Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Oakleigh VIC

I am looking for a babysitter/childminder for my six year old daughter for after school/evenings with some flexibility as my work schedule can vary.

Afternoon pick-ups from school may involve taking my daughter to after school activities, preparing her evening meal and putting her to bed.

There will be a minimum of 2-3 days a week.

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 amazing nannies!

We are a family of four (plus two small, friendly dogs) looking for a warm, reliable and active nanny to care for our two energetic boys, who will be 4 and 2 years old by early 2027. Our beloved long-time nanny is sadly returning home to Scotland after several years with us. We are looking for a special person our boys can build that same, close connection with.

Because I am a Master's student, my roster changes slightly between semesters, so this role is perfect for someone who can be flexible and adjust to a dynamic schedule!

The Schedule:
- For the remainder of this year: casual evening babysitting (Fri/Sat) to get to know the boys and build familiarity.
- December: Some casual half-days (daytime care).
- Late Jan to Early March 2027: Official role starts at 2 full days per week (8:00 am – 3:30 pm).
- March - Mid-Year (Semester 1): Approx. 14–15 hours per week (e.g. 3 half-days from 8:00 am – 1:00 pm). Exact days/times confirmed mid-February once my timetable is finalised.
- University Semester Breaks: Returns to 2 full days per week (8:00 am – 3:30 pm)

Key Responsibilities:
- Keeping the boys active and engaged without screen time. Managing a transition to quiet play, drawing or reading with the 4yo while the 2yo takes his midday nap.
- Outings & Kinder Runs: Taking the boys to local parks and the library. Managing morning drop-offs for our 4-year-old at kindergarten using public transport (he attends 3 days a week).
- Preparing snacks and meals.
- Light Household Help: Folding the kids' clean laundry, unstacking the dishwasher and ensuring play areas are tidied up together after activities.

Our 4yo is anaphylactic to nuts and is currently outgrowing an egg allergy. It is essential that you feel confident and competent identifying reactions and administering an EpiPen if an emergency arises.

We are seeking a mature adult with experience who can commit to the full 2027 calendar year. It is important that you are reliable and arrive on time. This position requires someone who can confidently manage toddler boundaries and big emotions with a caring and gentle approach.

If this sounds like the perfect fit for you and your schedule, we would love to hear from you!
Please send through your experience, qualifications and a bit about yourself.
