Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Richmond VIC

Hello!

Our family is looking for a lovely and reliable babysitter or nanny to help us out on mostly Mondays (7.30-3) and Thursdays (7.30-12ish) on a casual basis. You will be caring for our beautiful 18 month old boy who is loving and very active - he will need someone who is keen to spend lots of time at the park/outdoors. We have no family support here in Melbourne so it would be great to find somone very reliable/consistent that we can trust. During your shift, we would love someone to nutrure and play, take for walks to the park and help with a bit of tiding up in the kitchen after his meals and play area/ lounge room (relating to him only). We are a relaxed family, we enjoy nature and spending lots of time outside. We require someone that has had experience in caring for young toddlers.

Look forward to chatting :)

We are a busy professional couple with 9 year old twin daughters and a 4 year old son. We are in need of a babysitter for this Thursday evening (19th Feb) and potentially Saturday evening too.

We are also looking for help 1 day a week from 7am until 7.00pm on Fridays. This would suit someone local, looking for an opportunity to work long term with a family.

Duties include getting the children ready for school and occassionly helping with drop offs. School pick ups will coordinate with a parent. During the day, we'll also need help managing the household including laundry, groceries, packing weekend bags, running errands, preparing dinner for the family and generally staying on top of household cleanliness and organisation.
We also have a golden retriever who is very friendly and part of our family so we hope you love dogs too.

Hi there!
We live in Richmond, though it's more like Cremorne, and we have a baby who is 7 weeks old (as at December 21) and a son who is 3.5. I'm looking for someone to arrive early - 6am - on his daycare days (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) and help me get him ready for daycare and then walk him up to daycare. Depending on experience with babies, I'd also like it if you can hold the baby for me while I do jobs in the house or I could take my son to daycare instead some days while you hold the baby at home. Once my son is dropped at daycare, I'm hoping you can come back to our house and do an hour or two of housework including clothes washing or dish washing. The morning job would be about 6am - 10am.
In the evening, we're hoping someone can pick my son up from daycare, walk back to our house, and help me get dinner organised before bathing my son and prepping him for bed. The evening would be about 5pm - 7:30pm.
If interested, we could meet at our house and have a chat. Police check, working with children's check and first aid essential. Thank you! Alexis

- School and activity pick ups (we provide a large SUV)
- Preparing dinner and helping with light household tasks (folding laundry and tidying kids' play areas)
- Playing with the kids and assisting with reading/homework as needed

I'm looking for a nanny in or around SOUTH YARRA to take twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday): You will need to change, feed, and take them to childcare 5 minutes away, which takes less than 1 hour, between 7-9am in the morning, and on Fridays, also to collect them from childcare in the evening for 2 hours (6-8pm), and wash/change/feed them before bedtime. In addition, 6 hours during the day on Sunday (e.g., 12-6pm).
You should have experience caring for infants; be friendly, warm, and nurturing; understand infants' needs; have good command of English; and perform light house duties and cooking basic food for the kids.
Please contact me to discuss.
Thanks,
Ilan

We’re a young family based in South Yarra with our sweet two and a half -year-old son. I work from home and am looking for someone to spend quality, engaged time with him while I work in another room. He is a very happy little boy with a beautiful nature who loves playing, music, story time, being outdoors, staying active, and heading out for adventures like trips to the park or library.

We would ideally love someone who speaks fluent Italian so he can be exposed to and grow up around another language (my heritage is Italian). We would also appreciate help with light household tidying as needed — things like dishwasher loading/unloading, hanging washing, and small daily resets.

We are really hoping to find someone looking for a longer-term role, as building consistency and trust is very important to us. Our little one forms lovely bonds with the people around him, so we are hoping to find someone who is planning to be in Australia long-term to help avoid difficult goodbyes and provide him with stability and continuity.

We are a warm, relaxed and loving household and would love to welcome someone who is genuine, present and kind.

Please reach out if this sounds like you — we’d love to organise a proper chat!

Hi, our daughter is 2.5 years old and we now require an energetic and extroverted nanny starting in February for Monday/Thurs/Fri hours during the week and 10-4pm on Sat and Sunday. 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 - $30 per hour. Appreciate your time, thank you.

A nanny that can be a trusted carer for our 2 year old. Someone that can do breakfast, changing and take to the park and read/play with. Light house work (dishes, laundry) also will be appreciated (only ALL pertaining to our little one and if only time permits) your main duty is to look after and keep our little boy HAPPY and SAFE while I step out or answer some work emails/calls. Hours are fixed. Some weekends might also be required for longer hours. Ideally someone that is looking for a permanent nanny job and will grow with our family

We are a warm family seeking a reliable, caring nanny for our two primary-school-aged girls during the school terms.

Afternoons (3:30–5:30/6pm): Collect the girls from inside their Hawthorn West primary school, drive home to Bulleen, prepare snacks and dinner, supervise homework (20 minutes reading), and assist with light household duties.

Permanent school-year role (approx. 40 weeks). Three afternoons per week.
Must have own car, licence, comprehensive insurance and WWCC required. Starting March.

We are a kind and respectful family of four living in the Melbourne CBD looking for some help from April (Term 2) this year:
- kinder and school drop offs and pick-ups for our two children aged 3 and 10;
- supervising 10 year old to do reading, homework and musical instrument practice Mon-Thurs
- ad hoc evening babysitting on a week night or weekend if you are available

Hours would be around 6:45am to 9.15am and 3pm to 6.30pm Monday to Friday during school term. School holidays off. Open to a part-time, casual or contractor arrangement. The role involves commuting between the city, St Kilda and Essendon to drop off and collect the kids at different schools. We are open to someone using public transport (we live near Southern Cross station) or their own vehicle.

We are open to a live-in arrangement and on offer we have a bedroom available with a queen bed, TV, unlimited wifi and lots of streaming subscriptions, direct access to a bathroom shared with the kids and food provided (including evening meals with the family). A live in arrangement might suit an au pair from overseas or a local university student who might be looking for CBD accommodation. For a live out arrangement we are also open to splitting the role casually or part-time between two people. We currently have an au pair living with us who is great, and is finishing up at the start of April.

Looking for a caring and proactive person to help our little family with before and after school care for our two boys, currently attending local kindy and primary school. Possibility for additional hours term 2 onwards and also for casual weekend babysitting if available. Light meal prep for the boys would be required for the after-school days.

I am looking for a part-time nanny to provide after school care for my 5 year old son Thomas for the rest of the year. Thomas is an intelligent and active boy who loves Lego, learning and playing in our local park. I offer very good working conditions and live in proximity to parks and playgrounds. It would be optimal if you could help to prepare the evening meal for me and my two older sons. Sometimes I need to work later but usually I am home before 7 pm, and some flexibility will be required. I need somebody who can confirm that they will be available to collect Thomas from school in Hawthorn at 3.30 from Mondays through Thursdays for the rest of the year.

Seeking regular after school care for my 11year old son & 9 year old daughter.
Ideally 3-4 days per week and can be flexible on which days these are.

They attend different schools with the 1st pickup at 3pm, then 3:30pm then either hang out at home, go to the park, take the dog for a walk or visit a cafe for an afternoon snack.

Own car & license is essential.

We are looking for a reliable, warm and confident nanny to support with our second child arriving in April. Approximately 4-5 hours a day for 4 days a week (possibility to increase over time). Experience with newborns is a must to be able to support feeding, sleeping etc. There will also be some housekeeping tasks required including laundry, tidying, basic meal prep, simple cleaning. We also have a toddler who will be in child care and a medium sized hypoallergenic dog. We’re looking for someone interested in a longer-term role. Vaccinations need to be up to date (including flu/COVID/TDAP)

We are a busy family living in Prahran with three kids aged 6, 10 and 11, looking for someone to pick kids up from school on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and possibly other evenings or weekends if that is of interest. This usually includes bringing kids home from school or occasionally to after school sport, and making sure they do homework, and play (screen free). Cooking their dinner (usually pretty simple stuff) and tidying up (ideally encouraging kids to clean up after themselves) . We are looking for someone who is able to balance having fun with kids but also not afraid to be firm and show them who’s in charge. If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you!!!
If you’re interested, we’d love to meet you to see if we might be a good fit.
