Looking for a babysitter for tomorrow starting at 10 am to 6pm. Someone experienced,reliable,has all checks and references.

Hello! Seeking LIVE IN demi/ AU pair- Not babysitters.

Due to providing food and accomodation this will not be an hourly rate position but a lump sum/week. We encourage candidates to seek alternate work where possible as long as it doesn't conflict with our requirements.

We are seeking a person to help our family out during the week. We have a set of 2 year old twins and a nearly 7 year old. We are a pet free, smoke free and allergy free house hold. The work is rather straight forward and our eldest daughter knows the routine.

The work is after school hours between 4-6pm Monday-Friday. The hours may adjust and change as it depends on my partners work and availability so sometimes he is home and we won't need assistance and sometimes he works extra and we need extra help. So flexibility is key for us.

I am a paediatric nurse and we have a construction business and a start up business too! I have rearranged all after school activities to the weekend so it's just feeding the kids dinner and bathing.

We hope to hear from you soon - Alice & Paula

Hi all. We’re looking for a casual babysitter for our 19 month old daughter Ada. We’re located in West Footscray. We don’t have any family living locally so are looking for someone to build a relationship with. We only need care occasionally but would also like to book approx 2 hours per fortnight (either as 1x 2 hrs or 2 x 1 hrs) ongoing so that Ada could get to know and feel comfortable with her sitter. I’m on leave from work but doing an internship on Thursdays so Thursday morning availability for the odd time my husband can’t look after her then would be needed (my husband has flexible work times so usually takes her then). Daytime availability will be needed.

Ada is a happy and interested toddler, loves the playground and obsessed with cats at the moment, and is great at communicating through both words and signs (she’s not deaf but knows several Auslan signs). I’m a counsellor / social worker and my husband works in education. We're keen for someone who can immerse themselves in her world, give her the time and attention she needs to communicate, is patient, fun, and can go at her pace.

Please let me know your hourly rate and why you think you may be a good fit in your message. As we're looking to build an ongoing relationship with a sitter, please only message if you're living permanently in Australia. Looking forward to hearing from you!

We are looking for a caring and reliable nanny to look after our 1-year-old son, Dillon, one day a week (9am-5pm). We have daycare arranged for the rest of the week, but we’d love someone to join our family and help with his growth and development on this one day.

Details:
Start Date: Ideally a couple of weeks before the Christmas break
Regular Schedule: Starting Monday, 6th January, for one day a week
Hours: 9am to 5pm

A little about Dillon: Dillon was born premature and is still on the smaller side for his age. He’s currently crawling and exploring the world around him, though not yet walking. We’re looking for a nanny who can nurture his development, with a focus on language skills, physical activity, and engaging play. If you have experience working with toddlers (especially those in the 1–2-year-old age range), or any relevant qualifications, that’s a big plus!

In addition to the weekly care, we’re also hoping to find someone who might be available for occasional babysitting, if that works for you.

If you’re kind, patient, and enjoy creating fun learning experiences, we’d love to hear from you! Please get in touch with your experience, and feel free to ask any questions.

Looking forward to meeting you.

My seven year old son and five year old daughter are the lights of my life and they spend near 50/50 time between their mom and myself.

Our babysitter for the last four years or so is now going to be a full-time teacher and we're so proud of her but that means we need to start looking. She will also be happy to get whomever works with us up to speed.

We will miss her but are excited to meet you!

I am looking for someone to assist with drop offs and pick ups for school and kinder on Monday and Thursday. It would be for a couple of hours in the morning and in the afternoon. A drivers licence would be required but you can use our car. Our boys are 6 and 9 and attend kinder and school. Our boys are thoughtful sensitive kids who enjoy lego, sport and reading. Our little one is still at kinder is highly sensitive and requires lots of patience and reassurance. They would be short shifts and we would pay the full hour and would consider a higher rate for experienced baby sitters.

We live in Brunswick and require help two to three days per week. I have a one year old boy and an almost 3 year old girl. The children have good structure and are well behaved. There is no requirement for cooking or cleaning, just interactive play, careful care and attention.
