Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in South Yarra VIC

I'm looking for a nanny/ies near 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 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 Saturday or 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.
Given nannies conflicting schedules, the job is likely to be divided between 2 nannies, each doing 2 days (morning and evening) and one day on the weekend.
Please contact me to discuss.
Thanks,
Ilan

Hello! We are looking for a Nanny to join our family for approx. 3 days per week to look after our 1 year old daughter Violet and 4 year old daughter Charlotte. Our current nanny is finishing in June and therefore we are looking for someone to start as soon as possible to enable a smooth handover.

If this sounds like a job that might fit what you're looking for, please message me to connect :)

Hi lovely people 👋 I'm looking for someone to help me out on school mornings and I thought I'd try here before going anywhere else.

I need a family assistant — someone experienced, reliable and a driver — to come to our home from 7–10am on weekdays when I have my kids (we run on an 8/6 custody rotation so it's not every week).

The role is pretty simple: help get the kids out the door with lunches packed and uniforms sorted, tidy up once they've left, and handle things like grocery runs and keeping the house stocked. The kind of person who notices we're out of eggs or that the firewood is running low — without needing to be told.

Kids are school-aged and independent, so this isn't a childcare role. I'm just looking for someone switched-on and trustworthy who knows how a family home runs.

Additional casual work after school and on weekends

We are supporting a warm, respectful family in St Kilda, VIC who are seeking high-quality In Home Care for their child. This role is coordinated through VPM In Home Care, an approved provider working within the Department of Education's In Home Care (IHC) program.

Role details
Location: St Kilda, VIC
Days: Wednesday and Thursday
Shifts: 9:30am - 8:30pm
Child: 2 year old

This is an agency-based role, not private employment. Educators are employed by VPM and supported through structured onboarding, compliance processes, and ongoing professional guidance.
Start: ASAP

Pay and employment conditions
Level 3 $36.90 per hour (Certificate III qualified educator)
Level 4 $39.38 per hour (Certificate III qualified educator with 4 years professional experience)
Level 5 $41.55 per hour (Diploma or higher qualified educator)
Higher rates apply after 6:30pm and on weekends
12% superannuation paid on top
WorkCover and public liability insurance included
PAYG employment through VPM (not contractor work)

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.

Hi - We are a family of 4 looking for someone to help with our 3 (about to turn 4yo) son and do pick up drop off for his big brother (8) who is at school about 10mins drive away from our home. Our youngest is currently a massive spiderman and monster truck fan and is a whiz at magnatiles.

If you only have afternoon availability please reach out too - we've got a bit of flexibility

The average day is the school run, park plays, a wander down the street for a snack adventure and whatever other fun you can come up with.

Currently days we need are Thursday and Friday 8-6pm with light house tidying and kids meal prep and ideally we'd love someone to be with us for the next few years if its a good fit!
