Looking for an English-speaking nanny for my 9-year-old son.

My son is Russian and has just started school in Melbourne. He speaks very little English, so I’m looking for someone to help him learn to understand and speak English through everyday communication.

After school, spend time with him: go for walks, play, talk, read, do simple activities, or cook together.

He is an active, kind boy who loves soccer, badminton, running, climbing, cooking, and helping in the kitchen.

If you have experience with children and enjoy spending time with them, please send me a message.



Thanks, Anya!

Our ideal nanny is someone responsible with good communication skills, friendly punctual, and proactive.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Babysitter/Nanny Wanted – Tue & Thu, Brunswick West

We're looking for a warm, capable, fun person to fill some childcare gaps for our family: an energetic, bright 4-year-old boy and a bubbly 15-month-old girl. Non-smoking, pet-free home.
The role:
- Tuesday, 3–7pm: Care for our daughter, pick up our son from kinder, play, and start the evening routine
- Thursday, 8am–6pm: Full-day care of both children
- Some light housework — things like tidying up and meal prep for the kids, and occasional laundry.
(Happy to swap which day gets the full-day shift if that suits you better.)

Kinder, the library, and parks are all walking distance from home. A driver's licence and a car that fits child seats would be a bonus. First aid training looked on favourably — one of our children has asthma. A current Working With Children Check is essential.
If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you!

We are very experienced with Nannie’s and will truly value as a part of the village.

We are looking for Care one day a week for our 2.5 year-old boy and 10 month old girl.
Ideally, we start in September with one of the children, and next year move to caring for both children.
The day would involve lots of outdoor activities going to the park, scooter rides, going to a cafe and lunchtime naps.

We are a small family of 3 and are looking for a nanny for our 9 year old son. Our son is a happy energetic loving child who is very good at math's, reading, music and spelling. We would like our nanny to be able to drive safely, pick him up from school, actively engage with his homework, projects, learning (writing and reading) and assist with his care in the evening - dinner and bedtime routine. Having a car and driving safely is very important. Housework will be a part of the job description. Light cooking and cleaning will be involved. We are both busy professionals and need someone who is trustworthy, structured/ organised, punctual and very reliable. Active engagement with his studies is important to us. Most importantly, a kind, patient and loving personality is essential for this job, given our son has autism and ADHD (diagnosed).

Hi, our daughter is 2.5 years old and we now require an experienced, energetic, caring and extroverted nanny (who is at least 21 years old) every week on Thursday from 12 - 4.30 with the chance of additional hours as familiarity increases. Its very important to be talkative and playful as she feels more comfortable with such personalities. We prefer a good history of nannying alongside having first aid certificate, police check, working with children check and references. 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 - $40 per hour. Appreciate your time, thank you.
