’m ideally looking for someone who can commit on an ongoing basis rather than just for a few weeks.

There may also be opportunities for additional babysitting or extra hours from time to time if you’re interested.

Rate is negotiable depending on experience. Please get in touch if this sounds like it might suit you — I’d love to have a chat.

Hi. We are a family of 5 living in Sandringham. We are exploring options for support with drop offs and collections on Mondays and Thursdays. Hours would typically be 7.30-9am and 3.30-6pm.

This will primarily be for our two school age children, but may occasionally also include our 4year old, who is at kinder locally.

Most sessions this will include taking them home (via activities) and preparing dinner for them.

It is important that you have your own car and ideally have allergy/anaphylaxis training.

Whilst we are looking for regular support we do also sometimes need a little flexibility, as there may be times due to special occasions, end of term, sickness etc. that we prefer to collect the girls ourselves.

If this could be of interest to you then we would love to discuss in more detail. Equally if you may be interested but need more details, please reach out. Thanks. We look forward to hearing from you.

Given he is eligible for funding the person must have an early child care qualification eg cert 3 in early childcare or currently studying it. Competitive hourly rate

What the role involves
* School drop off and pick up (will compensate for petrol)
* My son is fairly independent with getting ready and will be ready for school by the time the person arrives at 7:30 am. I usually have lunches packed but on the odd occassion it may involve finishing lunch off.
* Playing with him in the morning
* After school helping with homework
* Reminding him to have a shower (he can shower himself)

Essential criteria
* Experience with children
* Current first Aide
* Own Car
* Studying or qualifications in early child care

Desirable criteria

My son is a chilled 3 mth old baby. I need someone for Thursdays to care for my baby in my home while I conduct video conference meetings from 10am to 6pm.

Hello wonderful community and hopefully hello to our forever nanny!

We are looking for a nanny in Aspendale, for our larger than life, rambunctious boy! He is absolutely bursting with energy, excitement and lots of joy.

We would love our nanny to really become part of our family as we have very little support and miss a grandmother figure in his life. A nurturer, warm character, but equally someone who has high energy, loves to laugh and can keep up with this larger than life clown.

Min 30 hours per week, paid each week (even if worked less then 30), max 35, but days and exact hours may vary each week. A typical working week would be 2 full days 8-5:30 and one to two half days 8-1pm. We are both doctors so our schedules are a little variable week by week so would require someone flexible. Weekdays only and no evenings required.

WWCC and first aid is a must.

Starting asap, and going to February minimum, hopefully longer. As mentioned we would love an older female who is looking to adopt a family forever. For the right person we are willing to move mountains!

Kindly contact me, thank you! ☺️

Hey there, we're looking for a warm, reliable sitter for our 2-year-old son in Chelsea Heights. He's non-stop, loves being outside and always on the move. The goal is to give my wife a proper break during the day. You'd be playing with and supervising him, cleaning up after him, snacks, nappy changes, lunch and the nap routine.

If there's downtime while he's sleeping, tidying his toys, the dishwasher or a load of washing is appreciated and paid at the same rate, but he always comes first. Our eldest is with us fortnightly.

My wife and I are looking for someone to do 2-3 afternoons a week with our daughter Camilla (7) after school.

She is at Brighton Primary school, and we would ideally be looking for assistance between 3:30 - 5:30 on Monday to Wednesday, or at least two of those days.

She usually has some activities after school so it would mainly be taking her to those and then home for a bit before we are back from work. Camilla is extremely low maintenance and has always had a great relationship with any babysitters she has had (we have never had a more permanent nanny).

If you are interested, we would love to organise a time to meet and see if it is a good fit.

We live in Brighton East.

Cheers.

Happy to consider splitting it between two nanny's if the fit is better.

We are a very fun household that is lively and we are very kind and generous people.
My LinkedIn is @lauracraig84 if you want to take a look.

- Warm, and likes working with children
- Has a working with children check certificate,

Hi there! I’m starting a new job shortly and I need help picking up my son, Benjamin, from 3 year old kinder in Carnegie on Thursday and Fridays.

We are a 10 minute walk away from the kinder or a short drive (800m)

We are looking for a kind, reliable and energetic babysitter/nanny to help care for our three children (ages 10, 8 and 6) after school in Brighton.

The role is approximately 3 hours per afternoon, Monday to Friday, and would suit someone who enjoys spending time with school-aged children.

Nanny wanted — Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, 9am–5pm — starting early February 2027.

We’re a young family in Brighton looking for a warm, reliable nanny to join us three days a week from the start of February.

You’d mainly be caring for our one-year-old — a happy, easygoing little one who’s a genuine delight to be around. Our three-year-old may also be home one day (subject to daycare availability), so at times it’d be both of them together.

These three days line up with the days one of us works part-time; the other works full-time. On most of them, one of us will be home working from home — so there’s a hand nearby if it’s ever truly needed.

Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. There may be some flexibility for the right person.
