Hi Potential Nannies!

Im looking for a Nanny for my 3 beautiful girls for a few days a week starting for the next 3 months.
We are a loud and bright family in Eltham North looking for someone to help make our lives that bit easier!
The girls are aged 5, 7 and 9 and all attend school or kindergarten (on some days of the week).
We have hosted aupairs from the last few years and are having a few month gap in which we need in home care as I work full time mostly out of the home (Nurse and Midwife, but office hours!).

The care I require can be flexible for the right person, however can involve:
Getting the kids ready for the day (and can involve driving them to and from from school and kinder)
School pick ups and taking them to after school activities such as swimming and gymnastics.
Entertaining them and actively playing to their interests (they all love being crafty!) and
keeping the house running a little.
In terms of household duties they would include light trying and cleaning up after everyone. Eg. Managing their many piles of girls clothes, tidying up after the girls and keeping the kitchen clean
Whats most important is that the kids are happy.
I will always cook dinner but if you are able to help then thats a bonus!

Our carers really join our family, so this role is more then just "watching" the kids, but actively being with the kids. The girls are all totally different personalities but are all warm and loving and respond well to a positive caring personality and someone who can actively listen to what the kids are telling you. The role also involves holding firm boundaries at times in a kind way (or else they will convince you they can eat nutella and cream sandwiches every day as an after school snack! This is far from their first rodeo with a new Nanny!)

If you are interested I would love to organise a chat where we can make sure we are the right fit for each other.
Cant wait to meet you! :)

We are looking for a very kind and caring babysitter to look after Louie (5) and Holly (3) for 2-3 days per week between the 20th and the 31st of August 2026.

Both are very well behaved kids who love to play and enjoy themselves.

Hi,

My wife and I are looking for a caring, reliable nanny to look after our two young children while we work from home.

We wan to start in the week commencing 3 August, with regular hours on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from approximately 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

A little about our family:

- Our daughter is 3 years old and attends childcare on some days. She is a bubbly, curious little girl who loves helping out and enjoys creative play.
- Our son is 1 year old and is full of smiles. He's crawling, loves exploring his surroundings, and is at a fun stage of discovering everything around him.

We're looking for someone who enjoys engaging with young children through play, reading, outdoor time, arts and crafts, and other age-appropriate activities. We'd love to minimise screen time, so keeping them entertained without relying on TV or tablets is important to us. We're more than happy to provide or purchase toys, books, or learning materials that you think would help keep them engaged and support their development.

The role would also include light household duties related to the children, such as tidying up toys after playtime, cleaning up after meals, and helping keep the common areas neat throughout the day.

As both my wife and I work from home, there will always be at least one of us nearby if you need any assistance or have any questions.

If you're interested, we'd love to hear from you. When you reply, could you please let us know:

- Your hourly rate.
- Your availability if you want to start before 3rd August.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks,

Qiao
