Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Richmond VIC

We’re looking for a warm, organised person to care for our two boys (6 and 11).

Tuesdays and Wednesdays 2:30-6:30 PM with optional extra afternoon/weekend/evening hours.

You’d cover: school pick-up, afternoon play and homework, kids’ dinner prep, and light tidying (lunchboxes, dishes).

You’ll need: driver’s licence [car provided], current WWC, first aid certificate, and references.

$35/hour. To apply, please send a short note about your experience and availability.

A close, down-to-earth family of four with two girls, aged 8.5 and 5, is looking for a reliable, warm nanny to care for them Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2pm–6pm, starting as soon as the right person is found. Additional support will be needed during school holidays, plus occasional evening babysitting for date nights.

Please note this role isn't a fit if you need extended leave or are away for multiple weeks at a time, particularly over the summer period (excluding week before Christmas until mid-January).

About the family
A quiet, family-oriented household that values routine, warmth, and a wholesome, grounded environment for the girls. Both parents work, though they're sometimes home during the day, and are very hands-on and present in their children's lives. First and foremost, the family is looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring — someone with strong personal values who will treat their home like part of the family.

About the role
The nanny will care for both girls together, keeping them engaged with arts and crafts, outdoor play, cooking, reading, and imaginative games (the girls don't use iPads, and screen time is kept minimal). Duties include:

School pick-up on Tuesdays and Thursdays
Light laundry (washing and drying only, no ironing)
Grocery shopping before school pick-up
Helping keep the house tidy (general errands, accepting packages, unpacking the dishwasher)
Returning the house to a tidy state at the end of each day

Pay & requirements

$33/hour + super, paid properly through payroll
Permanent Australian Residency
Valid Working With Children Check
Valid First Aid and CPR certification
Experience with young children (open to someone newer to caregiving with the right qualities)
Two strong references
Driver's licence
Non-smoker/non-vaper

Please get in touch with a bit about yourself, your experience, and your availability.

I’ll be travelling overseas with work and we need some help picking up / dropping off our 3 boys at school while I’m away. Also help making dinner for the boys, tidying house and walking our dog Frankie.

Hi,

We are looking for help 5 days (Mon-Fri) a week after 2 pm for around 6 hrs a day. We have a 12 week old which needs to be taken care while we attend to our 5 year old when she comes back from school. We are located in toorak. Please let me know if anyone is interested.

We’re looking for a warm, fun and energetic male babysitter/manny to become a regular part of our family’s support network and spend time with our two children, aged 8 and 10.

We’d particularly love to find someone who genuinely enjoys hanging out with kids and is happy getting outdoors and doing active things — kicking a soccer ball or footy, shooting hoops, bike rides, trips to the park, swimming, or whatever the kids are interested in. Our 8-year-old son would especially benefit from someone who can help him build confidence with ball sports in a really casual, fun way — we’re definitely not looking for formal coaching!

Our 10-year-old daughter may sometimes want to join in and at other times do her own thing, so we’re looking for someone who is equally happy spending time with both kids and following their interests.

Both children have lots of interests beyond sport and we’d love someone who can just enjoy being with them — whether that means Minecraft, Lego, drawing, playing games, going on an outing or having a kick at the park.

This isn’t intended to be a super-structured role. We’re really looking for the right person: someone kind, responsible, engaged and playful who could ideally build a great ongoing relationship with the kids. It could suit a uni student, teacher/PE teacher in training, sports coach or someone already working with children.

Initially we’re thinking a few hours once or twice a week, with flexibility for additional babysitting, weekends and school holidays if it suits everyone.

A current Working With Children Check is essential, and we’d also require references and a police check. A driver’s licence, first aid qualification and previous experience with primary-school-aged children would be highly regarded.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy who really likes kids and will make spending time together feel like fun rather than another organised activity.

I'm looking for 1-2 nannies in or near SOUTH YARRA to take my twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday). In the morning, it's quite easy - you change their nappy from the night, give them a formula bottle, and take them to childcare, which is 5 minutes away, between 7-8am in the morning, so it can take about 30-40 minutes total.
In the evening, you pick them up from childcare at 6pm, then feed (solid food)/wash/change them before going to bed at 8pm, so 2 hours total (6-8pm)
In addition, each nanny does 1 day on the weekend, for example, Saturday Or Sunday from 12-5pm (or 1-6pm).
