Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Murrumbeena VIC

I have two boys (aged 7 and 9).
I need someone to do pick up from school at 3:30 and hangout with them until about 6pm on Monday-Friday.
At home, I need a bit of a hand - emptying dishwasher, getting dinner on and making lunchboxes for the next day. Where possible a little spot cleaning or laundry but nothing overwhelming. There will be some travelling to basketball training as well.

Hello!
We need a nanny 3* - 6 pm Monday - Thursday, mainly for our 8 yo boy (we also have a 11 yo girl and a 13 yo boy).

It is a great and easy job. Our 8 yo is easy going with a great sense of humour.

Role involves: walking to school to collect 8 yo, driving kids (mainly 8 yo) to nearby activities, supervising homework, preparing dinner, light housework (eg hanging/folding washing). You will need a drivers' licence but can use our car.

Our kids are fun and kind and are pretty independent and organised.

We need someone who is reliable and capable, and sets clear boundaries. Rate negotiable.

We need someone who can commit until mid December please (we'll need a nanny 2027 too so can be ongoing role). We can be flexible for things like uni exams and generally don't need help during school holidays.
Thank you!!
