Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Southern Melbourne, VIC

We are looking for a nanny to take care of our 2 school aged kids (9 and 11) after school 3-4 days per week.
We would need you to pick them up from school (will need your own car) bring home and also take to after school sports activities.
We also have a pug, so hopefully you like dogs!
Ideally you could do pick ups at 3pm and be home with them until 6.30pm.
Also likely to need some hours during school holiday periods if available.
Thanks.

Are you looking for your own self-contained apartment that you can stay live in with a friend / partner? Our prior nanny has gone back to the UK and lived there with her boyfriend. So it was similar to an au pair role but she was experienced and independent. This job could be with or without the apartment.

We are looking for a long term nanny (at least a year, although would consider 6 months if you had a lot of flexibility) for a 3 and 5 year old. They will both attend kinder next year 8:40-3:15 so the job involves before and after school care on different days. This could be two hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon, or some weeks just three three hour shifts in the afternoons. Date nights and weekend shifts always available although we wouldn’t expect it.

Looking for someone who is kind and energetic, and who has initiative. Experience with, and a genuine love of, children is essential. We’re looking for someone who is honest, trustworthy and reliable, and who will engage with our children. We approach this like a team and have had excellent relationships with our last two Nannies.

Both children are active and happy little people who love socialising. It's important that you're comfortable driving (you'll drive our car) as there are a few activities (eg gymnastics, Prahran market, mini maestros, etc). Some are within walking distance but otherwise you'll likely use the car at least once a day (to do kinder pick up).

The role involves some house keeping before or after dropping the kidlets off (clothes washing and folding, unloading groceries) and food preparation.
We have a cleaner so the role doesn't require any deep cleaning - just keeping the house tidy and cleaning up as you go.

If this sounds of interest to you, please get in touch. We’d love to hear from you!

Pay is $35-40 p/hr negotiable depending on experience. Apartment deducted from salary. We pay on an hourly rate.

Hello,

My name is Nancy and I live in Caulfield South with my husband and 2 year old son.

Our son is a super sweet boy, a little shy at first but loves cuddles once he warms up.

I’m looking for a babysitter for the occasional weekend evening from around 7pm (he will be sleeping and sleeps really well through the night and we will be on call if needed).

I’m also expecting baby number 2 and looking to find someone between 30th Dec - 2nd Jan who could come for a few hours in the evening while my son is sleeping so my husband can visit me in hospital with the baby. I'll also need some help after the baby arrives while on maternity leave so there will be opportunity to continue working with us.

If you are available for either or both and would love to hear from you.

All my best,

Nancy

We look forward to hearing from you!

Hi all,

I’m looking for someone to join my team as a support worker for a beautiful 11 year old boy with Norries Disease who is blind and has autism and an intellectual disability. He is supported after school 3pm-8pm and on weekends and school holidays. Looking for someone who has availability on at least one of the listed weekdays and one of either fortnightly Saturday mornings 9am-1pm or fortnightly Sundays 10am-3pm or 3pm-8pm. The hours have potential to increase if desired by early next year as one of his current team members will be finishing her degree and moving on. All training and ongoing support is provided by me so no need for prior experience in support work but this is highly regarded. You would need to be mature, nurturing, and to have a passion for working with children and learning new skills as well as the ability to stay calm when child is dysregulated and adapt to ongoing training and feedback. Someone who is either working in or aspiring to work in behaviour support, occupational therapy, speech therapy or physio therapy would be perfect for this role as we work closely with these therapies and integrate goals into what we do with the children on a daily basis. Please note a drivers licence and access to a car is essential for the role. We are looking for someone who can make a long term commitment of at last 1 year and the role requires regular weekly work with the child to be able to work with him on the school holidays so I am not able to accept applicants who are looking for temporary or solely school holiday work. Thank you!

Hello, my husband and I are looking for someone to take care of our daughter from mid Jan when I return back to work. She will be 23 months old at that point. I have a flexible working arrangement and I will need help with my baby Mon-Fri for 2-3 hours per day from around 9:30-12:30. I will be mostly working from home and the idea is to use that time for meetings and focus. I have a designated work space outside of living room where my daughter usually spends most of her time when she is at home. I would need someone to play with her or organise some activities while I am working. If this is something that you would be interested in shoot me a message and let me know if you need more details. If you are available only couple of days per week during this time, please reach out as well!

Hi, I'm a solo mother of twin boys and looking for help with taking (or picking up) my children from Camberwell Primary School each day starting 2026. This will be a couple of hours a day, at least 4 days each week during the school term, starting 2026. However, it's important that you forge a strong relationship with my kids, so I would be interested in you starting sooner on a less frequent basis, if that's of interest.

The boys speak French and English. Ideally, if you speak French that would be a huge bonus. They will be attending a French language school next year. They do speak English.

Looking for someone who doesn't get overly stressed (or is comfortable being stressed), and doesn't mind the drive from Camberwell to Beaumaris. You must have your own vehicle and be happy having booster seats in the car when you drive them. Most likely looking for your help in the mornings, but if there are some mornings you can't do then I could do the morning that day and you could do the afternoon pick up instead. I do have some level of flexibility I can work with.

Needing someone reliable - this is key. If you can't commit for the full 2026 academic year then please don't apply - my kids will become attached to you (and I will need your support).

Thank you if you have taken the time to read this far! Hope to hear from you. Rate negotiable depending upon experience.

-Rebecca
