Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Ripponlea VIC

Hi! My name’s Veronica and I’m a solo mum by choice to a gorgeous 3 month old boy Phoenix. I’m looking for help with Phoenix 1-2 half days a week. I’m flexible on which days (any weekday other than Thursdays) and time of day. Prior experience with newborns is a must (with references) and qualified nurses a bonus (with potential to negotiate hourly rate). Thanks!

We're looking for a nanny to help on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
You'll mostly be looking after our 6 month old baby and 3 year old girl.
The role involves light housework – washing, dishes, rubbish. We do most of the meal prep but you can help with that.
The kids love being outside so lots of adventures.
We want someone easy going, responsible, kind. Hoping for someone long term. Must have experience with babies.

Hi! We are a family based in St Kilda east looking for some help after school. We have 2 kids, a boy who is 4 and a girl who has just turned 2.

We are hoping to find someone local who is interested in 2 -3 hours of work 2/3 times per week in the afternoon/evening. The best days for us would be Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 3.00-6.00pm. Starting immediately.

The job is picking up and looking after the kids, prepping dinner and organising our home at the end of a long day for us! This would include any light cleaning / tidying up. We also have two very friendly staffy mixes so must love dogs!

We would love someone local who is looking for some guaranteed long time work and will grow with our family.

Care is required for one child, aged 20 months, in the family home. Due to the nature of the hours, this role must be job-shared between two or more educators to ensure safe, sustainable workloads and educator wellbeing.
This is an agency-based role (not private employment). Educators are employed by VPM and supported through structured onboarding, compliance processes, and ongoing professional support.

This position is for a qualified early childhood educator, not a nanny role. Educators work within the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and provide intentional, developmentally appropriate education and care in line with ACECQA and Department of Education requirements.
The focus is on building a secure relationship with the child, supporting routines, and offering meaningful learning experiences through play.

We have had a nanny for 10 years now and so we are experienced and committed employers. We are looking for someone who can commit to a longer term role and become part of our family.

While quality childcare is obviously still the priority, as the kids get older we are finding the nanny role involves a mix of childcare and helping us with the kids’ school/kinder/sport logistics and general house keeping.

Please get in touch if you are interested. Looking to interview (either over the phone or in person) in the second half of January.

Thanks very much in advance!

Ideally we'd like someone who has had some experience looking after babies and feels comfortable: preparing age appropriate meals, going on small outings, young toddler play etc. Light cleaning duties include: wiping down highchair, packing up toys, cleaning up kitchen after eating etc. The start date is flexible but we are keen to lock someone in, so if this sounds of interest to you please get in touch :) Thanks! Talia (PS, WWCC & first aid preferred but not mandatory, ideally the applicant would be willing to do a first aid refresher provided by us)
